The product, in the report: Kelty double stroller

I was using the Kelty double stroller to push my 3 year old and 10 month old. They were sitting in it with it locked and set up properly and all of a sudden the yellow lock tab snapped and the kids fell to the ground (still buckled in) very hard and fast. Thankfully, we were on grass. I’d like the stroller to be fixed.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(6/7/2017) American Recreation Products, Inc.: Kelty has conducted careful review of the Stroller incident report dated 05/12/2017 and determined the original manufacture date occurred in 2008. We contacted the consumer, and were advised the Stroller involved in incident had been acquired from a garage-sale transaction as second-hand merchandise. The location of purchase, chain of ownership and conditions of handling and storage of the stroller are unknown. The Stroller features multiple locking devices to secure the opened Stroller: A yellow locking tab on right and left side of Stroller, plus two sliding aluminum brackets, one on each side, which prevents folding of the lower portion of frame when engaged properly. Discussions with the consumer have suggested a blanket positioned beneath the children may have prevented one or more locking devices from being properly engaged. This interference of the blanket with the engagement of the locking devices is determined to be the reasonable conclusion for the described event. Even though the Kelty product warranty was voided since Stroller was second-hand merchandise and consumer who reported the incident was not the original Stroller owner, we have come to a reasonable resolution in good faith, and the consumer was satisfied. Consumer has again confirmed that no injuries resulted from this incident. Kelty takes all incident reports very seriously, and product safety is a foremost priority of the company.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(5/27/2014) American Recreation Products, Inc.: In regard to incident report dated 04/29/2014, Kelty has contacted the consumer, reimbursed full purchase price for original stroller, and provided a new stroller with complete assembly instructions. Kelty previously authorized a voluntary recall for Kelty Swivel Deluxe and Kelty Swivel Deuce Jogging Strollers, dated February 23, 2012, inclusive of the stroller involved in the 04/29/2014 incident. Due to potential hazard of swivel wheel disengaging if not installed properly, updated assembly instructions were provided to Jogging Stroller owners in 2012. These instructions enabled Kelty Swivel Wheel Stroller owners to properly install the front wheel, to avoid loosening. A properly assembled swivel wheel stroller is safe for walking and running.

The product, in the report: Kelty single jogging stroller

front wheel came off my stroller- thought maybe it was something I did wrong and didn’t report it but my sister in law just sent me a recall and felt I should report this. had my 3 yr. old in the stroller and sadly unstrapped, but felt after the fact that it was better. Picked my kindergartener up at school and he ran ahead of us. At the same time the 3 yr old dropped a toy so I went back to pick it up and ran as fast as I could/full force to catch up to my 5 yr old. The front wheel came off and I soared in the air over the stroller from the front spoke catching the sidewalk. My 3 yr. old son somehow did not sustain any injuries. I’m not sure why, but I don’t think being strapped in or not strapped in would have made a difference or I felt that strapped in would have made him more trapped and injured. I was shocked at the time. I was in front of our school but buses all across the street and somehow a father saw what happened from across the street, between the buses and helped me and put the wheel back on while I checked my 3 yr old son. Thank gosh my 5 yr old stopped at the end of the block and just waited for us. However and very honestly there was not a part of my body that was not injured. In retrospect I probably should have at least saw my dr. to check me out. I felt as I had been in car wreck if that’s what one felt like. I had bruises all over my body. In particular I ended up with one on my leg that remained a huge bump for at least 2 months and was tender to touch. I should have seen a dr, but never did. Again- I landed over the stroller, ahead of it and the 3 yr old I don’t think even had a scratch, but it was by far the most injured I’ve ever gotten beside a broken bone.
However, I believe my stroller could have been from 2009
