Are the folding wheels durable? I've had 2 Magna Carts & the folding mechanisms are plastic. They both have broken within a year of having the cart.

I have not had this one for a year but I carry my heavy bass amp on it and take it up and down stairs and it has held up well. I had one before but made the mistake of giving it away. The guy is still using it and he carries amp as well. These are rugged tires.

I use mine to haul Yeti ice chest. I have not had any problems at all including pulling it up and down stairs. It is a very sturdy cart.

hmm good question - I feel that you can, but I have had zero issues with the plastic folding ones. They are quite durable as I have been hit by a car, crashed the bike, had it toppled over, etc and everything is still in working fashion. But I would shoot the owner that question and I am sure he would be able to give you a better answer.Mike

I would have to say that they hold up very well. I haven't actually used mine yet to haul out a deer, but I took it out to Colorado last fall on an elk hunting trip. I loaded it down with well over a 100 pounds of gear, strapped it to the back of my ATV and pulled it 2 to 3 miles back into camp over very rocky, rough terrain. It even made it back on the return trip to my vehicle without failure. I would recommend this deer cart to anyone.

It does fold very fast if you let it, but I do it slowly and keep it in a standing position and haven't had any trouble with it. I read the reviews before I bought it that said it would collapse really fast, so the first time I tried it, I let it collapse just to see what would happen. .. and they weren't kidding! But you can definitely avoid it happening if you go slow and keep all of the wheels on the ground while folding. Easy fix :)

We have taken the stroller on over 50 miles of walks with our dogs on sidewalks, grass, asphalt roads, and small rocky roads. While the wheels show some wear, we have not had one of them fail. I have also contacted Pet Gear Customer Service to order a backup set of wheels which are relatively inexpensive. I hope this helps.

It does fold quite easily but it's not something we do often - only when cleaning. I'm not sure how reliable the folding mechanism is for continued folded storage. It is a wonderful treadmill that we have had for about three years. Good luck!

The wheels are hard plastic, but it doesn't bother me. The cart is very sturdy, especially compared to the cheap all-plastic shopping carts out there. My son pushes it around the tile floor as well as on carpeting... No issues with the wheels. I didn't even know they were once made with rubber.

Plastic . The shopping cart is garbage . You can't put anything heavy in it . If you do the wheels will come off . I just use it for laundry now . Going to get another shopping cart . Don't buy if your going to put something heavy ini it . You been warned

I have only used mine for one season but I have had no problems with durability so far. They seem to be heavy duty enough to last a long time. The wheels are stamped steel and the tires are solid rubber. The only complaint I have is the odor from the rubber that several of the reviewers talked about. It is strong and last a long time. I think it is outgassing from the rubber compound that is used and probably is due to the process being used to make them not being the same as we are used to with normal tires. Not sure if it would bother a deer but I don't leave the cart near my stand location. I have only used mine for one season but I have had no problems with durability so far.

I would add that I have had mine only since Sept and it is broken; one wheel will not swivel and makes it hard to turn. It was used only inside. It works poorly on carpet, and I would not try it on grass, sand or gravel. Customer service refuses to assist me with a repair; I am going to talk to them again after the first of the year and if I get no assistance at that time, may report the problem to the safety agency.

All wheels are hard plastic, but are well constructed. My daughter has had her big wheel for over two years now without anything breaking. The only downside to plastic wheels is the wheel will spin on certain surfaces and not grip to go.

I've had mine for over eight months and I still love it. It saves so much folding time, it's crazy! Have had no problems at all. It could be they've used theirs more than I have. But, still, I have no complaints.

It is pretty light and easy to fold. However the wheel fell off of mine after just three uses.

i would not call them cheap plastic. this cart works better than the large carts in the grocery store.

I love this wagon, it is awesome. I run a daycare and use this wagon daily. Have had itabout 2 years. But The front wheels get bent. If surface is uneven you have to lift front. The wheels bend away from frame. I have been through 2 wagan because of this.

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.
