My mother walks on a packed dirt road. Would these wheels be suitable?

It is a sturdy devise, but have not tried it on dirt. If it is packed and not rocky, I would think it might be okay. It is not sturdy if not fitted correctly. Andreana

If it is a good pack solid then yes I believe it would. It there are very many loose rocks then I don't believe so.

I believe it probably would be ok but my mother uses it inside and on concrete. The brand is good so I would read the details on other models and compare.

If the road is truly packed, not wet with rain, and without ruts, I think this is an excellent choice. I have most difficulty on pavers and those awful metal bumpers at cross walks. Carpets and wood floors don't usually present a problem.

Yes, the wheels are large enough so that they should work find on packed dirt. Gravel would be more difficult however

My Mother-in-law uses her inside and outOver grassy and gravel areas but mainly sidewalk and hard surfaces

yes---the six " wheels are superior to the 4" ones-----although i still have to give the walker a little boost now and then over rough terrain or in the garden----good choice for the $$$

One of the features is larger wheels so they roll better so, yes, they should work ok on packed dirt. You should also have a choice of walker width for even better off road performance.

Yes, I own a Posh and I have taken my little one for a walk around the park trail and the wheels are not made for the uneven surfaces. I had to push very slowly and gently but I love it otherwise. Hope this helps!

Yes! My mother has used this same walker for 2-3 years now and ways over 250 lbs.

Yes, they are. The stroller is very much like a children's stroller. As long as you stay within the weight perimeters I feel they wheels would be sturdy.

Sure. They will work in sand, mud, or snow. Anywhere you need to establish some traction and get your wheels moving a bit without spinning.

It would probably be okay because the wagon and the wheels are sturdy, but it'd probably not move all that fast as it would be if were something that just had one or two wheels, like a wheelbarrow for example.

They could, but not advised. The wheels are polyurethane, however they are soft and will wear out very fast, and be too tacky to enjoy on pavement. On a wood floor, they are great... Not advised for outdoor.

I don't think so. They are nice. It may be a bit hard to slide because these wheels have strong grip. Think they are perfect though!

They are pretty skinny wheels. They will fit, but they will buldge a lot. I have 25c on them, and it's pretty flush.

It really depends upon your application. If you want this for running errands, getting from a building to your car and back, or other light outdoor use, it will probably be fine. If by 'out side' you mean traversing rocky or muddy terrain, I'd look elsewhere. The wheels are really made for relatively smooth surfaces, like pavement. Also, beware of large cracks in asphalt or concrete.

In a word yes although I have not tested over uneven ground but the wheels are well built and should take a battering.

I use them on the road only, but they are light and roll great. They should do fine too for 'cross!

The Small tires are Tippy on Uneven ground/Trail. You'd be better off find a cart with Large wheels. They are plenty strong enough to handle the weight/load but like I said, Small Wheels are made for concrete etc.,

They are basically rollerblade wheels so it wouldn't work good on sand, rocks, or dirt. It needs to be pretty firm.

I didn't have my mom's brand name or a model number when I took a chance on these wheels and it worked out beautifully. I just looked up her model number and it was an Invacare brand walker. Honestly, I think these walkers are pretty universal in size so I would recommend the person thake a chance on it to know. I was pretty happy I took a blinded chance on it. The larger wheel is working out great. Model we had was 6291-3F Invacare

these things are so light that i dont see why you would need any wheels. my 6 yr old moves it no problem.

You'd need to be on a very smooth surface as the small wheels don't do well on rough surfaces.
