Top pram races around the world are family friendly events (sort of carnivals); these are for fun and not to be taken too seriously.
Pram races are attended by many, with competitors in full competitive spirit, they take so much time and trouble to set everything up (dressing up themselves as well as their prams).
Some of these can be ideal family days out, and are usually colorful, exciting, and even quirky.
Participants also decorate their prams; some even make their own prams (most events have prizes for the Best Dressed Prams). Fancy dress is encouraged.
In some races, kids are not allowed to be seated in the pram, for safety reasons.
Prizes are awarded to winning teams and also the best pimped-out buggies.
