Can they be used outside?
Any smooth, flat surface is suitable. However keep them away from dirt or sand as this can get into the castors; slow them down and make them rough so then they might scratch indoor surfaces. Also do not leave the toy outside in the rain or direct sunshine for long periods as this can damage the surfaces.
Can they be used on pavers?
They will run on pavers but the castors may become damaged in time. Don't worry; replacements can be purchased from your distributor.
Will they run on carpet?
Obviously it is slower going on carpet, but your child will get a good work out!
