Safety

A pram must have a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps that could trap their legs or head. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they are not cracked and have signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized every year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. The primary reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the sturdiest prams can fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a wriggling child gets into or out of the seat without the harness being properly secured.
