I had a safety malfunction with the baby double strollerInitial Complaint

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a defective product purchased from BabyTrend, the stroller car seat combo. Despite my efforts to resolve the issue with the company directly, I have encountered significant challenges and have not received a satisfactory solution. I recently purchased the aforementioned product from Amazon last month. Unfortunately, I have encountered a significant problem with the infant car seat straps, which renders the product unsafe for use.Upon discovering the issue, I promptly contacted Baby Trend's customer service department and provided detailed information regarding the problem. Additionally, I sent video evidence demonstrating the issue, showcasing attempts to pull the infant car seat straps from both the front and back angles. Despite this, the company has failed to acknowledge the severity of the issue or provide a viable solution.As a result, I am unable to safely transport my baby to her medical appointments, which is particularly concerning given her growing size and the necessity to adjust the straps accordingly.I believe the problem lies with the clip for the straps, and it is imperative that BabyTrend addresses this matter promptly to ensure the safety of its customers. Despite my repeated attempts to seek assistance from the company, I have not received adequate support or a resolution.I am reaching out to the Better Business Bureau in the hopes of resolving this matter swiftly and effectively. I kindly request your assistance in facilitating communication between myself and BabyTrend to ensure that this issue is addressed in a timely manner.Attached you will find documentation supporting my complaint, including correspondence with Baby Trend and video evidence of the defective product.I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution.Thank you for your assistance.Sincerely, *************************Business response

I am rejecting the response provided by the business regarding my complaint. The business has offered only a partial refund of $93.49 for a product that is unquestionably unsafe and defective.
Given the severity of the issue and the potential risks involved, I find it unacceptable to receive anything less than a full refund. If the business cannot provide a replacement product that meets the necessary safety standards, I insist on a complete refund.
I appreciate your attention to this matter and kindly request your assistance in ensuring a fair resolution.
Kind Regards,************************;

Bought a car seat for my son in October 2023. The anchor system started to get mess up less then 6 months so I filed warranty claim since it has a year warranty. I contacted by Email with video proof on how the anchor system is not working. I also called the customer service and the representative that was helping me was extremely rude and didnt car the safety of my kid. I explain to her that I went to the local police station for them to help me put on the car seat but they we not able make the anchor system work. Im extremely disappointed we bought this product because we seen it had a year warranty in case of anything happen, and felt this extra protection always great to have especially for our son, but sadly the warranty is not covering anything to get replacement parts or replacement due to safety reasons. Im looking help to get this fixed as soon as possible due to us going on a trip soon. This is extremely disappointing less the 6 months and the car seat is already messed up. Car seats are not cheap, and just wanting either a replacement or replacement of the part to be able to use the anchor system.Business response

There's issues with their stroller and instead of replacing it because it's under warranty they want to charge me $65 just to replace the front end alignment issue and the tray and they want to charge $20 for shipping they've done bump their heads... The front end alignment is messed up which caused my daughter and I to fall getting off a public transit bus almost hurting ourselves seriously! Secondly when I called they don't want to do anything about it. I won't recommend their products to anyone if they won't take care of the issues with their productsBusiness response

I am rejecting this response because:
When I called about it I was told I would have to pay to replace the front end alignment issue pay for the tray to be replaced and pay $20 for shipping I was going to be paying like $65 or more. This was a gift for my child for baby shower.... I shouldn't have to pay for something that's under a warrantyInitial Complaint

In May of 2023 I paid roughly ****** to baby trend for a stroller and car seat combo. The stroller folds improperly and is unusable for my daughter. I have since contacted baby trend for a replacement multiple times. Three to be exact...using two different emails. ***************************** has been the representative all three times. Please see the attached Gmail correspondence. You will see she is repetitive in asking questions and refuses to resolve the issue or respond to emails. I need a replacement stroller.Initial Complaint

I bought the babytrend wagon plus wagon in April of 2023. I wanted a wonderfold but that was out of my budget. It's been great until a month ago and now I can't collapse it. It isn't stuck on anything and I've had multiple people look at it. I use it maybe once a week at ************** or the park. I emailed babytrend and they took forever to get back. They asked for more details than a doctor does. Healthy weight age of my son and anyone else that rides in the wagon. How often I use it and where, has it been hit or dropped with a video of the problem. Every email it's a new question I have to answer. I tried calling and they weren't friendly and had me on hold forever so I hung up. I sent the video of me trying to collapse it for 5 minutes but apparently that isn't enough detail. I guess I need to hire a professional to videotape the issue since they can't see me pushing nonstop and the wagon doesn't collapse. Save your money and splurge on a better brand.Initial Complaint

A Baby Trend back pack that we had purchased several years ago was recalled. I contacted the company and spoke to *******************************, they stated a refund of $50 was provided if the back pack was returned to them. I shipped the back pack back to them and it was delivered August 9, 2023 ****** tracking ************). Since then I have not received the refund or any correspondence even though I have made multiple attempts to contact them. There is never any answer to my e-mails or phone calls to customer service. I have included the Email correspondence via the upload.Initial Complaint

I received the baby trend pack and play for a gift at my baby-shower back in may. It was purchased for $180. Upon opening the gift that was purchased from target, there were several missing parts, like the changing table and storage bag. All items were listed on the box that were supposed to be in there. I called several times and emailed Darlene. After taking almost 5 days to respond, she finally said they placed an order for missing parts that would take 14 business days to receive. That was on June 22, 2023. It is now July 18, 2023 and I have still not received anything.
