MacLaren Buggies have backed down after extreme pressure from the public and are now offering free kits to parents who request them to improve the safety of their prams in line with actions taken in the USA.

"In the last few days, we have heard from hundreds of customers at our call centre and we have been able to reassure them about the quality and safety of our products.  Most parents understand that they have to be vigilant when operating mechanical products around children, similar to the care they show when securing children in cars or protecting them around the home.  We stress that our buggies are completely safe and fully compliant but if parents remain concerned or worried, we urge them to talk to us."

The company has provided a number they can call: 01327 841320.

And now pushchair owners can receive the hinge covers, free of charge, by emailing advice@maclaren.co.uk or calling the company at the above number.
