Reason for Recall

The opening between the grab bar and seat bottom of the stroller can allow an infant's body to pass through and become entrapped at the neck by the grab bar, posing a strangulation hazard to young children when a child is not harnessed. When using a stroller, parents and caregivers are encouraged always to secure children by using the safety harness and never to leave them unattended.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately remove the grab bar from the stroller and contact Valco Baby to receive a free replacement grab bar.
