Safety Certification <p>Baby products which come with a safety certification have been manufactured at scale after the final product has been tested in an approved laboratory for child safety. The lab after testing the products on several parameters certifies that the product complies with all rules and guidelines set for children’s safety.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> There are different certification standards in the world. The most common ones are: CPC: United States: CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION United States European standard EN 1888–1 This safety standard specifies the safety requirements and test methods for pushchairs and prams, designed for the carriage of children. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>"The EN 1888 certification is a European method of certification which was devised to standardize the safety features of strollers and other similar products. Pushchairs and prams fall into this category. This has been done to ensure that babies and toddlers can be moved around at minimum risk to them. finger entrapment has been addressed by this piece of legislation. The delicate fingers of your child can get trapped if there are holes in the stroller. The pram or stroller should in no way harm the child because of these features. A stroller does have a couple of locking mechanisms in place to ensure that the child does not move abruptly. The rules set for locking mechanisms have been revised to ensure they can be operated with ease. At the same time, they have been made safer.</p>
<p>Often children bite on the bumper bars. These bars are covered with a layer of foam so that the babies do not get hurt due to sudden jolts. The new rules in this certification ensure that the bars are tested with a new method. These new bumper bars will not tear and expose the foam material underneath even when the children keep biting them"</p>
Weight Suitability <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Weight Suitability The weight suitability of a product tells us about the appropriate weight range of the child for which the product is safe and comfortable to use. Weight suitability is applicable to a wide range of baby products like </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">baby prams, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">baby car seats, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">baby cots, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">baby feeding chair, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">baby ride on bikes and cars etc </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">and even to some wearables like diapers</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Often weight and age suitability are linked to each other and therefore it is advisable to look at both age and weight suitability of a product before buying a baby product.<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p>
<p> </p>
Brake Mechanism <p>Brakes in the pram allow you to stop the pram while the pram is in motion. Brakes also allow you to lock the position of the pram if you stop while you are walking with the pram. This ensures that the pram doesn't roll off when you take your hands off the pram.</p>
Safety Strap <p>Some prams come with a safety starp, the caregiver can slip thir wrist in it and wear it liek a wrist band. This is to ensure that the pram doesn't roll off without accidently in any direction.</p>
Shoulder Strap
Head Barrier <p>Small children cannot hold their heads upright. Even in the lying down position,when the pram is in motion, their heads tend to sway. The head barrier offers support to their heads. It is an important feature to consider when the child starts sitting upright and you want to walk teh child on slightly rough terrain.</p>
Seat Recline Positions <p>Most prams have a mechanism thriugh which the seat recline positions can be adjusted. This is helpful to make the child lie down or sit upright completely or slightly reclined as per the mood of the child and your need</p>
Storage Basket <p>This feature is important as it helps you do yoru daily shopping with the child in the pram and you will not have to carry the shopping bags</p>
Mosquito Net <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many products come with an additional feature for using a mosquito net along with the product. Either the product has an area or feature from where one can attach a mosquito or comes with a built in mosquito net. Other products are designed to support using a mosquito net with that product. Like: Some baby cots with an additional side rod and a ring from to which mosquito nets can be attached. Some prams, baby rockers may also have an additional feature to attach a mosquito net to it. There are some mosquito nets that can be attached to any products.</span></p>
Child Tray <p>This is an additional feature and not an essential one. If the pram has a tray the parent can plave toys etc to keep teh child engaged. The tray can also double up as a table for giving the chidl some food. The disadvantage of putting food on this tray is that the child may spill it on the pram seat.</p>
Reversible Seat <p>In some prams you can reverse the seat to make it a forward or reward facing pram.</p>
Height (inch)
Width (inch)
Depth (inch)
Weight of Pram <p>This is a very imporatnt feature for the practical use of a pram. Parents use the pram when they are stepping out. The pram becomes even more useful when a single parent is stepping out with the baby for some work or household chores. In such situations, the parent has a baby to manage and invaraibaly lots of baby goods/accessories and maybe even some shopping bags! And with all of these responisibilities, one has to fold the pram and put it away in the car, the compact fold feature of the pram or single hand feature is a feature that will make this whole operation easy. A pram which is cumbersome to fold defeats the purpose of adding comfort to the whoe purpose of stepping out with the baby.</p>
