[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 26488, member: 148"] I know most of you probably know but because this just actually happened up here I would like to be the nagging grandfather. The baby strollers with the big wheels (like the one we are getting our daughter for her 2 babies) are designed for jogging and therefore roll very easily. Also as they have wind flaps and shade covers they can catch the wind and propel themselves. Today a 2 year-old toddler was strapped in his stroller and his grandfather let go of it. The wind got a hold of it and blew it off a pier into 10' of zero visibility water. The boy was under water for about 15 minutes and is not doing well at all and prospects look bleak. SO, if you use the stroller on a hard flat surface please hold onto it and use the brake (if it has one) when you let go. https://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/903025,lake041808.article So far last word is Grandpa is in fair condition and the toddler is stillin critical condition.
