European foreword
This document (prEN 1888-3:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252 “Child care
articles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the second CEN Enquiry.

Introduction
In November 2014 the European Working Group CEN/TC 252/WG 3 decided to split EN 1888 into
different parts to clearly treat in a different way, new products or new functions of wheeled child
conveyances.
prEN 1888-3 covers pushchairs intended for sport activities and is only applicable in conjunction with
EN 1888-1:2018+A1:2022, which states general requirements for pushchairs and prams; and if
applicable, with EN 1888-2:2018+A1:2022 which states requirements for pushchairs intended for
children up to 22 kg.
Compliance with EN 1888-1:2018+A1:2022 is mandatory to comply with prEN 1888-3.
If the pushchair is intended for children up to 22 kg, compliance with EN 1888-2:2018+A1:2022 is
mandatory to comply with prEN 1888-3.
