Oh, that's no good. They didn't specify HOW to remove the
child. Cable hoist? Block and tackle? 15 gal shop vac? Food processor? Hobart mixer? How will we ever know? -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "mm" wrote in message ...

No explanation as to why. I have to confess to be one of those folks who broke that rule frequently 25 yrs or so ago. Baby is sleeping- so it is much easier to hold the top of the handles while 'breaking' the bar that holds them apart with the other hand while baby still sleeps in the stroller. There was a button that needed to be pressed to unlock the bar. Once you raised the center a bit,it would stay unlocked. Then hold the baby in one arm, and while holding the handle in the same hand as your bag of groceries, [the same side that is holding the bag of baby-crap like bottles, diapers, etc] your knee can push that bar up to finish folding the stroller. I hope they are better designed today- but I can see how a company might want to cover their ass by telling folks to do it differently. Jim |

-snip- Yes, that is a good one. One of my favs was on the insert in a box of roofing nails. I've posted it here before. Good opportunity to dust off. http://oi54.tinypic.com/29ll7k8.jpg I don't get it. Are they saying 'no nailguns' or 'no hammers' -- or 'only use on roofs'? EG Jim |

You mean that I didn't have to keep buying bigger vehicles to fit those full size strollers in? That double stroller was huge! I think they make folding double stollers. * Umbrella style.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I was kidding about needing the bigger vehicles. Actually we did have a folding double, but it wasn't an umbrella type. It was a double "long" as opposed to a side by side and each seat reclined. I think it cost me over $200 and that was 18 years ago. But think how much your kids have cost you since! Something like this: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...uctId=10758729 Looks like a tank. It would be great for running down little children. |
