European foreword
This document (prEN 1888-3:2022) 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 CEN Enquiry.
This document is read in conjunction with and in addition to EN 1888-1 and, if applicable, EN 1888-2,
and it cannot be used separately.

1 Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements of pushchairs when used for running/jogging or inline
skating, intended for the transport of one or two children up to 15 kg (EN 1888-1) or 22 kg (EN 1888-2).
prEN 1888-3 is only applicable in conjunction with EN 1888-1, which states general requirements for
pushchairs and prams; and, if applicable, in conjunction with EN 1888-2, which states requirements for
pushchairs intended for children up to 22 kg.
prEN 1888-3 covers articles which are already compliant with EN 1888-1. If the pushchair is intended for
children up to 22 kg, prEN 1888-3 assumes that the pushchair is already compliant under the
requirements defined in EN 1888-2.
Pushchairs intended to transport the carer while pushing are excluded.

Note 1 to entry: A dead man’s brake can be combined with the parking device and/or braking device.
4 General requirements and test conditions
4.1 General requirement
The vehicle shall meet the requirements of EN 1888-1 and EN 1888-2 if the pushchair is intended for
children up to 22 kg, except the warning sentence given in Clause 10.4.1: “WARNING This product is not
suitable for jogging or inline skating”.
To meet the requirements of this document, the vehicle shall be tested additionally, in accordance with
the clauses listed below and in the order given in EN 1888-1 (see 4.2).
4.2 Test conditions
Tests shall be carried out in the order of the clauses given in EN 1888-1, in EN 1888-2 if the pushchair is
intended for children up to 22 kg, and the additional tests of this document shall be conducted together
with the relevant Clauses of EN 1888-1 and EN 1888-2 if applicable, on the same sample.

5 Test equipment
5.1 Stop
A rigid square bar of (100 × 100) mm, with a radius of 3 mm. The length of the stop shall be of at least the
width of the stroller.
6 Mechanical hazards
6.1 Suitability for use
6.1.1 Requirements
The vehicle shall be designed such as to limit children from reaching out past the width of the vehicle;
this can be achieved by for example but not limited to sided seat unit, bumper bar or other means of
hands rests.
The vehicle shall be fitted with a support for the feet.
There shall be no protruding rigid objects that are not padded or otherwise protected and that could
come into contact with a child’s head, between 270 mm and 550 mm measured on the backrest above the
junction line of the seat.
NOTE Examples of projections include:
a) a discontinuity of surfaces that creates a step with a height of more than 5 mm with an edge radius of 5 mm or
less or a chamfer of 45° or less;
b) a protrusion with a height of more than 5 mm with a diameter or width of 10 mm or more and with an edge
radius of 2 mm or less; and
c) a protrusion of more than 10 mm in height with an edge radius of 5 mm or less.
The front wheel (s) of vehicles intended for sport activities shall pass over the stop (5.1), when tested in
accordance with 6.1.2.
6.1.2 Test method
Adjust the vehicle in the configuration recommended by the manufacturer in the instruction for use, for
sport use.
Adjust the backrest in the most upright position.
Place test mass B (EN 1888-1:2018, 5.1.3) or test mass H (EN 1888-2:2018, Clause 5) centrally against
the backrest in such a way that its bottom edge is in contact with the seat/back rest junction line. Restrain
the test mass with the restraint system and any appropriate strap if needed.
NOTE For the purpose of the test, the mass shall be properly attached to the seat unit, using the straps of the
restrain system. To achieve this and for better reproducibility additional means of attachment can be used as well,
this will not impair the result of the test.
Position the vehicle as shown in Figure 1. Release the vehicle and allow it to run freely down the slope
until it impacts the stop (5.1).

6.2 Restraint system
6.2.1 Additional requirement
The pushchair shall be fitted with a five-points restraint system: the restraint system shall comprise at
least a crotch strap, a waist strap and shoulder straps.
When tested in accordance with 6.2.2 the anchoring points of the restraint system (frame, belt buckle,
etc.) shall not show any visible damage or be detached, the dummy D shall remain properly restrained as
intended.
The Dummy D shall not be displaced in a forward direction by more than 385 mm.
6.2.2 Test method
Place the vehicle on a horizontal flat and rigid surface, secure the movement of the vehicle such that the
wheels are firmly attached to the horizontal surface preventing the vehicle from tipping over during the
test.
Place test mass D against the backrest in the middle of the seat unit with the 225 mm axis against the back
rest and attach the restraint system in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions with the seat unit
in the most upright position. Fasten any waist restraint around the torso section of test mass D so that
any slackness is removed, and the waist restraint is positioned above the leg stumps. If the crotch
restraint is adjustable, adjust it so that any slackness is removed, and the waist restraint is still positioned
above the leg stumps. Where the restraint system has shoulder straps that can be positioned on the back
of the seat unit in a range of positions, the shoulder straps shall be placed in the highest position (to
accommodate the oldest child). Place a 30 mm cuboid spacer block, made of a hard-smooth material on
each shoulder of test mass D. Adjust each shoulder strap in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions
so that any slackness is removed. Remove the spacers.

Record the origin measurement D1 on the centre top of the test mass D.
Gradually apply a horizontal tensile force of 510 N from the centre top of test mass D (D1). Apply the force
within 5 s then maintain the force for 1 min and measure the distance between point D1 and the vertical
projection with the most forward part of the vehicle. (See Figure 2.)
NOTE It is not necessary that the tensile force remains horizontal throughout the test.

6.3 Entanglement hazards
The requirements of EN 1888-1:2018, Clause 8.4, do not apply to any tether if provided.
6.4 Stability
The vehicle shall not tip over when tested in accordance with EN 1888-1:2018, Clause 8.9.1.2 and/or
EN 1888-2:2018, Clause 6.3; on the test platform inclined at 15°.
Any seat unit attachment device shall not become detached during the test.
6.5 Structural integrity
6.5.1 Irregular surface test
6.5.1.1 Requirement
When tested in accordance with 6.5.1.2 there shall be no break or deformation of any part of the product
that can impair the safety of the vehicle. Signs
