Studies have shown that infants who travel in buggies with their parents have lower heart rates and also fall asleep more quickly than babies in buggies that face away. This is due to the fact that infants are more in contact with their parents.

Eye-contact

It's widely recognised that babies and toddlers learn best through eye contact. This gives them the chance to absorb the world around them, and is a key aspect of their development as a cognitive child. So, when choosing a pushchair for your little one, you may want to consider a model that is geared towards parents.

It's not only good for bonding with your child, but also their development in cognitive ability and overall health. In a recent research, it was found that infants who were facing their parents were more likely to engage in vocal conversations and start conversations - and their heart rates dipped significantly more than infants sitting in a forward-facing buggy.

This means that a child-facing pushchair can provide a calm and safe environment that helps your baby to develop trust and confidence, so that they can relax and enjoy their outings. You can also monitor your baby's signals and responses so you can respond quickly to their needs, whether that's an reassuring hug or a snack, drink, or reassurance they are secure.

Direct eye contact with your baby helps you to read their facial expressions and body language. This is important because it can indicate whether your baby is tired, hungry, or unhappy. You can react in a way that makes them happy and satisfied.

Of of course, if your baby decides that they're not in the mood to make eye contact, it's okay. Often, when they glance away, it's because they need a break from the stimulation that is your face, and instead prefer to concentrate on other aspects of their surroundings.

In research, babies in buggies facing forward were twice as likely as children facing the parent to engage in conversation and even to respond. The babies in strollers that face each other were also found to have lower heart rates and fall more easily to sleep than babies in forward-facing pushchairs that indicates higher levels of contentment and relaxation.

But, it's important to keep in mind that the world around your child is a constant source of stimulation and that it can be overwhelming for some young children. They'll love to listen to you and stare at your face, but it's best to let them explore their surroundings on their own. This will help them be able to appreciate the beauty of their surroundings, and they'll feel more confident to explore the area with you.

Many parents slowly switch their child from a parent-facing pushchair to a street facing pushchair. This lets them explore the world at their own pace.

Interaction

Pushchairs that face the parent enable you to talk with your child throughout the journey. They can see and hear you, which gives them the feeling of security and closeness. This may reduce anxiety about separation when they are away at home or school. This could also aid in their cognitive development and aid in their language acquisition since they learn from your facial expressions.

If your child is unable to look away from you while in their foldable pushchair It doesn't mean that they don't care about what's happening around them; it is simply an opportunity for them to stop and process the flood of information that is occurring while they are exploring their surroundings. They may then return to you for encouragement and peace.

The ability to see your baby's reaction to world around them from a pushchair with a parent's view is vital, especially when they are tired or hungry and require you to feed them. You can respond quickly and efficiently and make trips more enjoyable for both of you.

Research has shown that babies who are in a buggy with their parents are more likely than those facing away to talk to and laugh with them. Parents were found to engage with their children twice as much when they were in a face-toface buggy, and babies were more likely to chat with their parents back. Their heart rates were lower if they were facing their parents, suggesting they were less stressed.

Dr Suzanne Zeedyk carried out a small study with 20 babies who were wheeled in pushchairs over a one mile stretch in Dundee; half of the infants took an away-facing journey and the other half was in a face-to-face buggy. The results showed that infants fell asleep more easily and their heart rate dropped more often when they were in pushchairs with the parents. She concluded that the lack communication and interaction with parents in buggies that were not facing them had a negative effect on the infants' mental and physical development.

The results of this study have been misinterpreted and can cause unnecessary anxiety for parents who are new to the world. Heart rate is not an accurate indicator of stress and can be affected in a variety of ways, such as excitement or enjoyment. It's important for parents to not worry about their baby's heart rate when they travel using a pushchair.

Safety

When babies are in a parent facing pushchair they can feel safe and secure when they go out. This is especially crucial for infants who are new to the world and can be easily overwhelmed. The security of knowing that their parents are close by can encourage them to explore, but with the knowledge that they aren't alone.

If the pushchair is facing the parent, it's much easier for parents to talk with their children. This interaction can be fun for both parents and is more exciting when the little one starts to talk about things they see around them. It is beneficial to encourage this, as it can help build language skills and the necessary bond.

Some parents choose to keep their child in a pushchair with a parent until they reach the age of nine months, when they can change to a stroller that faces forward. For many this is an easy transition, as the youngster will still enjoy the closeness and connection with their parents. This is not an issue, as there are plenty versatile buggies that can adapt to the changing needs of a child, with some offering reversible seats that allow the seat to be switched between the parent and the world.

For example the iCandy Pegasus 3 in One provides a simple way to switch between parent and world-facing, so that parents can chat with their child face-to–face or let them explore the sights of the street with their attention. This makes the iCandy an ideal choice for families.
