Why was the Mockingbird Stroller Recalled?

The stroller frame is faulty. Epically faulty. The base of the frame has been known to crack in half and become immediately disassembled while children have been in their seats.

Where were the strollers in the recalled sold at?

The Mockingbird Double Stroller recall includes strollers that could have been purchased at Target, online on their site hellomockingbird.com, through babylist.com, and goodbuygear.com, as well as target.com from March 2020 to September 2022.

The Mockingbird Strollers involved in the recall could have also been bought second hand and if the user did not re-register it in their name, they may not receive word directly from the company, so we kindly ask that you share this article with ANYONE that can benefit from knowing about it.

As of March 17, 2023, Mockingbird has decided to extend this recall to Single Strollers as well. This issue is very rare. It has only been reported in 0.05% of Single Strollers included in this recall. No injuries have been reported and even the smallest possibility of an issue is preventable by installing the free Frame Reinforcement Kit. This kit has been reviewed for effectiveness and approved by The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission as the official solution for ALL Single and Single-to-double Stroller customers.

Mockingbird is informing families who have strollers with the specific lot numbers of 20091 to 22602 listed on the label to immediately stop using the frame until their receive a frame reinforcement kit which apparently includes to frame clamps to secure the stroller.
