This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
What a buyer actually has to decide: lie-flat versus semi-recumbent for a newborn, the two-hour rule for car seats and inclined seats, EN 1888 brake and stability requirements, wheel type for gravel, snow and cobbles, folded size against a real car boot, and the rain-cover heat problem with measured temperatures. Around 16 item pages including bassinet mattress firmness, harness types, jogging prams and their minimum age, airline gate check and second-hand checks.
One focused section asks: "How long a newborn can stay in a car seat or a pram, and where the two-hour figure comes from".
How to use it
Use Prams, buggies and travel systems to understand the inputs, units and assumptions before relying on an output. A useful result should be reproducible from the named source rather than presented as an unexplained score.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
