Prams and strollers are commonly used in daily childcare. We aim to study the type and severity of injuries associated with prams and strollers in an Asian population. We performed a retrospective review of children below the age of 6 who presented to a tertiary paediatric hospital in Singapore, from January 2012 to June 2015, with such injuries. There were 248 pram-related and stroller-related injuries. The median age was 12.5 months old. 69 (27.8%) sustained open wounds, 17 (6.9%) suffered fractures or dislocations and 2 children had significant head injuries. 29 patients (11.7%) sustained injuries while on stairs or escalators. Most of the injuries (197 cases, 79.4%) occurred despite adult supervision. The need for intervention was associated with older age and entrapment injuries (p<0.001). Only appropriately sized prams and strollers without exposed hinges should be used. These should not be deployed on stairs and escalators.
婴儿车和婴儿手推车在日常育儿中普遍使用。我们旨在研究亚洲人群中与婴儿车和婴儿手推车相关的损伤类型及严重程度。我们对2012年1月至2015年6月期间在新加坡一家三级儿科医院就诊的6岁以下因此类损伤前来的儿童进行了回顾性研究。共有248例与婴儿车和婴儿手推车相关的损伤。中位年龄为12.5个月。69例（27.8%）有开放性伤口，17例（6.9%）发生骨折或脱位，2名儿童有严重头部损伤。29例患者（11.7%）在楼梯或自动扶梯上受伤。尽管有成人监护，大多数损伤（197例，79.4%）仍发生。需要干预与年龄较大和被困损伤相关（p<0.001）。应仅使用尺寸合适且无外露铰链的婴儿车和婴儿手推车。这些不应在楼梯和自动扶梯上使用。
