Eleven models of strollers have a folding hinge on the side that `` can pinch a child 's finger , posing a laceration or amputation hazard , '' officials said . Caregivers are being advised to show `` extreme care when unfolding the stroller to be certain that the hinges are firmly locked before placing a child in the stroller , '' the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said . `` Caregivers are advised to immediately remove the child from a stroller that begins to fold to keep their fingers from the side hinge area , '' the agency said .
