A person who said he works as a sales
associate at a Babies R Us store sent us this email about Evenflo
strollers:

Evenflo should get a F-
next time. They have made some improvements on the new line but it still lacks
quality “big time.” BRU issued a stop sale on the 1st edition of the new line.

When we asked what a “stop
sale” was and which strollers, we got this
response:

It was almost the entire
new line they just put out about 6 months ago. The Ellipsa—everything except
the Aura. When we got it in I looked at it and said “RECALL”. The front tray was
very shaky with the carseat attached. The plastic in the car seat was very thin
and the padding was sparse. Everything about it was just
cheap.

Stop
sales don’t happen very often. This was because of quality issues. The travel
system and the double stroller were the ones effected.


Also any
good BRU associate will tell you that Eddie Bauer is terrible. I personally know
that 42 of the 3-n-1 Boosters had issues. I know because I broke them. When
reclined, if you push down, sometimes lightly, the booster seat crashed to the
up-right position. However it would not lock in any position after that. I
called Safety 1st (haha) and they said that it was not a safety issue. BUT they
would be sending 42 replacements to those stores, and picking up the broken
ones. They came with their own truck to get them. If the seat breaks from
correctly installing them….how is that not safety
related?

On
a final note, PLEASE inform your readers that they can not put a baby in a
booster seat. No one wants to buy an expensive seat, no one wants to buy three
seats. But putting a baby that is too big for its infant seat into a booster
seat…well that just makes me hate my job! I see it all the time.
