Where did you find the list?  I think ours is on there, too, but I don't know where the info is listed.

Here is the list:

What I don't understand is that the issue they are stating is the gap between the seat and the tray, and that a baby could scoot down and get their head stuck in between that space.  The recall is to contact them for a repair kit... how are you supposed to repair that issue??  And there were four reports of infant strangulations FIVE+ years ago?  There wouldn't even be an issue if the seatbelt was on the child.

 I was just reading that too, I thought it was odd that the incidents happened so long ago and they are just now getting around to recalling them.

I was just thinking that too.  Honestly why would anyone put an infant into it without a seat belt?  Maybe they were using the bassinet feature?  I don't know.  And I would love to know how we fix it.  I think we are on the list.  The dates are going to be close.  I don't know when ours was manufactured.  It's in the car trunk so I will have to have DH check when he gets home tonight.

Looks like the "repair kit" is just a fabric restraint you attach to the stroller to close the gap between the tray and the seat.  Neat...

So, between the goofy looking fabric covers I had to put over the hinges to prevent severing off my kid's finger and the latest contraption to keep her from suffocating, our awesome stroller is going to look like a homemade arts and crafts project. 

Anyone wanna recommend their NON-Graco stroller??
