Latest Britax Stroller Recall Developments

October 2026

October 28, 2026 – A current status review checked Britax recall listings and available CPSC materials for recall, regulatory, safety, litigation, and settlement developments involving the 2017 Click & Go issue. Britax continues to list the February 2017 B-Agile and BOB Motion stroller recall on its Safety Notices & Recalls page. [1]

The available CPSC record continues to identify the 2017 action as a repair recall involving Click & Go receiver mounts and the risk that an attached infant car seat could fall. Separate CPSC litigation involving Britax BOB jogging strollers concerned a different front-wheel quick-release issue and should not be confused with the Click & Go recall. [2]

February 2017

February 16, 2017 – CPSC recalled about 676,000 Britax B-Agile and BOB Motion strollers in the United States. Approximately 36,400 additional units were sold in Canada and 4,600 in Mexico. [2]

February 16, 2017 – Britax stated that receiver mounts could become damaged if a stroller was dropped or stored with the Click & Go receivers attached. A damaged mount could allow the infant car seat to unexpectedly disengage and fall. [3]

What Is the Britax Stroller Recall?

The recall involves Britax B-Agile and BOB Motion strollers equipped with Click & Go receivers when used as travel systems with infant car seat carriers attached.

The receivers connect a compatible infant car seat to the stroller frame. The specific 2017 hazard involves that attachment system rather than ordinary stroller use without a car seat attached.

What Is Wrong With the Britax Click & Go System?

The Click & Go receiver mount can become damaged and fail to hold the attached infant car seat securely.

If the mount fails, the carrier can disconnect and fall unexpectedly while an infant is inside. CPSC therefore classified the problem as a fall hazard. [2]

How Many Incidents and Injuries Were Reported?

Britax received 33 reports of infant car seats unexpectedly disconnecting from the stroller and falling to the ground. CPSC reported 26 child injuries, including scratches, bruises, cuts, and bumps to the head. [2]

Britax also received 1,337 reports of damaged Click & Go receiver mounts. Those reports are separate from the 33 incidents in which attached car seats actually disconnected and fell.

Which Britax Strollers Were Recalled?

The recall covers affected models in several stroller families:

• Britax B-Agile single strollers
• Britax B-Agile Double strollers
• Britax B-Agile 4 strollers
• BOB Motion strollers

All colors of affected models were included. CPSC provides the complete list of recalled model numbers in its February 2017 recall notice. [2]

Where Is the Stroller Model Number?

On single strollers, the model number is located on the inside of the metal frame near the right rear wheel.

On double strollers, CPSC states that the model number can be found on the front middle underside of the frame.

Where Were the Recalled Strollers Sold?

The products were sold at Babies R Us, buybuy Baby, Target, and other stores nationwide.

They were also sold through Amazon.com, albeebaby.com, buybuybaby.com, diapers.com, ToysRUs.com, and other online retailers from May 2011 through February 2017 for approximately $250 to $470. [2]

What Was the Britax Stroller Recall Remedy?

CPSC instructed consumers to stop using affected Click & Go receivers to attach an infant car seat to a recalled stroller.

Owners of affected single strollers were offered a free repair kit. Consumers could continue using the stroller and infant car seat independently without attaching the car seat to the stroller.

Owners of affected double strollers were instructed not to use the stroller with an infant car seat attached.

Can a Recalled Britax Stroller Still Be Used?

The 2017 hazard concerns the travel-system configuration in which an infant carrier is attached through the Click & Go receivers.

CPSC stated that the stroller and infant car seat could continue to be used independently. Owners should follow Britax’s specific recall instructions before resuming travel-system use.

Was There Another Britax Stroller Recall?

Yes. In January 2014, Britax recalled about 216,000 B-Agile, B-Agile Double, and BOB Motion strollers in the United States because the folding hinge could injure an adult’s fingers.

Britax received eight incident reports, including one partial fingertip amputation, one broken finger, and severe finger lacerations. That 2014 hinge recall involved a different defect from the 2017 Click & Go fall hazard. [4]

Was There Separate Britax BOB Stroller Litigation?

Yes, but it involved a different stroller safety issue.

CPSC filed an administrative complaint involving certain BOB jogging strollers and allegations that the front-wheel quick-release mechanism could allow the wheel to detach during use. CPSC and Britax later resolved that proceeding through a consent agreement. [5]

That proceeding should not be treated as litigation over the 2017 Click & Go receiver recall.

Who May Be Affected by the Britax Stroller Recall?

Parents and caregivers who used an affected B-Agile or BOB Motion stroller with an infant car seat attached may have been exposed to the recalled condition.

Families whose carrier disconnected, fell, or showed signs of a damaged receiver mount may want to preserve the stroller, receiver components, car seat, photographs, purchase records, and medical documentation.

What Evidence May Matter in a Britax Stroller Claim?

• The recalled stroller and Click & Go receivers
• The infant car seat involved in the incident
• Model and manufacturing information
• Purchase or product-registration records
• Photographs of damaged receiver mounts
• Witness statements or incident photographs
• Medical records documenting the child’s injuries
• Communications with Britax or the retailer

The evidence required depends on the circumstances, alleged defect, injury, causation, and applicable state law.

Who May Be Liable for a Britax Stroller Injury?

Potential liability depends on the facts of an individual incident. Manufacturers, importers, distributors, retailers, or other parties involved in placing the stroller into commerce could potentially be evaluated.

Possible claims may involve defective design, manufacturing defect, failure to warn, negligence, breach of warranty, or other theories recognized under state law. The recall does not automatically establish liability for a particular injury.

Do I Qualify for a Britax Stroller Claim?

• Was your child’s stroller an affected B-Agile or BOB Motion model with Click & Go receivers?
• Did the attached infant car seat disconnect, fall, or become unstable?
• Did your child suffer a medically documented injury?
• Can you preserve or identify the stroller, receivers, car seat, or incident records?

Answering yes to one or more questions does not automatically establish a lawsuit. An attorney can evaluate product identification, the alleged receiver failure, injury, causation, damages, and applicable filing deadlines.

Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
