In the wake of recent recalls in the juvenile industry Regal Lager and Cybex have responded in a quick and responsible way to the situation. Within one week of the news breaking about the Maclaren hinges, Cybex was ramping up production of a hinge cover of their own, as some of their strollers have a similar hinge mechanism. Three models (Ruby, Onyx and Topaz, from the Cybex Gems Collection) may pose a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to the child when the consumer is unfolding/opening the stroller. All affected strollers shipped from our warehouse after November had a hinge cover retrofit kit included.
New 2010 Gems models, ready to be shipped out in the near future, have hinge covers installed. Retailers have received hinge covers since early December for their inventory and floor models. Consumers are encouraged to either go to our website, call Regal Lager Customer Care toll free at: 1 (800)593-5522 or send an e-mail to info@regallager.com to receive a free and easy to install hinge cover retrofit kit and instructions. Please note that the Cybex Callisto is not affected of this Recall to Repair due to its unique hinge design. There has been one incident, reported to us right after the Maclaren recall, and the child is fine. We are proud to work with manufacturers that are responsible and proactive in situations where a child’s safety may be compromised.

Dave Milligan, Sales Development Manager at Regal Lager has been elected to the board of The Real Diaper Industry Association. Regal Lager is the exclusive distributor in the United States of the award-winning Bambino Mio cloth diapering system from England.
Milligan has been in the juvenile industry since 1989. He was a retail store manager for 15 years in Salt Lake City, before becoming national sales manager for juvenile furniture company and then a stroller company. He joined Regal Lager in 2008.
“Today’s parents are definitely concerned about their children’s future environment and want to make their contribution. And today’s modern cloth diapers have evolved tremendously compared to ‘your mother’s/grandmother’s cloth diapers’,” said Milligan. “Combine that with the positive impact on the environment and substantial financial savings for the consumer, cloth diapers will continue to grow rapidly and give retailers a nice profit as well.”
Manufacturers, retailers and diaper services are working together in the Real Diaper Industry Association to continue this momentum and make cloth diapers the preferred method of diapering, said Bengt Lager, Regal Lager president.
“Regal Lager is excited and honored to have Dave join the RDIA board and we hope to be able to contribute to the continued success of cloth diapers,” he continued.
