Parents and grandparents are being warned they could be left significantly out of pocket if their car is stolen or damaged – as car seats, prams and other children’s items may not be fully covered by their insurance.

With pram travel systems often costing hundreds of pounds, and families with more than one young child needing multiple car seats, replacing such items could be costly.
