Pram Liner Options for Hot Weather
If you've ever pushed a hot, grumpy baby around in the heat, you'll know that keeping them cool in the pram is easier said than done.
Babies can't regulate their own temperature the way adults can, which means what's in their pram matters much more than you might think. The right liner makes a real difference. To help you out, we are sharing our two favourite summer materials for pushchair liners: sheepskin liners and cotton liners.
Sheepskin is a brilliant pram liner material for summer
It sounds counterintuitive - but sheepskin is one of the best materials you can put in a pram in hot weather.
Sheepskin is naturally thermostatic. The same wool fibres that trap warmth in winter actively wick moisture away from baby's skin in summer, preventing that sticky, sweaty feeling that makes babies so uncomfortable in the heat. Unlike synthetic materials, sheepskin breathes - it allows air to circulate rather than trapping heat against baby's body.
Our lighter shorn hair styles are particularly good for summer. The pile is shorter and less dense, sits closer to baby, and the natural pale colours (milk, white, honey) reflect rather than absorb heat.
Which sheepskin liner to choose for summer?
For summer, the shorn hair styles work best - shorter pile, less dense, and lovely lighter tones like Milk, White or Pale Honey reflect rather than absorb heat.
If you have a pram with a 5-point harness, the pram style liner is your fit. If you have a buggy-style seat with a 3-point harness (like a Bugaboo, Cybex or travel system in buggy mode), the buggy style liner is the one to go for.
All Baa Baby sheepskin is OEKO-TEX certified and medically tanned - independently verified as safe for baby skin, which matters especially in summer when skin is more exposed.
Not sure which fits your exact pram?
What about cotton pram liners for the summer?
Cotton is a great breathable, natural alternative if sheepskin isn't for you. Look for lightweight, light-coloured cotton and avoid anything padded or quilted - padding traps heat. The downside is that cotton doesn't wick moisture the way sheepskin does, so on really warm days you may still find baby gets clammy.
We know there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to your pram so we are delighted to offer you the choice of a buggy or pram fit to make sure you pick the perfect cooling liner
