Is there a way to kind of lock the wheels in place? They keep falling off and I can't seem to click them into place. Very frustrating.

The wheels have a small latch. Pull it, the wheels roll; push it down, the wheels are locked. I don't understand how they would 'fall off', without raising the cart up into the air.

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!

Turn it upside down and tap the wheels in with a hammer. They will click in, but it took me several tries. This is not the same as the locking mechanism to keep the cart from rolling.

I have a problem with the 2 back wheels. After we had snapped on the wheels, we noticed the carriage was uneven. It's minor, but I can feel it when u push it. My only suggestion is to undo the wheel and put it back on. If nothing works, just send it back for a replacement. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I had trouble getting the wheels in too. I lubed the wheel shafts with WD40 with my fingers and as I was putting the wheels in with the chair upside down. I used a hammer & screwdriver on bottom of the wheels. Gently hitting the screwdriver. Wheels went in fine then.

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.

When you put the cart together, did you push the wheels on until they clicked? If not, they'll fall off.

They don't exactly lock into place. There is grooves they set in to keep them in place. I have not had problems with them moving so it seems to work for me.

Does it say you can lock the wheels? I am unaware of that. We don't lock ours and don't think you can.

Dear Lakshmi,That happened to me at one point. Try checking the the small latches on the wheels. Whether they are up or down determines if the wheels are locked in place or mobile. I hope that helps.

It's been more than a year since we assembled the chair but I do not remember any issues with putting the wheels on. It seems to me that they clicked in. What do the directions indicate? Maybe you should call a woodworking company and ask them. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

As for the wheels, just reach down and pull up the levers. VeryEasy, very simple---Sorry, can't help with the footrests---They should have some instructions but they have not.

I never had any problem with the wheel coming off. I did have the wheels on wrong at the beginning and it was easy to fix. I had the wheels on the inside where you walk instead of on the outside. I took them out and they had to be put in on the opposite sides of each other. Maybe you didn't have them snapped in place. It shouldn't have anything to do with the weight. Make sure they are snapped in. You will hear it click when they are snapped in right.

Hi Heather, the wheels are removable which is what I did. I didn't want it to move either which I don't actually know if they lock. For the price it was a great purchase.

I'm sitting in this chair right now, had it for a few months and have never had the wheels come off. I do recall having to violently pound them into place when i was first assembling the chair. I almost felt as if I might break something given the force required to properly seat the wheels but I havent had a problem with them coming out. I would recommend getting the wheels in as well as you can and then hammering down on the chrome piece above the wheels until they slide deeper into place. Just make sure to use a rubber mallet or place a towel between the hammer and the chrome so as not to scratch it up.

If you pull down on the brakes, they will lock in place. I hope that helps!

I did have quite a bit of trouble getting the casters in as well. I think I finally had to have my husband muscle them in with sheer will. Maybe an object that fits between the wheels and a hammer or a mallet would help. They did eventually go in and they are never coming out. I do like that they are secure because we have a footstool with wheels that constantly fall out. We did not use any lubricants or special tools.
