Our in-house developed high quality fabrics
An Emmaljunga pram is designed to be used for many years. Our fabrics have to withstand cold winters, hot summers, rainy autumns plus children's dirty boots and sticky fingers!
As a manufacturer of high quality products in Scandinavia since 1925, we have a long experience of coping with tough weather conditions and have therefore developed our own fabrics to withstand these conditions. After all, children need to spend 'playtime' outdoors so developing fabrics to cope with these demands is vital. We dare to say that Emmaljunga pram fabrics are in a class of their own.
Protex™
All of our prams from the Model Year 2011 collection (except the Smart and leatherette prams) feature ProtexTM fabrics. Protex fabrics are not only dirt repellant and highly water repellant, but they also protect against the sun, wind and cold conditions. Feel the fabric, drip a little water on it, so you can see what Protex is all about. You will appreciate the full benefits when your child insists on playing outside despite the bad weather, or when you are caught out by a sudden downpour of rain! Even though most of our prams are equipped with ProtexTM fabrics, which are highly water repellant, we still recommend that you use a raincover when the rain is heavy and persistent. This is to avoid stains appearing on the inner lining caused by the rain mixing with dirt and pushing through the seams in the pram's fabrics. It is also important that you dry and air the pram thoroughly if it gets wet to keep your pram fresh.
Leatherette
This model year our range features exclusive leatherette fabrics in 3 designs (Creme Leatherette, White Leatherette and Charleston). This is a very strong and modern material. Dirt can be removed easily by using a wet cloth and a drop of mild fabric detergent.
Light fastness
All outer fabrics are tested and certified according to BS EN ISO 105-B04:1993. Emmaljunga places very high demands for light fastness on its products. To keep the colours of your pram looking fresh you should try to avoid placing the pram in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Please note! No fabric will remain unaffected after exposure to UV radiation, bad weather and wind.
No harmful substances
All our materials are tested according to EN1888 and EN71, Part 3:1995 and against AZO colouring substances, to ensure that no harmful substances exist in the fabrics. All our fabrics are tested thoroughly through accredited laboratories to comply with the EU regulations.
UV-Protection 50+
We have had our base outer fabrics tested according to an Australian/NZ standard concerning UV protection. The fabrics handle a UPF (Ultra-violet Protection factor) of 50+ against UPF and UVB radiation. This means that only 1/50 rays goes through the fabrics. The fabrics protects against 98% of UV-radiation and your child gets a very high protection against the sun from our hoods and parasols.
Polar Performance
Emmaljunga prams are built to withstand cold and harsh conditions. Features such as our Thermobase carrycot base, Protex fabrics and accessories including wind resistant aprons, are just a few examples of how Emmaljunga equips its products to protect children against cold and wet weather. You could say that Emmaljunga prams are fit to perform under polar conditions. This year we have released a new sport line called "Polar Performance". This range features a sporty design with strong zippers and is available on many of our stroller models with powder coated chassis in coordinating colours. For the Polar Performance collection we have also designed a new practical backpack accessory in coordinating colours, ideal for these sporty prams and strollers.
