Posting to the CPR Kids Facebook account, paediatric nurse and mum Sarah Hunstead says parents just need to remember the acronym PRAM.

"Always make sure the baby has adequate airflow.This can be from an open pram that is not covered, back panels being opened if your pram allows for this, or using accessories designed for covering prams that either don’t cover them entirely or use mesh to support air circulation," she said.
