Drowning and three-wheel strollers

Charles Bridges-Webb
MJA 2008; 188 (4): 264

To the Editor: I note the concern expressed by Byard and Matthews about the safety of three-wheel strollers.1

Surely a safer method of control would be for the brake to be on at all times other than when the stroller is in use? This could be done by having a lever that had to be held in position by the user in order to move the stroller.

Should not this be required in the safety standard?
