AS 2088, 1st, 2022 – Prams and strollers – Safety requirements
AS 2088 was prepared by the Australian members of the joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee CS-020, Prams and Strollers, to supersede AS/NZS 2088:2013. After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this document as an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.
The objective of this document is to provide manufacturers, authorities, and others with minimum safety requirements in order to reduce the likelihood of injury to children.
The major changes in this edition are as follows:
(a) Expansion of the scope to include convertible vehicles and other vehicles designed to transport a child in a seated position and excludes certain products.
(b) Introduction of definitions for terms associated with frame fold locking.
(c) Specification of child accessible zones in the vehicle.
(d) Extension of requirements for finger entrapment hazards to include certain sizes of openings.
(e) Addition of requirements for parking brake actuators on vehicles with reversible handles.
(f) Additional testing configurations to the stability test.
(g) A new method for measuring the angle of the reclined backrest and seat.
The terms “normative” and “informative” are used in Standards to define the application of the appendices to which they apply. A “normative” appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an “informative” appendix is only for information and guidance.
