Mclaren Buggies.
Discussion
watching the news and surprise suprise parents are now sueing for damaged fingers on kids. Now having seen the film of how it happens and whilst having sympathy for the kids hurt, it is the parents fault. They have tried to erect the buggy whilst the kids have stuck their fingers in the mechanisum, if they took a second to check it would not have happened. One of the experts involved said it was because the warning sign was too small. Now I may be wrong but if they don't see a kid with the finger stuck down a tube when they erect the buggy how big would the sign need to be. And out of the thousands that have been sold less than 15 injuries in this country, all the others manage to use them properly so how come they cannot.
I think it said it all that they were issuing recalls in America but not here.
Quite how it is the manufacturer's fault that your little darling stuck his fingers in the buggy when you were closing it is beyond me. Just another erosion of personal responsibility in the age of entitlement.

Car doors are a f
king bad design, no warning signs anywhere that you could trap your finger in one!!!! Come on, it's a folding device, common sense(oh, there is the problem!) would dictate keep the kid out of the way while unfolding it. It really isn't hard. The world went mad when knifes starting having "warning, sharp blade" stuck on them. Sue sue sue, horrible American desease that is getting just as bad here.

At which point did a hinge become not something you could trap your fingers in? Whether it's on a house door, car door, cupboard door or buggy? Absolutely ridiculous, watch your children and don't let them fold up the buggy!!
