are the wheels rubber or plastic? are they non-marking?

I really don't know whether they are rubber or plastic. Except for the kitchen and the breakfast room, our floors are all carpeted and I have not noticed any type of residue or marking on either type of flooring.

They are rubber- hard rubber--like training wheels. I have not seen it mark any surface. My mother has had hers for almost six months. My sister bought one for her mother-in-law for Christmas. I have arthritis and borrowed it from my mother to walk in Chicago in snow & cold. It never marked any floors in the hotel, stores, etc.

It is difficult to determine the composition of the wheels. However, I do not believe they are rubber but of a plastic composition. They do not make marks on my carpet, wood floors, outdoor concrete, etc. so they are good to go. Hope this helps.

They seem to be some sort of hard rubber. They have not marked any thing in our house yet!

I got one about two months ago and it has five spoke plastic wheels with a slightly softer "plastic" tires. I was expecting the spoke wheel with rubber tires but these do seem pretty durable.

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

they are plastic. One of the smaller wheels bent and broke off within the first month. I still use it, however, when full it wants to fall down

They are hard plastic. Cant say yet how they hold up outside since we bought this around Christmastime and any one in the midwest will tell you there was no playing outside here yet! They've been using these type wheels on Little Tikes wagons and play cars for years and seem to hold up ok. I can say that we really like this wagon.

They are rubber wheels. Good quality for the price. My son loves them. They were a birthday gift for him last year.

My wheels are NOT plastic. I think they may be a firm rubber. They are firmer than the tip of my cane and that's rubber. I hope this helps you

They are plastic. We were hesitant about buying it for this reason, but my son uses it for almost an hour every day and they haven't worn out in the 4 months he's been using it. It is a bit loud, would be quieter if it had rubber wheels.

I believe that they were rubber, but the bolt mechanism rusted through within 6 months so I no longer have it. Not a good product, as far as I'm concerned.

I believe they're molded plastic. So far they've held up perfectly, even after the front wheel was driven over by a car. No damage!

Hi, the wheels are plastic, but the tires are rubber. Not filled with air, but still pliable rubber. It is great for the street, but would be a rough ride on trail. It is very well made and our cat loves it!

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 wheels are rubber, very firm rubber and very durable. Best pram around! We've had ours for a really long time and our daughter uses it daily. Inside and out, up and down stairs and not a thing has broke. Such a good find. Highly recommend it!

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.
