Is it Legal to Use a Baby Stroller at Walmart?

One of the most frequently asked questions about a baby stroller is whether it is safe to use at Walmart. There have been many rumors and stories about where babies have fallen down or what has happened to them while in a Walmart stroller. This article will seek to answer this question for you and others. We will look at whether the use of the stroller at Walmart is legal, and what you can do to make sure that your baby is safe while riding in the stroller.

First, let me explain some of the safety regulations that are in place at Walmart. According to them all strollers must have a one year warranty on the wheels and one year on the frame. Also all front wheels and tires must be covered by a two year warranty. Additionally all safety devices such as brake lights, windshield wipers, and headlights have to be approved by the store. Now that I have your attention now let’s talk about whether it is legal to use a stroller at Walmart.

The short answer is yes, Walmart allows you to use their baby stroller. If you are using a stroller that was purchased at a major department store such as Walmart, you will need to go to the store and inquire about their policy on strollers. You will also need to purchase your own accessories and items such as cup holders and snack trays. You may be required to have a photo identification card which proves that you are the actual owner of the stroller.

Now onto the details. If you purchased your baby stroller at Walmart, you will need to assemble it at the store. It is important to assemble the stroller properly. This means that all wheels should be firmly attached to the frame. If you didn’t buy the stroller from Walmart, you should request a temporary model to put on the counter. This is a safety requirement, since improper assembly can cause injury or even death.

The only other safety issue with the assembly is that you should avoid assembling the stroller while the wheels are in the parking lot. By doing this you won’t be putting any weight on them and they won’t be able to lock. This is a simple precaution to take in order to prevent them from becoming unlocked.

A stroller does not need to be purchased with the purchase of your baby. They are available in many different stores at varying prices. One of the nicest perks is that some manufacturers offer free shipping. When you factor in the cost of the shipping and the fact that Wal-Mart will give you a discount, the savings can become substantial.
