Registering a Pushchair Sale

Safety

Even if the baby's equipment was used for only several months, it could still be risky. Secondhand items are not required to be registered with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, unlike new items. There's no way of knowing whether a product has been recalled. Recalls can happen for various reasons, including defects in design or failure by a manufacturer to conform to federal standards. If you purchase a brand new stroller, however you'll have the option to register it and be informed of any recalls that may occur.

This rule implements a normative standard that is required for strollers and Stroller and Pushchair other carriages in accordance with Section 104 of the Danny Keysar Act on Child Product Safety Notifications as modified by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008(CPSIA). It incorporates by reference to the most current voluntary standard created by the American Society for Best Travel Pushchair Testing and Materials (ASTM), affordable pushchairs ASTM F833-13b. It also specifies requirements and test methods that reduce the risk posed by these products. CPSC staff worked closely with ASTM stakeholders to develop this standard.
