Britax Strollers Recalled For Fall Hazard

Britax has recalled two stroller models with "click & go" receivers because a damaged mount on the stroller can cause the car seat to disengage and fall unexpectedly, posing a fall hazard to infants in the seat, according to the Consumer Protection Safety Commission.

The company has received 33 reports of car seats unexpectedly disconnecting from strollers and falling to the ground, resulting in 26 reports of injuries to children. Britax is also aware of 1,337 reports of strollers with damaged received mounts.

Britaz B-Aglie and BOB Motion strollers are subject to the recall. The recall involves the two models when they are used as a travel system with a car seat carrier attached.

"All models are folding, single or double occupant strollers and have Click & Go receiver mounts that attach the car seat carrier to the stroller frame," the CPSC said.

The following model numbers are included in the recall:

Consumers should stop using the received mounts and contact Britax for a free repair kit for single strollers. Owners of recalled double strollers should stop using them with car seats attached. Consumers can continue to use strollers or car seat independently without the car seat attached to the stroller.

The strollers are sold at Babies R Us, buy buy Baby, Target and other stores nationwide, and online at Amazon.com, albeebaby.com, buybuybaby.com, diapers.com, ToysRUs.com and other websites from May 2011 through February 2017.
