If you go to the Graco website you can see how to get that “fix” if you need one. But I wouldn’t bother. I have one of the affected strollers as shown below:

So I ordered the hinge covers, as is required to make the hinges more safe. I received them in the mail very quickly and I installed them today as per the instructions that was included. They didn’t seem to fit correctly so I watched the install video here. I have the covers installed correctly but now I can’t open my canopy and when I fold the stroller the velcro comes undone so each time I unfold the stroller I will need to re-attach the cover!!! This is not a good fix at all. I don’t plan to use it since it will be of a hassle than it is worth. I have used that stroller for over 4 years and never has a finger gotten anywhere near the hinge so now I will just keep a good eye on my children’s fingers.

This safety issue is not going to stop me from using Graco products in the future or recommend them. They have about 75% less recalls than Evenflow has, which is a brand I will NEVER buy!
