Free Stroller for every finger amputation!

Seriously? Personal responsibility is truly dead.

Newsflash: Folding frames can create pinch points. Keep your fingers out of the pinch points. Film at 11.

Why would I make a stroller out of a child?

Obvious

I'm barely 32 and to look at the stroller that I rode in as a kid is scary. Now though, these things are a bit out of hand. You can amost get a small ATV for the price of these mini SUV's for toddlers.

Actually losing a finger!! Ouch!! Just think how this childs life will be limited in the future. The ability to write easily could be messed up. And what if it was the thumb! Thats even worse. Not to mention little Billy when he's of age won't be able to please the ladies quite so easily now will he...

It's a euphemism. Like "streetwalker". It means pimping them out. For the cash money.

Oh shut the fark up. All's it takes is wrapping around padded material around the joints by the company. But most companies make things so god damned cheaply now, I'm surpirsed they included the seat.

/At least in China , they'd behead the mother farkers who designed it.

The stroller we just bought listed for more than my first car.

However, we bought a brand new holdover model for a substantial discount. Why people care about having the 2012 versus the 2011, essentially the exact same one as the year before, I don't know.

Beat me to it! I just saw that movie over the weekend, and that's the first thing I thought of.

they have 9 other fingers what is the big deal

Lots of people are incensed that this is an issue. Here's the reality: kids do the damnedest things and the introducction of spring actions etc that assist you when they work well are potentially dangerous when they don't. That little "snap" that tells you you've got the thing secured into the locked position? That's a spring.

Now being a dad, I'll tell you that there are two kinds of fold up strollers - cheap and not so cheap. The cheap ones are like the ones they had forever and are built like an umbrella. Like an umbrella, they are light, simple and break pretty easily. That's why there is the other kind of stroller which is much more substantial and looks over-engineered. Some of them are over engineered, but if you've ever been hurrying to catch a light and divit yourself into a crack in the pavement, trashing your cheep stroller and rolling your kid and all his junk into the middle of a street like I have, you'd understand why people built the more substantial stroller. On a side note, dumping your kid face first in the middle of the street on a yellow does not make you father of the year, just so we're clear.

We have a BOB stroller and I know people hate us.

Those evil companies again! Making stuff at price points, sizes, styles, and weights that people want. Kill them! Evil rich corporate bastards in their big corporation buildings acting all corporatey.

looks like a nice stroller. probably get a good price on that now.

I can't put my finger (no pun intended) on it but that image really disturbs me for some reason...

Some humans don't have the intelligence to properly operate a stroller without losing digits? Now I understand why we don't have a space program anymore.... who would possibly be able to run it? They wouldn't be able to operate the doorknob to get into the building.

Years ago, the Walmart I worked for had to pay out a substantial amount to a woman who's kid lost the first section of a finger in a stroller. Sad? Very sad.... considering the woman bought the stroller, refused assembly by Walmart... choosing to put it together herself.... AND admitted, contrary to the numerous safety stickers on the stroller and the box, that she let her two small children play with the stroller unsupervised. One was in the stroller while the other one pushed him around at high speeds. Being a stroller that would fold down to fit in a car, it had a button which would allow it to collapse down. The kid pushing it hit the button catching the passenger's finger in the hinge area.

She sued Walmart because "we had the money". Sure, corporate has a lot of money, but each store pays out the smaller cases like this. The anticipated profit-sharing checks (read: Xmas gift money for employee's kids) were quite a bit smaller that year.

There IS no personal responsibility anymore.

Gaseous Anomaly: Warning: Remove Child Before Folding

Also: unfold completely before inserting child.

Yes, I know that they're squirrely and can get into every little thing. I have three kids under five years of age... I understand fully their capabilities and proclivities.

plewis: you'd understand why people built the more substantial stroller.

We got a Maclaren hand-me-down from a friend that just kicks total stroller ass... there really is an enormous difference in strollers in terms of engineering and construction. Actually that model was previously in a "finger amputation" scare that never made any sense to me either.

Why is this being recalled? Are parents trying to fold up the strollers with the kid still inside?

But if you make adult strollers, who cares about amputations?

To be fair, I hated you before I knew what kind of stroller you have.

/i keed

wtf... necro-thread time already?

We did this LAST DECADE... jesus you people have short memories.

farking giant SUV strollers... last time i went to the zoo it was unbearable. Lady, your kid is bigger and older looking than my 5yo nephew here, make his fatass walk and quit blocking the door to the reptile house. And you with the toddler, the parking lot is not that far, you dont need a gym duffel sized diaper bag crammed under your huge stroller, get one of those baby backpacks. Or at least move the fark out of the way, your 18mo doesnt care, my nephew wants to see the bats.

+1. When I have a kid they'll get a full set of those.

and making up words is not going to help win you that spelling bee

Still slightly preferable to "finger children" though.

We see you strollin'.

Well, I guess it's not as bad as "Penis amputations". That's a non-starter.
