Do you own a Maclaren stroller?
If you do, you’ll want to check out this recall issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

I can’t encourage parents enough to sign up to get recall alerts emailed to them. Since my son was born, 5 items we were using, including a carseat, were recalled.
