Buying a safe stroller or pram: tips
If you buy a new stroller or pram, first check that it meets the standards. The standards label may be on the stroller or pram. Or you can ask the manufacturer or retailer.
Always look for a frame that is sturdy, secure when folded, and has sturdy footrests. Make sure there are no areas where your child’s head, arms, legs, or fingers can get caught.
Make sure your stroller has a five-point safety belt or harness that fits your child’s waist, shoulders, and between their legs.
Check that the stroller or stroller has one or more easy-to-lock brakes, and a red safety harness.
Make sure your stroller or stroller has a harness or harness strap.
Check that the stroller or stroller is appropriate for your child’s age and weight. Not safe for babies under 6 months of age.
Reducing the risks of using strollers and walkers: Tips
To ensure your child’s safety, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully when setting up your stroller or walker. In particular, make sure that the folding mechanism is locked to prevent your vehicle from falling over.
The following tips can help you reduce the risk of your child falling out of the stroller or pram:
Always use a 5-point safety harness to secure your child.
Let your children know that you will not go without a harness. As your child gets older and more mobile, teach him not to stand or lean on the stroller or stroller.
Here’s how to reduce the risk of your stroller or stroller tipping over and injuring your child:
Place the bag in the basket under the stroller and do not hang it from the handle.
Do not exceed the specified shipping weight limit for your stroller or stroller. Exceeding the weight limit can cause problems. This can also make walking worse. Watch for older children trying to climb into the stroller or pram. Tell older children that only one person should be in the stroller.
Here’s how to reduce the risk of choking and suffocation in a stroller or pram:
If your child is under 6 months old, your pushchair or walker should allow them to lie flat on a flat surface while sleeping. This will protect your child’s airways.
Make sure your child can breathe. For example, don’t cover the stroller or walker with clothing or blankets.
Make sure the seat belt is fastened and keep the harness fastened after removing your child from the pushchair or bassinet.
Don’t leave pillows or blankets in the stroller or bassinet.
Safe walking with strollers and walkers: tips
Here’s how to stay safe when walking with a stroller or walker:
Keep the harness in your hand when using the stroller or walker.
Avoid pushing your baby walker on uneven surfaces, over curbs, or up and down stairs. This increases the risk of injury and may damage your pushchair or wheelchair.
Always use the brakes when parking, even on flat ground, so your rambunctious child can’t turn the wheel again.
Place your pushchair or car seat parallel to the road or train tracks to keep them out of the way.
Ask someone to help you lift a stroller or pushchair onto buses, trains and trams. Hold the handles yourself and let someone else hold the walking legs. It is best if there is someone else who can walk in front of you and hold the stroller’s legs or stroller’s legs first when you get out of the car.
