Picture of the MacLaren HINGE COVER!!


Here's the HINGE COVER!!!
The repair kit provides hinge covers for each side of the stroller
which would restrict access to the hinges.
The stroller will remain fully functional with the hinge cover attached

I have yet to get feedback whether this involves the MacLarens that are sold here
It was stated though that models in UK were not affected
In the the announcement of the CPSC only those distributed by Maclaren USA.inc
But manufactured in CHINA!?
So where does that leaves us??
xox
LATEST DEVELOPMENT!!!
All MacLaren strollers worldwide are involved!!!
In fact ANY FOLDING STROLLER WITH A HINGE
is prone to the same risk of pinching
