February 23, 2026 — A recent incident report highlights a serious safety concern involving the Mompush Lithe V2 Lightweight Travel Stroller, where the product allegedly collapsed with an infant inside shortly after being unfolded. The incident raises questions about the stroller’s locking mechanism and its overall structural integrity.
Product Details
Product: Mompush T3500M (referred to as Lithe V2 Lightweight Travel Stroller by the consumer)
Incident Report Date: January 23, 2026
Incident Overview
According to an incident report filed on January 23, 2026, a consumer received the Mompush Lithe V2 Lightweight Travel Stroller as a baby shower gift in February 2025. The stroller remained unused until the consumer’s son was old enough to sit up independently. When attempting to use the stroller for the first time, the consumer followed the assembly instructions. Upon unfolding the stroller, a clicking noise was heard, which the consumer believed indicated a safe lock. However, there was no definitive way to confirm the stroller was securely locked into its open position. As the consumer walked behind the stroller to push it, with their son already placed inside and strapped in, the stroller unexpectedly collapsed. The report does not detail any injuries sustained by the child but underscores the immediate danger posed by the collapsing mechanism.
Safety Concerns
The primary safety concern highlighted by this incident is the potential for the Mompush Lithe V2 Lightweight Travel Stroller to collapse unexpectedly while a child is seated inside.
- Immediate Dangers: An sudden collapse can lead to significant immediate dangers for an infant or young child. These include head injuries, concussions, fractures, scrapes, bruises, or even suffocation if the child becomes trapped or pinned within the collapsing frame. The jolt and fall can also cause emotional distress and fright for the child.
- Long-Term Risks: Depending on the severity of any potential head trauma or physical injury, long-term developmental issues or chronic pain could arise. Even minor injuries can cause lasting anxiety for both the child and parents when using similar products.
- Who Might Be Affected: Infants and young toddlers using the Mompush Lithe V2 Lightweight Travel Stroller are directly at risk. Parents, grandparents, and caregivers are also affected by the potential for harm to the child and the stress of such an event.
- Property Damage Potential: While the primary concern is child safety, a sudden collapse could also damage personal belongings placed in the stroller’s storage basket or items the stroller impacts during its collapse.
The report specifically mentions the lack of a “for sure way to know it is locked,” which points to a critical design flaw in the locking mechanism or an inadequacy in user instructions regarding how to confirm safe deployment. An ambiguous locking indicator can lead to accidental deployment or collapse, putting children at severe risk.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers who own a Mompush Lithe V2 Lightweight Travel Stroller, particularly model T3500M, should take immediate action to ensure the safety of their children.
- Immediately Cease Use: If you own this stroller, stop using it immediately, especially if you experience any uncertainty about its locking mechanism or hear unusual noises when unfolding.
- Check Your Product: Verify if your stroller is the Mompush Lithe V2 Lightweight Travel Stroller, model T3500M. This information can typically be found on a label on the stroller frame, under the seat, or in the user manual.
- Inspect Locking Mechanism: Carefully inspect the folding and unfolding mechanism. Look for any clear indicators (visual or auditory) that confirm the stroller is fully and securely locked into place before placing a child in it. If there is any ambiguity or difficulty in confirming the lock, do not use the stroller.
- Report Incidents: If you have experienced a similar incident or have concerns about the safety of this product, report it to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov. Detailed reports are crucial for identifying patterns and prompting official investigations or recalls.
