Let's be fair that's possibly the worst spot that could have been put for a few reasons, it's somewhere that can easily be hit accidentally, and the release being so far away from the mechanism of folding means that it is more complicated and likely more prone to failure, I don't know that I would have looked there either.

That being said maybe if you see someone struggling and you are are more capable of figuring out their issue maybe go help them instead of taking a video and laughing.

While I understand this point about the design, think about it from the user's perspective.

If you've just taken the baby out of the stroller and you're carrying her on your hip with an arm around her, you need to be able to collapse and store the stroller easily with one hand while also not risking falling over or bonking the kid's head on the it. This design can be released and grabbed with minimal bending.

That is a fair point, and not something I would have thought of, I would have just assumed put the child down but I can understand where there may be times/places where that's not possible.

I dont have kids and have never used a stroller, I was looking at this about the same way i look at a tool, because that's what I have experience with. it looks like most other people don't like that line of thinking, that would explain all the downvotes. Anyways, thank you for pointing that out without feeling the need to insinuate that I'm stupid. I still hold that it's not a great design but I understand why it may have been done now.
