If you are storing a pram, or even just covering it, then don't do as a friend of mine did and cover it with a blanket! The navy hood and apron on her pram are now covered in tiny fibres from a cream blanket she used to cover the pram. Yes, it is a good idea to cover the hood and apron to prevent them fading, if they are not going to be used for a while, but use a sheet instead of a blanket. Polythene will make the pram "sweat" and may encourage mould so a sheet is the best idea, unless you want to go the expense of buying a specially made cover.
