Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20121206-4A497-2147461270. Matched catalog product: Uppababy 2017 Uppababy Cruz. Model Number 0417-CRZ-US. Source model text: Vista 2011. Incident: On 09/19/12 I went to the the zoo with my son and fiance. My son was on the stroller strapped, when all of a sudden the stroller collapses. I have never seen a stroller do that in my life and I fortunately quickly reacted and caught my son with the seat. The stroller is an Uppa Baby Vista. I contacted Uppa baby and they sent me a new frame since my stroller was still under warranty. They said they had never had any problems like this with any of their strollers. They asked me to send them a picture, but of course I didn't have time to take pictures as I quickly held my son with the seat and my fiance picked up the stroller and put it back in place. It snapped right back in. The stroller has a seat that detaches and reclines. At the time it happened the seat was in it's upright position so when the stroller collapse I grabbed the seat and that made the fall much smoother that my son didn't feel a thing.
