[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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? [/quote]

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.  [/quote]
