Lol. Safe strollers --> tyranny. Got it. |
Uh no. That "market solution" only occurred due to government oversight, such that it is. The settlement was with the CPSC because the CPSC forced them to offer this. |
Not true. CR finds and reports on thousands of defective products before CPSC even know they exist. That's why I am curios about CR and this stroller. |
Has anyone actually READ the articles?
1. This relates to strollers that are more that 4 years old. BOB Has made the quick release so that it doesn’t slide out of the casing. 2. I don’t understand how babies are being ejected, if they are using the 5 point harness system that is PART OF THE STROLLER? |
No one cares about facts or children. Just give us something to attack Trump and the GOP. |
The baby could be really injured if the stroller flipped and parent landed on top of it (that's one of the actual accidents recounted). |
I agree! |
I read the article. BOB fixed the problem, because they knew it was an issue, but they adamantly resisted a recall of existing strollers using the old design. The old design, by the way, that had a margin of error of less than half a turn of a little lever. And in at least one case, the stroller flipped as a result of the front wheel coming off. I really don't get why people are so invested in defending BOB and denigrating consumers here. There was a way to fix a known problem. And it's a problem if your product requires users to be 100 percent perfect every time. People make mistakes. They forget to check sometimes, or they don't turn the lever far enough. It happens. But people are so busy being judgmental that they take the side of a big corporation that doesn't give a rats-ass about them over government workers whose job is it to look out for them. |
They need to recall the brains of the people who can't follow instructions. |
Also, its not a 5- point. It is only a 3 point and thus with a serious crash kids a more likely to fall out or be injured. |
