As the UK continues to swelter in hot temperatures and muggy conditions, many parents will be looking for ways to keep their children cool.
Since Tuesday, the country has faced sweltering conditions and "tropical nights", where night-time temperatures do not fall below 20C.
Mums and dads are being alerted to dangerous mistake made with prams in the summertime, reports the Liverpool Echo.
In 2018, researchers found covering a pram to shade a child from the sunlight, even with a thin muslin cloth, had the effect of creating a "furnace-like heat".
Kidspot reported that the Swedish researchers said the cloth reduced air circulation.
Svante Norgren, a paediatrician at a children's hospital in Stockholm, 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.
