Part 3 Added to EN for Child Care Articles – Wheeled Child Conveyances
The European Standard EN 1888 series consisted originally of 2 parts, specifying the safety requirements and test methods for pushchairs designed for the carriage of one or more children.
On 10 July 2024, European Committee for Standardization (CEN) published a Part 3 to this series referenced: EN 1888-3:2024, titled: “Child care articles - Wheeled child conveyances - Part 3: Pushchairs intended for leisure sport activities”.
This new part 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.

The series of EN 1888 is now updated as per the following list, and the documents are to be used in conjunction, not separately.
