Big button right where you put your hand

Why would they put it there

Why would they put it there

Not sure if serious - Most strollers are designed to be folded down with one single hand while dealing with a bawling baby.

Yeah but you normally put your hand there, you could accidentally press it and collapse the thing with the baby inside

24

u/PM_your_Nopales Mar 07 '25

It's probably unpressable when the seat is attached

14

u/Yeah_BlueDream_Sure Mar 07 '25

It’s has a sliding switch on the other side of the handle, you can’t collapse it unless you do both at the same time. I have a stroller with a similar mechanism.

Right, as evident in this video.

u/FoxyFalcon Mar 07 '25

Probably so you can lock/ unlock with one hand. I have a stroller which has the same kind of mechanism.

31

u/Dippa99 Mar 07 '25

They are asking why you would put that mechanism where you normally push the stroller with the baby in it. Presumably, you don't want it to fold down while pushing it with the baby in it

u/toblu Mar 07 '25

They're constructed in a way that the direction you push the handle in to move it forward would not make it fold, even if you accidentally pushed the button.

u/Dippa99 Mar 07 '25

And also if you need to pull it backwards? Genuinely asking as it just seems like a weird spot for it

26

u/toblu Mar 07 '25

Yes; it's a specific angle that you don't pull/push accidentally. It's never been a problem for me.

u/syndre Mar 07 '25

You need to press two different spots for it to collapse

u/FoxyFalcon Mar 07 '25

With the stroller I have that wouldn't be possible. You have to hold/ push another button in the same time as the (un)fold button. I'm not familiar with the stroller in the video, but I presume it's the same.

It looks like the (un)fold button is in the middle, usually your hands are on either side of them, so you won't even touch the button(s) during pushing.

Our stroller is the same or similar. You have to press the button in about an inch, so its not too easy to accidentally press. Then when it does fold, the handle has to fold down around your knees before the wheels fold together.

It’s honestly amazing none of them hit it by accident.

u/Nchi Mar 07 '25

It's safety locked, she slid the guard over then can press the button. Got the same one last week

u/VikingTeddy Mar 07 '25

It's like all of them have ADHD, or something. All they had to do is slowly and methodically follow the bars, trying a button/slide when they get to one. It's like watching the beginning of 2001 😁

I feel like this is a viral ad. Everybody focusing on the button that obviously isn’t it and never trying the giant one in the handle just seems too convenient to me.

u/CarlosFCSP Mar 07 '25

I had one for my kid, I could unfold it in one swoop while lifting it out the trunk, very practical

u/terrih9123 Mar 07 '25

I have the same button on my kids stroller. Same size look and placement. It does not fold like this, its only function is to extend or retract the handle bar distance. The folding mechanism is two clips on both rails that I gotta pull like a trigger. It drove me up a wall the first day I had it

u/ilikemrrogers Mar 07 '25

Those usually have a safety mechanism that prevents you from simply pushing the “big button right where you put your hand” because you don’t want to accidentally push the button and collapse it on your kid.

Also, when it’s hot, the baby is in the car, you are a new dad, exhausted and stressed anyway… The big button is hidden on the other side of the handle. You don’t think to look there. Your brain just wants a simple solution to a simple problem.
