What to consider in a pram liner
Practicality: Pram liners work as a padded barrier between the pram and your baby or toddler. It provides additional cushioning that is great for your child’s comfort; however, it is good to remember that the pram will still need to fold down easily. Stay clear from anything with too many lumps and bumps.
Easy to clean: Liners are designed to reduce general wear and tear on your pram’s seat from dirt, crumbs and spills and potty training accidents. Having a pram liner that is easy to clean is essential. Look for ones that are machine washable or reversible.
Comfort: Make sure to buy a pram liner made of quality fabric. It will need to be easy to wash, but softness is also a factor to consider, too. You want to encourage your toddler or baby to stay inside the pram and keep cosy and warm or cool. Some materials have temperature-regulating properties to keep babies warm in the winter months and cool for the warmer months.

How we do our testing
Our Mother&Baby Awards are renowned in the industry for being one of the most highly respected product awards for baby and parenting products, and every year, we arrange for thousands of independent mum reviewers to test the latest products on the market.
Awards testers are asked to score the product they are reviewing in four areas: usability, design, quality and value for money. Each product is scored out of 10 with each of these areas in mind, and the final score determines which products make the coveted bronze, silver and gold spots in that product category.
Our editorial team is also constantly looking for new pram liners to test so that we can help you find the best - be that a cheaper product that we want to test for value for money or the latest innovation.
