Thick straps
The thick straps of the pram bag offer support for heavy loads, reducing strain on the shoulder. To ensure maximum comfort, a great strap should be adjustable and cushioned. In addition, the straps should be wide enough to spread the weight evenly across both shoulders. This is crucial to avoid injury and discomfort on long commutes.
Straps for changing bags for babies can be made of recycled nylon or leather. The latter comes from the discarded fishing nets which are otherwise discarded in our oceans. It is also extremely robust, which makes it a sustainable choice for the environment and babies.
Straps with thick padding are a crucial feature of backpacks and you can select between straps that have binding or those without it. Straps that have binding tend to be flatter and can be used with high density thin foam. Straps made of thinner material are ideal for lighter load or shorter trips. On the other hand, straps without binding are more comfortable for longer push chairs and prams heavier trips.
A good strap starts with a piece of webbing that is the same width as the hardware. This is usually two rectangle rings or if the strap is going to be able to be removed, a pair of D-rings, and an swivel clip. The webbing is then inserted into the tabs for the strap sliders and then stitch it in the appropriate position. You can make the straps more comfy by adding padding. To do this, sew a layer soft cotton jersey or fleece over the webbing. This stops the strap from rubbing against the skin and looks more appealing than the airmesh that irritates you that is commonly found on fashion packs.
Easy to clean
It's easy to overlook emptying the baskets of your pram, especially if you're constantly moving. To make it easier to keep your pram clean, select one that has an enclosed pram bag that is easy to wipe down. Select a design that is made of non-toxic and safe for babies materials that has been tested and complies with International Standards REACH & CSPC.
To achieve the best results, you should disassemble parts of fabric that can be removed, such as the seat or canopy of your pram bag prior to washing. Start with a vigorous shake to remove loose dirt and debris, then soak in warm water and baby-safe laundry detergent for 30 minutes. Rinse well and let the clothes dry away from direct sunlight which can fade colours. If there are persistent stains scrub them off with an old toothbrush to get rid of them. Alternately, you can machine wash your bag according to the instructions of the manufacturer and dry it by air.
