Strollers and carriers send thousands of kids to the Emergency Rooms read more at here http://www.spinonews.com/index.php/component/k2/item/633

Most of these little ones were hurt when they fell from the stroller 67% or carrier 63% maybe they weren’t strapped in securely or when the stroller 16% or carrier 29% tipped over, maybe because it was overloaded or on an uneven surface. And while overall stroller and carrier-related injuries dropped during the study period, the number of stroller-related TBIs concussions doubled, and carrier-related TBIs concussions actually tripled.

Nationwide Children's Hospital found that almost 361,000 children ages 5 and younger were treated in emergency rooms for stroller or carrier-related injuries between 1990 and 2010. And one-quarter of the stroller accidents, and one-third of the carrier ones, resulted in traumatic brain injuries and concussions.

Here’s a refresher on stroller and carrier safety.

Buckle up. Make sure your kid is seated and strapped in at all times.

Keep handles clear. Hanging heavy purses and bags on stroller handles can tip them over. Store these under the stroller or wear them on your shoulder.

Buy the right size. Strollers and carriers are not one size fits all. They have age and weight limits, so make sure yours is the right fit for your child.

Lock it. Set stroller wheels when you park so it doesn’t roll away. Be careful when using a stroller near a curb and in high traffic areas without sidewalks.

Get low. Keep carriers close to the ground so the child has a shorter fall if it tips over.

Check for recalls. Visit recalls.gov to see if your model has been recalled.

Nearly 7% of children injured in a carrier accident and slightly more than 2% injured by a stroller had to be hospitalized.

For stroller-related accidents, slightly more than half the patients were male, and 42% were younger than 12 months. Nearly 40% of the patients were diagnosed with a soft-tissue injury such as a bruise.
