I have a problem with my Graco stroller. The straps, which secure my children, do not move. I cannot make them bigger and the opening in which the child's feet go is not big enough for me to get them in and out safely and easily.
The stroller is going on 6 months old. When I tested it the kids were smaller and I had no reason to think that it would become a problem.
I called Babies R Usand talked to a customer service representative, Karen, I told her I was having some problems with the stroller, it was 5 months old and could I bring it in to exchange it for a different kind.
She asked me if I had the receipt, I said yes, she said no problem, come on in and a specialist from that department would help me find a new stroller that best suits my needs.
I arrived at the store and the manager, Adam spoke to me I told him the problems and he himself tried to adjust the straps and could not.
He told me that he could not exchange the stroller for it was after the 90-day return period and all he could do was call Graco, which he tried and could not get thru and told me to call them when they got back from lunch.
He said Graco would not take the stroller back for credit because of the 90-day period and it was not a resellable item.
When I called Graco they told me that this is a design problem and not defective. She could send me a new seat. The straps are all the same and there is a 5-inch opening for the child to get her feet through which should be enough space.
