Graco Quattro™ and MetroLite™ Strollers are being recalled following the deaths of four babies by entrapment and strangulation and other reports of babies becoming entrapped.
The danger arises when a child is not strapped in – they can fall through the gap between the stroller tray and the bottom of the seat, but the tray can entrap the baby’s head.
This recall involves older versions of the Graco Quattro Tour™ and MetroLite™ strollers and travel systems. These products were made before the existence of the January 2008 voluntary industry standard which ensures that the height of the opening between the stroller’s tray and the seat bottom is large enough to prevent infant entrapment and strangulation hazards.
This recall involves Graco Quattro Tour™ strollers and travel systems manufactured prior to November 2006 and MetroLite™ strollers and travel systems manufactured prior to July 2007.
You can find the model numbers printed on a label at the lower part of the rear frame, just above the rear wheels or underneath the stroller. You can find the name “Graco” on a label on the tray and headrest.
The models included in the recall are:

NOTE: Quattro and MetroLite strollers ending with the number 3 are NOT affected by this recall.
The strollers were sold between November 2000 and December 2007 at AAFES, Babies R Us, Burlington Coat Factory, Fred Meyer, Meijers, Navy Exchange, Sears, Target, Walmart and other stores nationwide. Prices ranged between $90 and $190 for the strollers, and between $190 and $250 for travel systems.
If you have one of these strollers, you are advised to stop using it and to contact Graco at (877) 828-4046 anytime for a free repair kit. Alternatively, please visit Graco’s website.
You can continue use of the stroller as a “travel system,” because the entrapment and strangulation hazards posed by the space gap are not present when the stroller is used with the infant car seat.
For more information, please contact Graco at (800) 345-4109 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
