Putting On The Brakes

I hope this article will be a reminder to all parents and caregivers, how important it is to utilize all the safety features provided on your baby stroller, specifically the dual lock brake system.

It is so easy to become distracted when you are out with the baby in the stroller, but remember, before you release both hands from the baby stroller handles, take the few extra seconds and lock the brakes.

Stroller manufacturers even go as far as stating if the stroller is not in motion, lock the brakes and never leave your child unattended.

Strollers today are made to be practical and the manufacturers put a lot of focus on accommodating the parents and protecting the baby with easy-to-use, safety features like the seat belt restraint system, wide base to prevent tipping and the dual lock brake system.

The particular safety feature, dual lock brakes, means both back wheels lock in place individually. Two separate brakes so if one brake is accidentally released or malfunctions, the other working brake is still locked.

To lock the brakes on most baby strollers is an effortless task that takes just a few seconds to do. You just simply press your foot down on a plastic tab or lever located in the back of the stroller, above both back wheels. By setting the lever in the lock position, it puts weight on the back wheels making it difficult for the stroller to roll.

Now this does not mean your baby stroller is bolted to the ground and will not move. If the stroller is parked on an incline or forcibly pushed, it can still move. And for that reason, you should always stay close by and never leave you child unattended while in the stroller.
