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.
This document 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 this document.
If the pushchair is intended for children up to 22 kg, compliance with EN 1888-2:2018+A1:2022 is
mandatory to comply with this document.
1 Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements of pushchairs when used for running/jogging or
skating (excluding ice skating), intended for the transport of one or two children up to 15 or 22 kg each.
Pushchairs intended to transport the carer while pushing (e.g. the combination of longboard and
stroller) are excluded from the scope of this document.
This document applies in conjunction with and in addition to the European standards
EN 1888-1:2018+A1:2022 or EN 1888-2:2018+A1:2022 and it cannot be used separately.
If the product has several functions or can be converted into another function, the relevant European
standards apply to it.

the stroller.
Figure 1 — Stop
5.2 Test platform
Test surface, capable of inclination at an angle of 9° (0/+0,5)°, 12° (0/+0,5)° or 45° (0/+0,5)° to the
horizontal and covered with aluminium oxide paper of grade 80.
6 Mechanical hazards
6.1 Suitability for use (see A.2)
6.1.1 Requirements
The vehicle shall be fitted with a footrest.
There shall be no protruding rigid objects that are not padded or unprotected 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 (see A.2).
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 (see EN 1888-1:2018+A1:2022, 5.1.3) 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.
Repeat the test using test mass H (see EN 1888-2:2018+A1:2022, Clause 5) if the product allows the
usage for child up to 22 kg.
For the purpose of the test, the mass shall be properly attached to the seat unit, using the straps of the
restraint system. To achieve this and for better reproducibility additional means of attachment can be
used as well, without impairing the result of the test.
Position the vehicle as shown in Figure 2.
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 (see A.3)
The pushchair shall be fitted with a restraint system: the restraint system shall comprise at least a crotch
restraint and shoulder restraints.
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 and shall function as intended.
When tested in accordance with 6.2.2 the original point D1 of test mass D (see
EN 1888-2:2018+A1:2022, 5.1.5) shall not exceed the vertical projection line of the front of the front
wheel during the test.
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 tallest 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 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 check whether the point D1 passes beyond the
vertical projection line of the front of the front wheel (See Figure 3).
For test purposes, a hook of negligible mass can be added at the test mass D.
NOTE It is not necessary that the tensile force remain horizontal throughout the test.

6.5.2 Wheels
6.5.2.1 Requirements
These requirements replace the requirements of EN 1888-1:2018+A1:2022, 8.10.5.
Any swivelling function of the wheels shall be lockable or the wheels shall not be swivelling.
After testing in accordance with 6.5.2.2.3, 6.5.2.2.4 and 6.5.2.2.5, removable swivel assemblies or fixed
wheels shall remain attached to the axle and the wheel assembly shall function as intended. Wheels
contained on both sides by a fork are exempt from 6.5.2.2.3 and 6.5.2.2.4.
Any removable-wheel fork assembly(s) shall incorporate an additional retention device and shall be so
designed as to prevent unintended detachment of the wheel or fork assembly from the vehicle when
tested in accordance with 6.5.2.2.5. Additional retention devices are excluded for wheels or fork
assemblies that require the use of tools for installation or removal.
6.5.2.2 Test methods
6.5.2.2.1 General
Test one rear and one front wheel for detachment from an axle in accordance with 6.5.2.2.2 and
6.5.2.2.3 for non-swivel wheel assemblies and with 6.5.2.2.4 for swivel wheel assemblies.
Test removable-wheel fork assembly in accordance with 6.5.2.2.5
6.5.2.2.2 Test method for non-swivel wheels
Secure the vehicle on an elevated surface so that a hanging weight may be applied to the vehicle’s wheel
without impeding their removal. Hang a 45 kg weight on the wheel along the axle centre line so that it
pulls against the wheel fastener, Figure 4a. The weight may be applied by means of a fixture/clamping
device that can be adjusted to fit different size wheels.
The fixture/clamping device shall be made to minimize damage to the wheel and to not impede the
force being applied through the wheel to the fastener. Gradually apply the weight within a period of 5 s
and then rotate the wheel clockwise 360°, then counter clockwise 360° for 10 cycles (1 cycle equals
turning 1 time clockwise 360° and 1 time counter clockwise 360°), Figure 5.
Each cycle shall not be less than 12 s or greater than 18 s.
