 If you drive or operate a baby carriage or stroller, here's some good news. To prevent injuries and keep kids safe, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has approved a new federal safety standard for strollers and carriages that becomes effective September 10, 2015. CPSC has recalled a number of stroller models in the past few years and received about 1,300 incident reports related to strollers between January 2008 and June 2013. That's about five per week. Four of those 1,300 reports tragically involved a fatality. The new U.S. safety standard addresses hazards like these, head entrapments associated with multi-position adjustable grab bars in front of the child's seat, fold up stroller hinges that pinch and cut arms, and even amputated fingers. Seat belt restraint issues like a child unbuckling the restraint or a braking or detaching which can result in falls. Broken and detached wheels aren't just a nuisance, they're a safety issue now included in the standard. Parking brake failures that allow strollers to roll away from you into dangerous situations, along with latch and lock mechanism failures. The new standard also addresses other hazards with the goal of making baby carriages and strollers safer.
