SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170301-4D989-2147405597. Matched catalog product: Britax B-FREE STROLLER U741900. Source model text: B-Agile Stroller. Incident: On 8-27-2016, me, my wife, and 4-mo-old baby flew Southwest Airlines from San Diego to Sacramento and brought my new Britax B-Agile travel system to check-in at the gate. After leaving the Sacramento airport, I noticed the two click & go receiver clips were missing and lost from the stroller. Upon closer inspection, a piece of the stroller plastic that holds the receiver clips has broken off. This posed a risk of harm to my baby.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 28, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — SaferProducts.gov incident

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120906-12B6B-2147463987. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Matched catalog product: Britax B-FREE STROLLER U741900. Source model text: B-Agile Stroller. Incident: Today in a store my five month old son was strapped in tightly into his stroller. We were standing in line and my daughter was standing in front of the stroller playing with my son when it tipped over. Because he was tightly strapped in he did not fall out of the stroller but hit his head on the inside side. This is not the first time the stroller has tipped easily but it is the first time it has tipped over with him inside of it. It was a light bump from my daughter that knocked it over and I would expect that a stroller should be able to withstand a light bump without falling over.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 28, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — SaferProducts.gov incident

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20180425-4B8DC-2147388360. Severity: Injury, Level of care not known. Matched catalog product: Britax B-FREE STROLLER U741900. Incident: My daughter wanted to accompany me on a run, not the first time but rather a habit. I proceeded to check the tire pressure and fill up the tires to the recommended PSI and check the hardware and straps to ensure everything was in working order and safe for both of us. We were well on our way and a mile into the run the front wheel shook for a monment then the next moment I fell forward due to the stroller wheel coming out of place and my child was face down in the stroller, on the ground. We both where horrified and as a parent I lost any confidence that BobJ Jogging stroller was a trusted product to have my child in. I expected more from a highe end stroller and now face a long road ahead as a military member of not being able to use a vital tool for the maintaining of mandatory level of acceptable fitness. Thank you for fielding my concerns

Baby Strollers (1522)

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 28, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — SaferProducts.gov incident

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20161004-E04CF-2147412359. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Britax B-FREE STROLLER U741900. Source model text: Affinity. Incident: I was pushing my 1 year old daughter (24 lbs) in a store on 10/02/16 when she reached from her Britax Affinity stroller for something to the left in front of her. Despite checking that both sides of the the seat were indeed inserted properly when I placed her in seat, the right side of the seat came out of the adapter site and the seat and my daughter nearly fell. I snapped it back in, thinking it just didn't snap securely the first time. We finished our shopping trip and my older daughter leaned on the foot rest briefly, again causing the seat to come loose. At that point, I became very concerned and put my daughter into the car. I snapped the seat back in again, but as I loaded the stroller into the car, the seat again came off. The engagement of the seat seems loose and unsafe for use. I feel my daughter could fall if we continue use of this stroller. The stroller is the Britax Affinity purchased in 2014.

Electrical shock / short

Baby Strollers (1522)

3 months

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 16, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — SaferProducts.gov incident

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20210621-18CA8-2147363390. Severity: Injury, Seen by Medical Professional. Product: Britax B-FREE STROLLER U741900 (Britax b free stoller in black. The car seat used is the britax endeavor.). Incident: While using a britax b free stroller with the endeavor carseat. The car seat became detached from the stroller when the release lever was not being pressed. This incident required medical attention for my child. The issue is the intermediate bracket that connects the car seat to the stroller. The stroller side of this bracket is not strong enough to keep the car seat attached. The product seems to be factory spec with no noticeable defects and the part did not crack when this incident happened. The issue can be replicated (without my child in the car seat of course) by simply pulling on the car seat and it pops right off the stroller. Pulling on the car seat is the easiest way to demonstrate the problem. However, it was a small shock from the front wheel hitting a step that causes the car seat to fall off during this incident. I suspect that any incident that causes the stroller to stop rapidly could also cause this issue such as jogging, going down steps, avoiding an object.
