“Rather than covering the pram, keep baby cool by avoiding going out in the middle of the day, which tends to be the hottest time or time with the highest UV rays. If you have no option, shade your baby in the pram or stroller with an umbrella, sit under a tree, or stay in shaded areas to protect your baby from the sun while ensuring good airflow.” Recommendations for Darwin climate appreciated. Upward of 30 degreesC during daylight year around and +70% humidity for wet season. Thank you

Information provided by Red Nose is not State specific, but applies to alll States/Territories throughout the year.
Even on cool days temperature within a covered pram can increase by small amounts - the hotter the day, the greater the risk of baby’s environment heating up.
