These harnesses secure children in their seats, preventing them from slipping out of the stroller or getting out when you're not paying attention. Make sure the harness can be adjusted correctly and is securely fixed.

A 5-point harness transfers the forces of crash to the rigid points of the body of a child, such as the shoulders and hips. This allows the soft parts of their bodies, such as the abdomen, to absorb and cushion the shock. This also prevents them from being tossed around in the event of a sudden stop or turn.

When using a harness, you should always make sure the straps are not saggy and lie flat against the skin of the child. Because twisted straps concentrate the force of a crash on smaller areas of the child's body, and can result in serious injuries. Straps can be twisted in two ways:

To prevent this, put your child in their chair and make sure they are standing straight and not leaning back or slouching. Then, put their arms around the straps like they were trying on a vest.

It is therefore important to clean a buggy prior to putting it away and to regularly inspect it for signs of mould and mildew. A quick and simple solution is to use an anti-bacterial spray - Milton do a child friendly one - and dry the fabric thoroughly prior to storing.

If the stain is not removing then you can try a blend of baking soda and vinegar. This is a non-toxic solution that will effectively kill mildew and mould spores and is safe to apply to the fabric for a night.
