Kirsty Carroll, a parenting expert at Kiddies Kingdom, has listed five essential tips for keeping our little ones safe and toasty in their pushchairs during cold winter walks. Sharing her advice, Kirsty highlighted one dangerous mistake that parents are often seen making in the winter months - covering the pram with a blanket.
While parents may think this will help keep their kid warm, it can actually be quite hazardous, potentially restricting airflow and making your baby uncomfortable. Warning parents of the common error, Kirsty noted that this mistake could even put them at risk of overheating.
Kirsty said: "Layer up on clothes, as this traps the heat to keep your little one warm. A good rule of thumb is to give your baby one extra layer of clothing than what you're wearing. "A snug base layer, insulated mid-layer, and weatherproof outer layer are ideal to shield them from the cold. Babies lose the most heat through the top of their heads, so don't forget a hat!'' she told Daily Star.
