HELOOOOOO ......mouskemom did you miss what I said previously? I would not take those strollers anywhere. I would most certainly not take them to DW where stress may play a factor and you may be in a hurry etc. ALL MACLARENS including the double stroller and the volvo has a recall notice that went out this past monday.
The recall comes after 15 reports of children placing their fingers in the hinge mechanism of the stroller. Along with these 15 reports, there have also been 12 reports of children amputating the tips of their fingers due to the dangerous stroller.
The strollers involved in the recall are the Maclaren single and double umbrella strollers listed below:
Volo Triumph Quest Sport Quest Mod Techno XT TechnoXLR Twin Triumph Twin Techno Easy Traveller All effected strollers were sold at mass merchandise retailers nationwide between 1999 and November 2009.
As a remedy, Maclaren is offering free hinge covers to better protect children. No matter where you live, you can order them on the Maclaren USA website. Yet as of Monday afternoon, it was difficult to access the site because it was overloaded. "We are working to address the issue," says Charlotte Addison, marketing manager for Maclaren USA. "We didn't anticipate getting the volume that we got today," she says, explaining that since Maclaren had originally planned to announce the recall on Tuesday, the site wasn't ready for the huge traffic. (You can also call 877-688-2326; good luck getting through.) or email:
