You don't need tools. There is a little pin that you can pull out in order to remove the bigger back wheels.

You can definitely remove the wheel & just put tubes or a window on the side that the wheel is attached. I have the Ovo Suite attached to this & rearrange the tubes/homes every time I clean it! :)

No they do not come off. It won't take a whole lot of room, but it may need to be enclosed in a plastic bag or something sturdier if you are checking it in with luggage. If you really need to have one where you are going & don't have too much carry on luggage, you might just take it onto the plane (if that's your mode of transportation).

It took me so many tears and much anger to figure out. Each wheel must be pushed up into the five arms. Each wheel should have a small stick on top that can fit into each of the five legs' holes with some force.At least that's how I did it. The instructions were nonsensical. Good luck

You don't ever need to take wheel off. There is a spacer between the wheels that can be taken out and you can move wheel over if needed (put spacer on outside of two wheels). I bevel for sidewalk, driveway and curb.

The Wheels where put in so they got to come out. Use a flat screw driver to pry out.

No, the reason being that when you replace the luggage wheel, the replacement bolts are different for each brand luggage. You will need to go to a hardware store and buy two small bolts, about 1/4" x (about) 1-1/4" long. Amazon will also recommend you purchase a bearing set ($5.00) with the wheels, you should follow their instructions as you will need them as well. If you explain to the attendant at the hardware store, he should be able to assist you in getting additional washers and lock nuts(recommended). Actual time with assembly should take you less than 20 minutes. I hope this helps you.

I used a screwdriver. It did seem like it was going to break, but nothing broke. I do agree they should be easier to take off.

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.

If I remember right, I think you'll only need a screwdriver and maybe a mallet to get the wheels in firmly. My wife has been very happy with it. High quality (especially for the price), and the collapsible sides are definitely a plus.

Honestly its not too difficult at all. You will need to take a small wrench/pair of pliers and Phillips screwdriver with you. I keep one in my car trunk for that reason. We take my daughter out to the parks etc and always take the handle off so it fits in the car trunk. Putting back on is a piece of cake - as long as you remember to have the tools! :)

Squeeze the tip of the attachment that keeps the wheel on. When you squeeze it, it becomes small enough to fit through to take the wheel off carefully. The tip is what holds the wheel on as well.

It's been years since I bought this, & never took them off, they're worn, but never replaced. I keep directions. FOR REAR WHEELS-- You have to pop off the collet cover (button) on the outside of the wheels first, then take off collet (piece under cover). Hold axle & pull off wheel. To put together--do opposite of..... -Fit brake teeth extension to wheel if it is not pre-molded. -Slide wheel assembly onto axle. -Fix small plastic collet onto axle end and ensure that the key in axle groove is correctly located in the slot of the collet. -Fit cover to collet by firmly pressing the cover into place. Repeat for other side. FOR FRONT WHEELS --read bottom Fit the footplate into place by pushing the 4 plastic studs into the holes in the frame. Screw the 4 screws firmly into place. Remove the plastic packing from the front forks and dispose of them safely. Loosen the quick release outer nuts and washers from the wheel's axle but do not remove. Fit the front wheel into the slots on the front forks at the same time fit the pins into the holes on the forks. Make sure that the quick release lever is in the open position and finger tighten both nuts. Push the lever to the closed position to tighten securely. Pull the wheel to ensure it is fitted correctly. Before the nuts are tightened please ensure that the front wheel is fitted parallel with the two rear wheels. Incorrect alignment could cause the stroller to veer to one side. *******To remove the wheel, push the lever to open and loosen that nuts enough to free the washer pins from the forks. Was trying to scan the pics but wouldn't work. Hope this helps. No phone but PETGEARINC.COM might help. Lisa

We didn't remove ours, but all the luggage we used were soft bags and sleeping bags, so everything just molded around them. If you are using hard suitcases, it might not be great.

You do not need to remove the adapter. However, the stroller does not fold as flat if you do not remove it. We found that we would have to remove it sometimes when going through airport security screeners, but that was about it. We would also generally remove it when going on long road trips in a packed car (to get extra space). One thing we also learned is that you can make the stroller a lot lighter by removing the existing seat (so you would just have a frame, the adapter, and your car seat). It is very easy to remove the seat and put it back on when you are done with the adapter and your child is in the main seat. You do not need to remove the adapter.

There's a small cutout section on one of the corners. Pry on that cutout and the back will come off with some pressure. Don't worry, you won't break it.
