Safety

The pram should be equipped with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It should also have no gaps where their legs or heads could get stuck. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. You should also inspect the buckles of your harness to make sure that they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over when you hang your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling and falls in or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a child is not properly secured, they could fall out of the pram and suffer neck or head injuries. It is therefore important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into place.

Some prams have a reversible shade which can be used to protect your baby in either direction from the sun. This feature is useful because you won't have to wake your baby when you change their position in the stroller, or when you go into and out of shops. There are also other features that could be useful, like a snack tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. You can also find an extra shopping basket under the seat.

A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for short periods during the daytime.
