“I brought this stroller via a third part retailer. After reading the reviews I haven’t bothered wasting my time trying to use the warranty as I don’t want a repair! I want a refund! They won’t give you this! Like so many others I have only used this stroller a hand full of times 10 Tim’s maximum and the back is broken!”
