Joy- My daughter has a Colors sport chair--  here are a few ideas:   Do the
tires have enough air?  Hope it's a nice day tomorrow & take it outside on
cement- crushed stones-rough surfaces. The wheels need alittle breakin to
get rid of some smoothness..... We did have to adjust the center of balance
on hers--provider did--but it pushes very easy now-- easier than her other
chair which she takes to school.  Call for an adjustment next week..enjoy
it--  have a good weekend---Joy & Sarah
