my pushchairs a graco - eeek! but the only stroller that seems to be affected is a "century", and they stopped production of that in 2001.

well that's going to be the one and only graco purchase I ever make.

you'ld have thought after the first injured baby they might have started worrying, not after 250

The death toll is shocking too

Although, didn't Graco make a large proportion of Mothercare's own brand stuff too - strollers, car seats etc ?

details of the recalled strollers:-

Model Name Years Made
Take 2 2000
Travel Solutions 1999-2000
Pioneer 1998-2000
Travelite 1997-1998
Pro Sport 1996-1999

lockets

FWIW, the parents I know with Graco buggies have all had countless painful trapping/pinching injuries from unfolding/folding their Graco's

my graco has been fine to fold unfold (bl**dy difficult and stiff but no injuries to report), but several times have got fingers pinced doing the harness up

does this effect UK products as well? on the link essbee did it just says graco products made in the states.

I've just bought a second hand graco travel system, just wondering if its effected

Absolutely, lockets.

ive just Emailed them as i have first class car seat and want to know if thats safe as cant find it on list???

bloody shocking!!

OMG. I'd decided on a Graco pram but quietly yearned for M&P. Thank God my hormones took over and I thought sod the money and got M&P

This is disgusting! I can't believe they were only fined! Sound as though the management should be locked up for manslaughter at the very least by now. Why should a company get away with killing?

Very shocked to read that they class the safety notice regarding the swings as a potential problem ! They then go one to say that six LO's have already died and an additional 209 incidents have occured. (That they know of.)

Potential problem, my arse.

shit ive just bought dd a stage 3 graco car seat are they affected ?

anyone??/
