Are the wheels hard plastic or softer like nylon or silicone...?

Softer like nylon or silicone. Not hard like the white plastic part you insert your pool pole in.

the top is hard plastic but the wheels MIGHT be rubber which I think is latex or a form of latex. You should ask the manufacturer.

They are solid rubber- The front wheels either lock straight (which is the mode we use) or swivel. Our pair is smaller- in the 13# each range - but we do a lot of hills up and down and the wheels have held up great.

The wheels are plastic, but they roll smoothly and they handle a reasonable amount of weight.

They are plastic. The back wheels are bigger and are a softer plastic. The front wheel is a little harder plastic, and it is smaller. I have not noticed any scratching on my floor, but my floor is not in the best condition.

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.

The wheels are a harder but durable rubber. Not squishy soft but not a molded hard composition. Good in the house or outside walking the "babies". A quality doll stroller that my grand daughter has enjoyed for two years now. I would recommend it highly!

No they are a hard plastic. I had reservations until my grandson started "drifting" and doing powerslides in the driveway

Jeremiah, I just went out to the garage to look. The wheels are plastic with pneumatic tires. We have been very satisfied with the durability. I just checked my order history to see when we purchased it. I was surprised that we bought it in April 2011. My now seven year old son has used (abused) it almost daily and it has held up very well. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Dave

The wheels are plastic. We have had this For about eight months now using it a lot. It is made of good quality and very sturdy. I would not hesitate to buy it again.

The wheels seem to be of sturdy hard plastic. I've drug it down steps fully loaded and it was fine.

Thanks but am getting conflicting answers about the wheels being metal vs plastic. One person said they are not metal, but plastic with a rubber belt turning them.

The tires are shiny like plastic, and quite hard, but I think they're actually rubber. My fingernails can make a slight indentation, which they won't do on plastic. Also, they don't seem to skid on hard floors.

The one I ordered in June had the rubber wheels. I don't think they would last too long with plastic wheels. I will be looking to purchase 2 more soon, but now am concerned about purchasing a swivel car.

The wheels are neither hard plastic or softer rubber. They are a dense squeezable foam composition. For being foam they work great on our laminate floors and I love the fact they won't cause any scratches.

The wheels are high grade, hard thick plastic. Our grandson has ridden on a concrete driveway for almost 2 years on it and the wheels are still as strong as they were when we purchased it. Very durable.

The wheels are plastic. The instructions are easily read and it was easy to assemble, just make sure the child is not around. Parts may 'wander off' during assembly making everything more difficult lol
