Our stroller is dangerous

Here's a news article that describes how it can AMPUTATE baby FINGERTIPS:

Turns out that they are only doing a recall in the US. Here is the Australian Maclaren page that blames parents for not following safety instructions:

They think that you shouldn't let your kid near the pram when you are putting it up.

Hah. I can just imagine how easy that is going to be once the girls are walking! Girls, can you please stand over there and wait while I wrestle with this pram AGAIN thankyou oh that is marvellous the way you are standing in a little row in the shade over there.

  1. Loved seeing bouncy Ivy in the library beanbag! She is so gorgeous. A happy bappy.

    Re the pusher - it's bad that Australia isn't also recalling them. Will you ask McLarens for the free elbow cover? xxx Nanna

  2. Yep I requested it yeterday. though Chrissy did point out that we use our Maclaren strollers only when using the car, and we both leave the kids in the car while we set up the pram. So it should be fine. But anyway.
