How can I get the wheels to lock in when I don't have a rubber mallet? Tried putting my hand in a shoe and smashing it down, but that didn't work.

Mine came fully assembled. All I had to do is put the bag of food in it, as I recall.

The same thing happen to me! one of the wheels is stripped out and can't place it back. Any idea how to contact the vendor?

I read a couple of other reviews of this product complaining about problems inserting the wheels into the holes. I didn't have a problem with it. My advice is to try again. You must be doing something wrong.

I wish I had a simple solution for you, but I can't seem to get mine to stay either. But I'm thinking I may go buy a cheap pair of shoes and gorilla glue the damn things to the pedals.

I just pushed in the lever/release valve on the wheel and it unlocked and once I had it shoved all the way back I released the lever and both wheels locked into place. You don't push down on the lever to release the lock, you push it IN horizontally. The instructions said to just push the wheel onto the axel and that just did not work. Have to push in the little metal lever on the wheel base first

You have to "slide" it in from the side, I think. Worth a try. Or maybe have one person hold one side down while another person pushes the axle down with foot (while wearing a shoe!) Try both suggestions. It's been a while since I put ours together. We have so many of these kids things, it hard to remember how they were all put together. I totally understand your frustration!

Remove the little plastic pieces. Stand the cart on one end (preferably on a carpet where it won't slip). Press the wheel on the metal piece very hard (using your weight if necessary). You will hear a click and it will be on. Turn over and do the same with the other wheel. Good luck. I love mine.

Yes, the wheels lock. There is a small lever beneath each handle grip (you can see it if you look closely at the photo). You simply push the lever down and the wheels lock in place.

Hi! I wanted to do exactly the same thing but the current design does not allow for it because the wheels are on the inside of the frame, so I drilled new holes on the other sides and put the wheels on the outside. Works great now! Hope that makes sense.

Mine were a little hard to snap in also. I had to really put a lot of pressure to fit in. I used a mallot (hope I spelled correctly). Rubber hammer. :)

I had the same problem with the wheel and almost returned it. you have to put the trike down on its wheels and wack it with a hammer.

If you are able to adjust the brake cable properly the wheels will lock. Simply push all the way down on the brake handle. It is a great rollator. My only problem is that I am six feet four and the handles are not high enough. JMC.

The wheels just lock into place if I remember correctly. It was really super easy.

There are 2 ways to lock and unlock the wheels. You can manually push the brakes down by hand or foot and use the hand brakes. FYI if the hand brakes are engaged after you unlock the the lower part of the brakes it won't fully disengage. Both have to be unlocked to keep the wheel rolling free. The foot pedals can adjust by pushing in the buttons.

It's not easy! I squeeze the prongs that just stick out of the middle of the wheel together while easing the rim of the wheel away from the base trying to keep the pressure even to avoid breaking off one of the prongs. I have broken about half my wheels, but it seems to work just fine with one prong (and actually it becomes easier to take apart then).

Hi, I held mine by the wheel tightly and loosely gripped the body and mine slipped right apart. Try twisting it first to get it loose. Thanks!

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.
