[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG.. I have a BOB. I check the assembly before every use LIKE THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY TO.

I know, crazy, right?

I also position my child’s helmet before bike rides, on her forehead, even though the size of strap means I could position it on top of her head. I check my road bike quick release. I tighten my car seat straps. I even check the temperature of water coming from our taps!

I guess I’m just pissy because I’m in Canada, where I can no longer buy uncooked chicken fingers because people are too stupid to read cooking instructions, like stroller instructions. [/quote]

Aren't Canadians usually nice?

That's great that you read the instructions thoroughly and that you have checked the BOB every single time LIKE THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY TO. But things happen and not everyone reads all of the instructions. A lot of people get these strollers secondhand, without instructions, and just make do. Clearly we should all read the instructions but the world is an imperfect place. There was clearly a way to improve the stroller design to reduce this safety hazard. And it sounds like there was no room for error on the BOB; a parent could have read the instructions front to back and still had a problem if they didn't tighten it 100%.
