In 2018, researchers in Sweden found covering a pram to shade a child from the sunlight - even with a thin muslin cloth - actually has the effect of creating a 'furnace-like heat' within the pram.
Kidspot reported researchers in Sweden suggest that by covering up a pram – even with a thin cloth like a muslin wrap – actually creates heat within the pram, reducing the air circulation.
Svante Norgren, a paediatrician at a children's hospital in Stocklholm, told Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet: "It gets extremely hot down in the pram, something like a thermos.

"There is also bad circulation of the air and it is hard to see the baby with a cover over the pram."
Young children, who are more likely to be in prams, are more sensitive to heat than their older siblings or parents - as their body temperature can rise as much as five times faster.
By way of testing the theory, the newspaper did their own little experiment.
Without a cover, the temperature inside a pram left out in the heat was 22 degrees.
When a thin cover was put over it for half an hour, the temperature shot up to 34 degrees, finally reaching 37 degrees after an hour.
