Phil & Teds buggies
The problem
The hinge of the buggies may pose a potential finger laceration risk to adult users folding and unfolding the strollers.
Details
Phil & Teds Sport v2 and Classic v1 buggies. Sold throughout New Zealand between April 2008 and June 2010 with serial numbers from 0308/0001 to 0510/0906. The serial number is located on the inside of the folding hinge (the sling may need to be pushed aside to view).
What to do
Phil & Teds has developed a self-fit cover for the hinge which is available, free, to all owners of these strollers. It does not require the return of the stroller to base. To obtain a hinge cover kit, call 0800 119 437.

"My mother (74) got a renewal letter from her insurance company for her car insurance, wanting $570. After reading
your article on car insurance, I contacted one of the companies you recommended, who quoted her $318 for the same
level of cover. I just wanted to stay thank you very much for your article, as it has saved my mother a substantial amount of money".
