There was another thread where a questions was asked about when the standards were coming in, but it was a while ago.

I know that companies are already changing them as all the Bugaboo's coming in are all getting the brakes switched over, which is a reason for delays in their delivery, so when they do arrive, will be all conforming to the new standard before that date.

I had no idea. The tether is a good idea. One of the mum's who lost her baby in the river was on the phone, so that would've helped. But usually when a pram rolls away noone's near it. I don't put the brakes on at home, but out I usually do.Well out doors. I don't really worry in the shops n stuff.

I think the red brake is a good idea so that if someoine is using your pram who'd unfamiliar with it will always know its 'the red one'.

I think the tether strap is okay if you have one bub, but it is largely impractical especially if you have older toddlers who arent in the pram - if you're tied to the pram what happens if you need to chase after them? It may be a split second thing and they're out of reach.

My 3 wheeler pram came with red brakes when I bought it late last year. Not too sure if I'd use a tether strap though
