Chairs For Kids

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.

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.

From now through February 20, customers can bring in their used cribs, strollers, high chairs and play pens among other baby items.

In exchange, parents will get a 25 percent discount on a new purchase of any new baby product that qualifies.

Going by the first event held, customers traded in tens of thousands of unsafe baby products during last year’s Great Trade-In event.

Used car seats were the item most-frequently traded in and the item most-frequently purchased with the discounts.

Eddie Bauer, Evenflo, Graco and Jeep are all brands that are participating in the event.
