What? she was fixing strollers?? ask her to STOP immediately and pray none of the customers will sue if the stroller breaks and child is hurt in the process. Your little sister has no idea in what kind of trouble she might be and could be criminally liable and state attorneys do not play nice when it comes to neglect of children wellbeing. Unsure which state this is in, but most have 5 years statue, so if she stops selling today she should be in clear by May 30, 2029. Please pray for her!

This is such a hilarious comment. You’re right that there’s risk, but it’s nothing like what you’re saying. She’s selling on Craigslist/FB marketplace. People aren’t expecting perfection.

If all that is true (not doubting just have no clue), how does the used stroller market function at all? Are parents suing stroller-selling parents?

  Generally, consumers buying from businesses are more protected than consumers buying from consumers.

Babies and toddlers fall down constantly, wtf are you ranting about? It's a stroller not a racecar.

  To be fair, strollers can get away from you, and they can get moving pretty fast. This is especially terrifying around traffic. Having your child strapped in adds to that terror.

      One wonders how any of us survived childhood! By modern standards we were dead kids walking and should have been taken into care immediately!

        Arguably, less survived childhood then than do now.

    This seems like a good opportunity for an invention: a stroller that detects its own speed and applies brakes automatically.

Would you also recommend parents not sell or give away strollers or toys, lest they be sued in the event of an injury? I've been on both sides of these transactions (and am a lawyer), and it never occurred to me that a lawsuit might occur. I'm also unaware of any possible criminal liability — this seems even more farfetched than the notion of a civil lawsuit.

  The closest I could think is a vexatious litigant d.b.a. "ambulance chaser" trying to sue everyone in the supply chain. I'd generally think the average Joe realizes a private sale/giveaway is an "as is, where is" though.
