It hasn't exactly been worn down in the store :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-manufacturing-date-matter-for-strollers#post-794394 Sun, 19 May 2013 20:23:52 +0000 googly-eyes 794394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so if its new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-manufacturing-date-matter-for-strollers#post-794391 Sun, 19 May 2013 20:20:54 +0000 LittleFox 794391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I doubt it matters, unless there is a newer model with features or design changes you want that are not present in this one or it has been recalled. Unlike a car seat, strollers aren't designed with collisions in mind so as long as everything seems to be working well you're probably fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-manufacturing-date-matter-for-strollers#post-794326 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:27:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 794326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just tug good on the straps and check the wheels to make sure there isn't any disintegration or anything. But within just that timeframe I think you should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-manufacturing-date-matter-for-strollers#post-794239 Sun, 19 May 2013 17:44:04 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 794239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I doubt it!! I'm know people who safely use 10yr old strollers. Maybe I'd be careful if you plan on buying a carseat adaptor ( you want to make sure to buy a 2011 version if they've changed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-manufacturing-date-matter-for-strollers#post-794184 Sun, 19 May 2013 16:47:36 +0000 spaniellove 794184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We picked up a BOB during REI's sale because it was a good time to use our dividends, and when we brought it home my husband pointed out that the manufacturing date was 5/11. I'm not sure if it's gone through any design changes since then (the most recent major update was early 2011) but it bothers me a little that it was manufactured 2 years ago. Does it matter for strollers the way it does for things like car seats? </p>
