***August 2020 update***

Thule has alerted us that it is recalling the Thule Sleek pushchair because of a potential safety issue. It has said that it has identified a risk of the handlebar potentially detaching from the stroller frame, posing a fall hazard for the child. This fault only affects certain batches.

We’ve made this product a Don’t Buy. We’ve done this to make owners and potential owners aware of the safety problems that exist with some of these pushchairs.

Identify if your pushchair is one of the recalled models and what to do next.
