I bought this set and the straps keep coming loose on the car seat. I have to check it every time I go out and a lot of times put the straps back in the contraption. I just bought it in Oct. 2011.
Consumer Complaints & Reviews
I purchased the Cosco Sprint Travel System in Dec.2010 and my son is now 10 months old. I have never had a single problem with this product. Yeah, the stroller itself needs to be pushed with both hands because if you try with one the stroller decides to go wherever it wants but besides that I loved it. It's so small and compact it fits in the trunk of my C240 with my boyfriend's subwoofer, which practically takes up the entire trunk, no kidding.
On Monday August 1st 2011 me and my 10 month old daughter were walking around down by our price chopper and i was pushing her in my cosco stroller that i have, out of nowhere the stroller broke as if i was to fold it up, when this happened my daughter was sitting in it and her hand got caught in it, her hand got cut and it was twice its size so i took pictures of it and brought her to the doctors luckly its not broken and no serious damage but would like something to be done about this.
Four months ago ,I received a Cosco travel system. I used it for the first time when my son came home in June and the axles are off. When I put him in the car seat and attach it to the stroller, I can barely push it. Even when I use just the stroller itself, the stroller does whatever it wants to. I have no other stroller and I can't use a stroller with wheels all messed up. I push it down the street and the wheels hit the curb, grass, you name it, when the stroller itself is straight. I walk everywhere and I can't not have a stroller. My son has hit his head on the side of it and got bruises and scratches. He has almost fallen out when in the car seat attached to it. The bar has snapped off.
I received a Cosco Emily Collection Baby Travel System as a gift at my baby shower and I have used it a few times and I was pushing it with the car seat attached as you can do and it tipped with my child in it. Thank god she was not hurt but it did scare her! I myself feel this stroller is very unsafe and should be taken off the market.
My mother went to pull our Cosco umbrella stroller out of the trunk and went to pop it open. It must have had her thumb in the hinges because it pinched her so bad that she required 15 stitches in two different locations!
My child was in the stroller and the front right wheel broke off. Luckily my child was not harmed. This stroller was fairly new. I will not buy another Cosco or Geoby product again. That was $50.00 wasted!
I was getting ready to go to a parade. I took out my stroller, put my daughter in, and locked the wheels. I had parked it on the curb which was basically flat. When I turned to put a bag in my car the stroller had rolled just enough forward to fall off the curb and tip over with my daughter still inside. It was on it's side and I had a hard time picking it back up. My daughter recieved a bruise to her face because the bar to the canopy poped out of place and hit her by her eye, ahe also recieved a scrape on her arm, and the handmade blanket she was given when she was born tore because it got caught in the wheel.
I received a Cosco Travel System Baby Stroller as a gift October 2009. The stroller has not been used a lot because the wheel is unsafe. The wheels wobble and one of the wheels in particular is a hazard and has collapsed with my baby in the stroller. My son is now 6 months.
I have a Cosco stroller, the "Emily" edition. I recently have experienced the stroller unlocking and collapsing while I 'm pushing my 8 week old daughter. She was in her car seat strapped in and when it collapsed. I had to take her out and the whole stroller collapsed. She hasn't received any injuries and I will not wait until she does. I'm going to purchase a new stroller, one with a better reputation.
We purchased a Cosco stroller for our child a year ago at Kmart. Because of the Graco stroller recall related to amputation of children's fingers, we recalled the baby crying a few times when we put down the sun shade. When we looked at the hinge and tested it using a piece of carrot, it chopped the tip right off the carrot. We have removed the sun shade to prevent injury to the baby.
I bought a baby stroller 29.99 in which don't roll very well at all and now the so called saftey strap pinched my girls leg bad enough to give a blood blister. I think for 30.00 dollars it shoudln't hurt your child. Saftey is very important but hurting them doing it could be prevented. I have three baby's money is tight and have my kids cry because of some cheap snap giving her a blood blister isn't right sorry I'm so angry but get it right I know theres better snaps out there than that.
blood blister and jolting around because of small whells
stroller collapses and I've only just bought it. the first couple times I thought that I didn't lock it, now I realize that it just doesn't stay locked open. It collapses while I am pushing my son around and is dangerous.
none yet, I won't give it a chance.
We received a Cosco Umbrella stroller as a gift a year ago and began using it about 3 months ago. Today on a walk from the park the stroller collapsed on my 1 year old son and sliced his thumb. As we were a quarter mile from home it was a terrible, bloody, screaming mess. I would not use this product again.
As far as I can tell my son's skin has been sliced off of his thumb completely.
My parents bought me a cosco stroller/ car seat for my baby shower about 2 years ago and we rarely used it but I had my second child in October and we planned on using it for him. This past Sunday we got the car seat out and was just going to put it on top of the stroller to see how it did since we had never used it like that before.Well, it went fine until we were through shopping and was heading back to the vehicle and was going to take the car seat out but we couldnt.
The stroller didnt unlatch at all. We tried for about 30 minutes to get it undone while my son was still in the car seat. We finally just had to take him out of the car seat and put the whole thing attached in the back seat and drive home with it like that.The next day we looked at it and saw that it wasn't unlatching the car seat and wasn't any way for us to use it like that unless the company fixed it since it is obvious it is the manufacturer error.
I have the cosco ride umbrella stroller, which I purchased last year and just started using it this year, being my daughter was too young at the time. I had put my daughter in her car seat than proceeded to fold up the stroller and lift it to put it in the car when the complete stroller closed on both my hands and locked as well. Thank God I had someone there to help it took a good 10 minutes to release the lock which caused numbness and bruised my fingers.
The more we tried to release to open it the tighter it got. I cannot help to think what wouldve happen if my car was running and my daughter was alone and no one there was to help us! Very Scary and very painful
Bruised fingers on both hands as well as numbness for a few days
My mother bought me a Cosco tandem stroller from Target after my 2nd daughter was born. One day, while we were taking a walk, the stroller's left back wheels just popped off. Luckily, she had saved the box, so I returned the stroller to Target, and they gave me a replacement. The model style had changed, but the price was the same. ($89.99) However, now the bars that lock in place seem to be bent, and the stroller won't open or close as normal. As I have read, several people seem to be experiencing these same problems.
Even though I saved the second box, and my receipt, it has been longer than 90 days since my purchase, so if I return the stroller to Target, I will only get 25% of what the stroller actually cost. Target no longer sells that stroller, and they can only give me the lowest clearance price in their computers ($21.24). I want to trade it in for a different brand, because I no longer trust Cosco. There is no use contacting the manufacturer, because from what I have read, they are unhelpful.
We bought our son a umbrella stroller to match his playpen however the third time we used it he was able to push down on the foot rest strap hard enough to tear it loose from the frame. I assumed it was just a simple repair, however the company told me that it was impossible for that to have happened and informed me that they don't carry the strap as a replacement part! Now the stroller is of no use and my sons shoes are ruined as well from dragging on the cement!
We had to stop using the stroller because his feet get stuck underneath it.
I've had my Cosco stroller for about 2.5 years..... it's been really good. It was purchased at Walmart in Jan of 2003. Just today as I was walking home from school with my daughter (now nearly 3) the back wheel popped off. What i thought was popping off seemed to be a clean break with the back rod that holds the 2 back wheels..... it broke inside the wheel holder. There is no chance of fixing it, and replacing the stroller is next to not going to happen. I am a single parent and a student, i cannot afford to fork out another $180.00 for a stroller. I am unable to even find if it could be covered under warranty...... This is the best site i've found so far as to tell someone what happened....
