There’s been a somewhat disturbing trend going on around the world these days. What not the recent recalls we’ve heard in the automotive industry, now even chairs for kids are being recalled due to safety issues.
Here’s another important piece of news I’d like to share with fellow parents. Britax Blink Stroller chairs for kids are currently being recalled due to concerns with their hinge mechanism.
So far, 15,000 of their “Blink” umbrella strollers have been recalled due to possible fingertip amputation hazards when the stroller is being opened of closed.
I’ve also highlighted in the past that Graco and MacLaren had also initiated their own stroller recalls due to hinge safety issues as well. Most of the strollers available in the market have similar hinge designs so it’s not surprising that more recalls are taking place.
All Britax Blink strollers are included in the recall. The model numbers found on these strollers are U261813, U261814, U261815, U261816, U261817, U271813, U271817 and U271815 which were manufactured between May and September 2009.
Parents are advised to stop using the recalled strollers and contact Britax to receive free stroller hinge covers.

Whether you are a new mom-to-be looking for a glider to add that finishing touch to the nursery or a proud parent who wants a special chairs for kids just for your little one, Little Castle has a wide array of options to meet nearly any design choice.
Our most favoured toy store retailer Toys R Us is urging customers to turn in potentially unsafe children’s products, as it launches its second “Great Trade-In” event.
As a personal preference, I’ve always like buying chairs for kids that are simple, modern and elegant at the same time. This rocker which I recently found fits just what my dearest daughter would want.
