The recalled strollers include the Britax B-Agile and BOB Motion models. The recall covers 676,000 units sold in the U.S. and 41,000 sold in Mexico and Canada.
According to the recall announcement, the recalled strollers are “folding, single or double occupant strollers and have Click & Go receiver mounts that attach the car seat carrier to the stroller frame.” Owners of the recalled strollers can find the model numbers for the single strollers on the inside of the metal frame near the right rear wheel; the numbers for the double strollers are located on the underside of the frame in the front middle section.
A detailed list of the recalled strollers is available on both the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) website or on Britax’ recall website.
The recalled strollers were sold at a variety of stores nationwide as well as through online retailers. They include:
- Buy Buy Baby
- Target
- Babies R Us
- Amazon.com
- Albeebaby.com
- Buybuybaby.com
- ToyRUs.com
The recalled strollers were sold from May 2011 through February 2017.
Britax advised consumers that “You can continue to safely use your stroller in the fully reclined mode for an infant, without the car seat attached to the stroller.” You can also safely continue to use the car seat in your vehicle.
Britax will provide a free replacement kit and advises consumers to throw away the existing Click & Go receiver mounts. If you have one of the recalled strollers, you can reach Britax at 1-844-227-0300, Monday through Friday from 8:30AM to 7PM and Saturday from 9AM to 3PM.
