[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]This makes me laugh at the smug cult of BOB.  How’s your status stroller now? Ahhahahahahahahaha[/b]

Seriously though, they should recall it if people are getting hurt. Even if it’s an operator error it sounds like there’s a problem with the design. [/quote]

You laugh at people who have the nerve to want to exercise (safely) and be a parent at the same time?  What is wrong with you?[/quote]

I have a jogging stroller that cost less than a half of a BOB.  I can’t tell you how many people I’ve seen selling these things for $200 plus that have let them sit out in their yard for a year or two. That’s what I’m laughing at they insist that they hold their value but they don’t take care of them.  You can be a parent that exercises safely without dropping several hundred dollars on a stroller. [b]It is a status stroller that’s why people get so hyped about them.[/b][/quote]

Having run with our BOB and other, cheaper jogging strollers, the difference is night and day.  There may be status to them, but they also are a heck of a lot smoother to push.  This news is horrible for what many of us believed was a great product.[/quote]

Then you’re an idiot. Do you tie your running shoes and then kick them off at the end of a run, expecting them to fit the same next time you slide them on, intird?

Our BOB is still an xcloent product but *gasp* we occasionally adjust the brakes, quick release, and other components. Just like we do our bikes.

Do you people never actually check anything?

This isn’t about Britax. It’s about deferring safety to someone else. Britax cares about children.. as much as any large corporation. Are you implying that large corporations are supposed to cost more about kids then the parents who aren’t reading and heeding instructions?m[/quote]

Large corporations are supposed to take into account how people ACTUALLY interact with products -- not expecting them to read the manual every time, especially when the product works in a way that is very DIFFERENT from the standard product (most strollers don't have quick-release wheels) AND the product is often re-sold on the grey market without instructions.  Everyone knows that fine print doesn't work.  A product that hurts people when consumers use it as expected is a defective product.  This has been established ad nauseum in consumer research and consumer protection law and policy, so your griping is pointless.  [/quote]
