I have the cart put together but the wheels are not in snug. Are they supposed to be that easy to fall off?

The wheels fit snugly and lock in, but I had to tap mine several times with a hammer to get them all the way in.

I do not believe the wheels should fall off. Sounds like they are not the right size

I have never tried to push it only pull it aside from maybe tring to get it on the bus. But it does roll very well. I have over loaded this cart with 200 dollars worth of grocerys then pulled it over rocks and rough dirt down a trail to my house. I did this all the time and it has held up very well even through snow.This is a strong cart and the wheels are the best part better than any other cart I have had. Most cart wheels cant stand up to my abuse but these do. The time one did fall off it was easy to just put it back on and lock it back in place didnt just fall apart like those old metal shopping carts.

I just loked at the wheels. They both look the same. I snapped and unsnapped both equally with the little metal piece around the wheel. They do slide off easily if you pull them but the carriage has been perfectly fine as it. I do remember inhad trouble with the frot wheel and had extra pieces that I couldn't figure out how to use to I just assembled it to the best of my ability and the wheels have never been am issue. It's not a great answer but its reassuring hopefully that you can put it I together and it stays by Christmas Eve.

The problem is that the gap in the "hooks" is wider than the thickness of the edge of the cart areas to which they attach. The "hooks" then slide out of position, loose their strap tension and detach from the cart. I attached small c-clamps to the edges of the cart to prevent the "hooks" from sliding.

The wheels are the weakest part of the cart. I replaced my wheels with 10 inch by 1.5 inch hard rubber wheels. You can buy these at the big box stores. The best price I found was at a farm and ranch. First take the plastic axle caps off and notices the axle diameter. The replacement wheels will need to have the same diameter. Cap on one wheel then slide 4 one and three quarter inch washers onto the axle, (be sure you buy washers with the proper inside diameter. Slide the axle on and place another 4 washers and the other wheel and cap. The purpose of the washers is to make up the slack caused by the narrower wheels. At first I though the narrower wheels would make the cart less stable but have found this is not the case. I routinely load this cart up with over 250 lbs with no problems. Hope this helps. Rich

Did you get any answers? I can't figure out how to put the wheels on securely.

I found they sometimes get a bit stuck. Normally they should come out by pushing them lightly. Usually it helped when I unscrewed that bit just slightly until the legs drop out and then screw it up again.

I believe the wheels and axle are the only components to be assembled. I just checked mine and the small front wheels are kept on with a cotter pin, and the large rear wheels have hubs that are tapped on with a hammer. If bending and stooping is a problem you could bring this up to counter top level if you have a suitable surface such as a workbench or work table. The cart isn't very heavy (to me; your milage may vary). I'm 57. I think this cart is a good value. Cheers!

the wheels don't fall off. you need them. I don't know if you can purchase without.

"I am looking to use this to wheel items to and from a car . . . Why do y think the wheels will hold up?"I don't know about the wheels holding up, I pushed this cart with about 10 lbs of stuff on it and since it was a smooth floor, nothing fell down and it was easy to push. If the area between your car and where you're loading the stuff from has small rocks/gravel, then I don't think there'll be stable enough to support the cart and it will tip over.

You have to make sure they are really snapped in place. They fell out the first time I used it...then I saw they were not quite in all the way. good luck. I loved this stroller while my girl was alive.

Hi, I'm not sure. Since the wheels will not stay locked into the legs, I wouldn't advise putting anything on top of this cart, in fact I wouldn't recommend the investment. It looks nice but it is horribly constructed/designed.

I had one wheel that took a lot of muscle to finally get it to lock into place. I was afraid that I would break it, but it finally snapped into place. Good luck! And yes, a wheel that keeps falling off would be extremely frustrating!

It has been a while, but I do remember that there were little pins the size of small paper clips that slipped into a hole on the ends of the bars. I believe you slip a washer than the wheel then the pin in the hole. It appears like there is no way in heck it will keep the wheel in place, but so far so good on my cart.

Wheels are a hard rubber. I would have prefered air filled but they work. I had no issues with the cart I bought other than a small flat spot on one of the tires most likely from when it was poured. Spokes on the tires are pretty firm also. It was worth the money. Hope this helps.

Maybe if you remove the wheels. It's a sturdy cart, but not a steady cart. Moving a big TV around might be problematic.

Remove the little plastic pieces. Stand the cart on one end (preferably on a carpet where it won't slip). Press the wheel on the metal piece very hard (using your weight if necessary). You will hear a click and it will be on. Turn over and do the same with the other wheel. Good luck. I love mine.
