The surveillance video shows that there is a crack in the ground connection, the front wheel of the cart is stuck in the gap, and the rear wheel of the cart suddenly folds after leaving the ground, and the baby in the cart falls face down directly to the ground.
The baby was diagnosed with "penetrating injury to the lower lip and contusion and laceration of the mucosa of the upper lip", and after outpatient follow-up, he needed one year of anti-scar treatment, and after one year according to the recovery situation, he decided whether further treatment was needed.
This baby car has a product defect
The court decided

Meng Qiuzhong, a first-level judge of the Xiangzhou District People's Court of Zhuhai City:
Xuanxuan's (pseudonym) father went to the defendant's store twice after the incident to conduct on-site comparisons of the same stroller involved in the case.
If the same type of stroller for sale in the defendant's store wants to be folded and put away, it is first necessary to pull up the pull ring under the pusher, and then push the pusher to the lowest gear position and hit it, so that the stroller can be folded and put away, but the car that Xuanxuan is sitting on will automatically unlock and press down when it encounters an obstacle, causing the seat to tilt forward.
In the end, the court found that the baby walking car involved in the accident had an unreasonable danger to the person and was a product defect. The court ordered the defendant store to compensate the plaintiff for medical expenses, nursing expenses and mental injury solatium totaling more than 12,000 yuan.

The percentage of failures is also high
These 16 batches were tested
There are 13 batches damaged
The main focus is on the wheels falling off or deforming
One of the main selling points of the baby walking car is that it is easy to carry, so the walking car will be equipped with a folding and locking device, which is of reliable quality and is directly related to the safety of children.
According to professionals, according to the standard requirements, two actions are required to untie the locking device to prevent a single action from being misoperated and causing injury to children, and the locking device also needs to meet certain strength requirements. However, some vehicles do not meet the requirements.
The standard requires that the baby walking car must be equipped with a seat belt, that is, a restraint system, and 42.3% of the products tested did not meet the requirements. Some lack belts or crotch straps, and some of the restraint systems on the baby walking cart are just decorations that don't work at all. This can cause the baby to slip off the "baby walking artifact" and fall to the ground.
Some baby walking cars are sold online
It is suspected of failing to pass the 3C certification
There are a lot of walking baby cars sold online

"Three nos" products
There are serious quality problems
Because it is directly related to the health and safety of children, all kinds of baby carriages, including baby walking cars, must obtain compulsory product certification certificates before they can be shipped and sold since June 1, 2007.
However, in this test, 9 products suspected of not passing the 3C certification and failing the test were sold on the e-commerce platform, and the sales volume displayed on the webpage has exceeded 300,000 vehicles.
In addition, there are 4 products corresponding to the 3C certificate number marked on the online store webpage are not walking baby cars, which are suspected of fraudulently using 3C certificates.
The two walking baby cars of Mengduofu and Keyoumeng, although the brands are different, but the multiple pictures displayed on the two online stores are very similar, and the appearance of the products is basically the same, and the nominal manufacturers are Pingxiang County Kangjing Children's Products Factory, and the other two walking baby cars are also nominally produced by this company, not only that, the reporter noticed that the 3C certification certificate number displayed on the online store page of the 4 walking baby cars is also the same, and the test results show that these 4 walking baby cars have more serious quality problems, The test results were all unqualified.
The reporter came to Pingxiang County Kangjing Children's Products Factory, there was no sign at the factory gate, there were many finished products, semi-finished products and various accessories stacked in the factory area, and four or five workers were assembling and OEM. The person in charge of the company said that their walking car, the factory price is more than 100 yuan, the price is affordable, the safety is also high, and the seller can sell it under its own brand.
The person in charge admitted that from the cost considerations, some parts on their walking car did not meet the standards required by the 3C certification.
The reporter learned
There are quite a few of them in the local area
Walking baby car processing enterprises
There are also some that specialize in the production of accessories
Plus workshops
The reporter then visited Pingxiang County Idejie Children's Toy Factory, and the quality survey of the two platforms of the two walking baby cars were nominally from this company, and the test results were unqualified.
The head of the plant said
We can provide 3C certification by ourselves
His family's 3C certificate
It's not just about using it yourself

Person in charge of Idejie Children's Toy Factory in Pingxiang County, Hebei Province:
I did it myself, there are many manufacturers don't do it, there are no 3C certificates, to put it bluntly, if something happens, it's a fool. I have several friends who use me, and if there is anything, I will handle it, and I will come forward.

The reporter also found
Some other walking car manufacturers
There is also a similar situation of borrowing 3C certificates
Substandard products! Taken off the shelves!
The reporter learned
A variety of unqualified baby walking car plastic parts
It is likely that a large amount of calcium carbonate is added
This causes the baby car to be impacted
Prone to breakage
↓↓↓
Yin Zhijie, Deputy Manager of the Standards and Regulations Department of the China Toys and Juvenile Products Association:
After testing, the plastic part is broken, in this case, we preliminarily judge that it is added more calcium carbonate, and its cost can be about 10% to 20% lower, so that the company can save a lot of money.
The broken metal parts are made of relatively thin black skin pipe materials, which will be 30% to 40% cheaper than black skin pipes with lower wall thickness and better quality white skin pipes.
In order to better protect consumers and standardize the development of the industry, the China Toys and Juvenile Products Association has officially released the results of this survey on the quality of walking cars this week. Unqualified products will be removed from the shelves.
In 2023, the total retail sales of strollers in mainland China will be 14.45 billion yuan, of which walking strollers account for a considerable proportion. I hope that the manufacturer will pay attention to the quality and safety of children's products!
