I ran into this problem recently when I was trying to find a combination charger/earphone jack adapter for my iPhone 7.
There are a lot of these listed on Amazon--and a lot with really good reviews--but with one quick look at the reviews (and the pictures posted by reviewers) it's obvious that the reviews are for completely different products--
Here's an example:
https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Spl...s%2C205&sr=8-7
The above link (at least at the time of my posting here) shows an adapter that has a four star rating on 657 reviews. The first review I see when I look at them starts off with "This is a great stroller. There wasn't much in the product details, but the general look appealed to me. I was buying it for a 4 foot tall 6 year old... "
Also note--that this is item is "fullfilled by Amazon"--again at least at the time of this posting.
