Top Strollers to Avoid: Safety Risks Every Parent Should Know About

How We Test stroller Safety

"There is a mandatory safety standard that stroller manufacturers in Australia must follow," explains Kim.

"But this standard is outdated. We test strollers based on the 2013 voluntary standard, which is widely used by manufacturers and goes beyond the basic mandatory requirements. There's even a newer 2022 revision that accounts for more modern stroller designs, like convertible tricycle strollers."

"We believe the voluntary requirements should become mandatory, so we go the extra mile. Our experts test not only against the mandatory standards but also against the voluntary ones, using those results to guide our recommendations," she says.

Our testing team brings decades of experience in evaluating children's products and has members who sit on the Australian Standards Committee for strollers and strollers. This keeps us up-to-date with any changes in the safety standards. Plus, our lab is NATA-accredited to test products against both the mandatory and voluntary standards for strollers and strollers.
