Who would steal a buggy?

January 22, 2013 by admin 2 Comments

I read an article recently in the Daily Mail about buggy theft being on the rise. I have on occasion left my own buggy outside a friends house, or by a ride at a theme park. The thought that someone would take it did cross my mind, but I find it hard to believe anyone would actually steal a child’s pushchair.  However, according to the stats in the Daily Mail I have been taking foolish risks. Apparently 1 in 14 parents have had a buggy stolen, with thefts rising by 23% since 2009.

My main pushchair with my first child was a Bugaboo, which at the time cost us over £500. Five years later there are pushchairs which cost over £1000 so its hardly suprising these are targets for theft and resale.

With this in mind, Britax have a rather clever feature on their new Affinity pushchair. It has been created with a unique theft protection system to provide parents with peace of mind. Each pushchair has its own individual code, similar to a car Vehicle Information Number (VIN), which owners register online. Anyone can then determine whether or not a specific Britax affinity is still with its correct owner – therefore, making it a less attractive option for thieves as re-sale is made tougher.

I certainly be making sure I don’t leave my B-Agile 3 anywhere it might be taken. I don’t know what I’d do without it.

    OMG! I never even thought of this but it makes sense now times are hard and with the amount a travel system or pushchair can cost. Really clever idea from Britax there.
    We are on the hunt for the next stage carseat for MC as she’s getting too big for hers now and she’s almost 4. Being a Mumbassador for Britax, are there any that you have reviewed or are using that you’d recommend? x

    What a lever idea, I know I’ve left my bugaboo reluctantly outside toddler groups and wondered if it would get taken. I can’t believe a mum would really do that to another but guess I’m wrong! We love britax in this house too x
