I got this DS a while back and keep forgetting to assemble it...we might give it to him for Xmas, but now that its cold, the only way for him to really play with it would be indoors. I'm just worried the plastic wheels will mess up our hardwood floors?
Anyone btdt? Or is there anything I can do to prevent it? Otherwise we might just sell it on craigslist and use the $$ towards a puky in the spring... TIA! |

I wouldn't risk my hardwood floors, honestly (we also have hardwood throughout our house). Why not wait and give it to him in the spring? Or do you have a basement where he can run it around?

We have had the Police Car for 3 years and my 2 & 4 yr old boys have played with it nearly single day on my lovely, new hardwood floors and they haven't done any damage to it whatsoever. It has big plastic tires which don't scratch the floor and haven't left any black marks-but I think the key is keeping the floor clean because any hard particles (like dirt & sand) could scratch the finish if they are dragged around under the tires (or little feet). Also, since it was a Christmas present it was too cold to use it outside, so it has been used exclusively indoors, and we never had to worry about bringing in dirt, etc from outside.

Ditto! We have a police car that was DS #1 and DS #2 is using it now. It's been used indoors and out and there has been no damage to the floors at all!

I'm with Lori. I wouldn't risk it, especially if your floors are not oak.
My maple floors are a disaster thanks to my son. :( ~ deb DS born at home 12/03 Breastfeeding After Reduction is possible! www.bfar.org http://www.bfar.org/members/fora/sty...onths-bfar.jpg |
