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>
