How to Choose a Pram Liner: The Key Things to Know

Choose a pram liner made from natural sheepskin or wool that breathes, fits your pram's 3 or 5-point harness, and is easy to care for. Breathability matters most: a liner that traps heat can leave babies sweaty, uncomfortable and too warm.

Key facts

  • Babies who get too hot are at higher risk of SIDS (The Lullaby Trust).
  • Sheepskin can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture before it feels wet (Woolmark).
  • While sheepskin is naturally breathable, many sheepskin pram liners use a solid backing, which limits airflow through the wool. The Little H&H Sheepskin Pram Liner changes that thanks to our WoolFlo™ technology: strategic ventilation and perforations.

5 things to look for in a pram liner

  1. Natural fibres. Real sheepskin regulates temperature; polyester fleece traps heat.
  2. A breathable backing. Look for ventilation that lets air move through the wool and allows any heat build-up to disperse.
  3. Harness compatibility. Check it works with 3 and 5-point harnesses.
  4. Universal fit. It should sit flat in your pram, buggy or pushchair without bunching.
  5. Easy care. Good sheepskin needs little more than a shake and a brush.

Why the backing matters

Sheepskin breathes, but a solid backing stops it working. That's why we designed WoolFlo™, a ventilation system for the Little H&H Sheepskin Pram Liner, independently tested by Intertek.

Exceptional softness for comfortable, non-irritated infants

Our Sheepskin Pram Liners use the same ultra-soft, premium New Zealand sheepskin found across Hyde & Hare's much loved New Zealand sheepskin collection. Renowned for its softness, it's luxurious to the touch and cloud-like in texture - perfect for delicate newborn skin.

Quick answers

Sheepskin or shearling: which is better?
Both are 100% natural and breathable. Choose by look and feel: sheepskin is plush and smooth, shearling has a soft, curly texture.

Can I use a sheepskin pram liner from birth?
Yes, if it's designed for newborns and secured with the harness. Keep your baby on their back and check they're not too warm. Little H&H's pram liners can be used from birth.

Want a liner that ticks all five? The Little H&H Sheepskin WoolFlo™ Pram Liner was designed around them.
