Safety

The pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It should also have no gaps between their head and legs that are likely to get caught. The straps must be cushioned, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not cracked and have signs of wear. Every year, a lot of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The primary cause of these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over.
