View Full Version : Don't use Wheely Bugs on concrete

This might be totally obvious to everyone but me, but we ruined our Wheely Bugs this week by using them on a relatively smooth concrete porch. The wheels got rough enough in one afternoon to scratch our laminate flooring in our living room. I guess I thought that it would be ok since the WB website clearly shows children using them in a parking lot. I emailed them but they haven't gotten back to me. Looks like we will have to pay $3 for EACH replacement wheel which is going to be a big PITA. Just a warning for others.....

How about your floor? Are the scratches real bad?

Same for plasma cars. They need to be either inside or outside toys IMO.

Oh that's a bummer. I have heard that once ride on toys get used outside, the wheels will scratch up the floors indoors.

No... That's not at all obvious to me. Thanks for the warning.

Not awful. Just a couple places. We figured out where they came from pretty quickly, fortunately!
