Information for hard floors
Felt pads are essential for all hard floors (e.g. wood, stone, tile etc.) when using the Pram Sled®.
However, for non scratch resistant floors, there is a chance you may still notice gradual wear from using the Pram Sled® over time. This is due to the ordinary effect that even small amounts of pre-existing dirt can have.
While this is consistent with any general wear & tear advice, the overall result will be much improved compared to the more severe damage done by not using any floor protection.
This is easy to see why. If left exposed, any dirt on the wheels will be rolled onto the floor then stepped on as the pram is brought into the home. Not only does this create a lot of avoidable mess, but the grit from the mud is being squashed straight into the floor. This has potential to cause significant damage even after just one trip out.
To protect your floor, the Pram Sled® is designed with a twin-layer of cushioning. This protects against damage caused by dirt on the wheels. It's also a barrier to keep the mud contained (so the floor stays much cleaner!) and it catches the rainwater too (which reduces the risk of water damage to the floor).
If you have combination of floor types (e.g. hard floor hallway and carpeted living room), putting down a long rug to span the length of the hard floor can be a great way to allow the Pram Sled® to slide all the way.
