Pram left in the sun for 20 minutes heats up to dangerous level
The footage shows how a buggy covered with a light blanket can turn into a boiling oven after only 20 minutes with temperatures reaching almost 40c.
Experts have warned parents about the lethal consequence of covering up a child's pram as it could be put them more at risk of heatstroke or sudden infant death syndrome.
Former Paediatrician and now forensic scientist and specialist in child deaths, Torleiv Ole Rognum, cautioned parents against using blankets to create shade from the blistering sun.

He told Tv2: "Don't put a blanket over the pram. It quickly becomes too hot for the child and may even result in the death of the child.
"The children must have sufficient access to fresh air... children can become very hot and not be able breathe."
As babies are unable to regulate their body temperature they are more vulnerable to overheating, which could lead to heatstroke and cot death, a condition that kills just under 300 babies in the UK each year.

Mr Rognum added that people who see covered prams should address it in a polite manner.
He said: "We must dare to speak out... in an orderly way when we think someone is doing something completely wrong."
Swedish researchers have also issued stark warnings after a study revealed that a pram which had been left covered in the sun was 15 degrees hotter than one which was left uncovered.
At the time, Paediatrician Svante Norgren said: "It gets extremely hot down in the pram, something like a thermos.
"There is also bad circulation of the air and it is hard to see the baby with a cover over the pram."
The paediatrician at Stockholm's Astrid Lindgren Children's hospital continued: "It would quickly become uncomfortable and potentially dangerous for the child... if a child gets too hot then the child may think that it is back in the womb, which is why breathing may stop."
