To check a stroller for recalls, find the model number and date of manufacture on its label, often on the frame near the wheels or on the seat back, and search the brand plus “stroller” at cpsc.gov/Recalls. Check a travel system’s car seat with NHTSA. Strollers were recalled 28 times from 2016 to 2025, mostly for falls.

CPSC lists strollers among the recalled products it most often finds being resold online, so the label check matters more than the brand name. Two strollers that look alike can sit on either side of a recall’s date range.

What does the stroller standard cover?

Strollers and carriages must meet a mandatory federal standard, 16 CFR part 1227. CPSC says it addresses “finger entrapments or amputations from hinge closures, falls from tip-overs or harness/handlebar failures, and other various injuries resulting from failures in the braking or locking mechanisms.” CPSC also lists carriages and strollers among the recalled products it most often finds being resold online.

Recent stroller recalls, in CPSC’s words

About this table

Copied from CPSC’s recall records: product, hazard and remedy type exactly as CPSC published them. It is a snapshot, not a full list; search cpsc.gov/Recalls for every stroller recall.

Recall date Product Hazard, as CPSC states it Remedy
Nov. 20, 2025 4-in-1 Baby Safety Cart Carriage The stroller violates the mandatory standard for strollers because the restraint system can fail, posing a risk of serious injury or deadly fall hazard. Refund
Nov. 14, 2024 YOYO³ strollers The parking brake on the recalled strollers can disengage, posing an injury hazard. Refund
Nov. 7, 2024 Guava Roam Strollers The stroller’s brakes can fail to engage or unexpectedly disengage, posing fall and injury hazards to children. Repair
Dec. 7, 2023 Bugaboo Dragonfly Seat Strollers In “parent-facing” mode, the backrest of the seat can move downward, placing the infant in a negative recline. In this situation, an unrestrained infant could tumble from the seat, posing an injury hazard. Repair
March 17, 2023 Mockingbird Single Strollers The lower side of the stroller frame can crack, posing a fall risk to children in the stroller. Repair

Each notice lists the affected models and production dates. Open it and compare them with your stroller’s label before deciding anything.

Where is the model number on a stroller?

Stroller notices usually say where to look. Britax’s January 21, 2016 notice put the model number and date of manufacture “on a label on the stroller’s frame between the front wheels or on the inside frame that connects to the back right wheel.” Other notices pointed to the back of the seat or the inside of the frame by a rear wheel.

Check the frame near each wheel, the back and underside of the seat, and the basket area. Where to find the model number has more examples from CPSC notices.

What the stroller recalls had in common

In our count of the 28 CPSC stroller and carriage recalls from 2016 to 2025, the hazard statement named a fall in 20, choking in 4 and laceration, pinch or amputation in 3. Brakes, cracked frames, failing restraints and seats that could shift recur in the notices above. A repair was the remedy in 15 of the 28. The five that said the stroller violated the federal standard and offered a refund only were all announced from 2020 on. Recall remedies explains the difference.

Travel systems and secondhand strollers

A travel system’s infant car seat is an NHTSA product: check it at nhtsa.gov/recalls and see car seat recalls. For a used stroller, the label and the recall check come first; buying used baby gear has the full checklist. Back to baby gear recalls.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find out if my stroller has been recalled?

Find the model number and date of manufacture on the stroller's label, then search the brand and 'stroller' at cpsc.gov/Recalls and compare your numbers with each notice. Recall notices often say exactly where on the frame the label is.

What are the most common stroller recall hazards?

In our count of CPSC's 28 stroller and carriage recalls from 2016 to 2025, the hazard statement named a fall in 20, choking in 4 and laceration, pinch or amputation in 3. Brakes, frames, restraints and seats that can shift were among the causes described.

My stroller came with a car seat. Where do I check that?

The infant car seat in a travel system is covered by NHTSA, not CPSC. Check the seat's model number at nhtsa.gov/recalls using the Car Seat tab, and check the stroller at cpsc.gov/Recalls.

Can my baby nap in the stroller?

NIH's Safe to Sleep campaign says not to use sitting devices such as strollers for a baby's regular sleep or naps, and to move a baby who falls asleep in one to their regular sleep space as soon as possible.
