Why Choose a Parent Facing Pushchair?

If you're in search of a stroller that lets your child face you when out and about, our selection of strollers with a parent-facing feature is the ideal choice. They're also available as double versions with independently rectors.

Studies have shown that infants who travel in buggies with their parents have lower heart rates and fall asleep earlier than babies in buggies that face away. This is because infants have more eye contact with their parents.

Eye-contact

It is generally accepted that babies and toddlers are best able to learn from eye contact. This gives them the chance to absorb all the things around them and is an essential aspect of their development as a cognitive child. When selecting a child's pushchair, you may want to consider one that is facing the parent.

It's not only good for bonding with your child, but also for their cognitive development and overall well-being. In a recent study it was found that babies who were facing their parents were much more likely to speak up and engage in conversation. Moreover, their heart rates decreased significantly more than infants sitting in a forward-facing buggy.

A pushchair that is positioned in the parent's face creates a nurturing environment for your child and allows them to unwind and enjoy their outings. It also gives you the opportunity to read your baby's cues and responses, meaning you can respond quickly to their needs - whether that be a comforting cuddle, a drink or snack, or simply to assure them that they are safe and sound.

Being able to see your baby makes it easier to read their body language and facial expressions. This is crucial because it can indicate that they're tired, hungry or unhappy and allows you to react appropriately and, in turn, make them happier and more content.

If your child doesn't want to make eye contact, that's okay too. If they turn away, it's usually because they want an escape from your gaze. They'd rather concentrate on other things around them.

In research, babies in buggies that face forward facing pushchair were twice as likely as those facing the parent to engage in conversation and respond. Baby strollers with a face-to-face feature were also found to have lower heart rates and fall more easily to sleep than babies in pushchairs with a forward-facing view, which is a sign of increased levels of happiness and relaxation.

It's important to remember that the world around you is constantly a source for stimulation, and this can be overwhelming for young children. They'll love to listen to you and look at your face, but it's best to let them explore their surroundings on their own. This will allow them to recognize the beauty of their surroundings and they'll feel more confident to explore with you nearby.

Many parents choose to slowly switch from a parent-facing to a pushchair with a street view which lets their child explore the outside world at their own pace. This can be a fun way to assist them in transitioning to the new stage without feeling overwhelmed. You could also choose to buy a reversible stroller like the Cosatto To & Fro which can be used both the world-facing or parent-facing mode.

Interaction

Parent-facing pushchairs allow you to engage with your baby throughout the journey. They will be able to see and hear you, which gives them an impression of security and intimacy. This may reduce their anxiety over separation when they are away at school or at home. This can also aid in their cognitive development and language acquisition because they can watch your facial expressions and learn from how you respond to different situations.

If your child is looking away from you in their pushchair, it does not mean that they are not interested in what's happening around them. It is simply a means for them to take a time out and process all the information they're absorbing while exploring their surroundings. The child might return to you later for comfort and reassurance.

The ability to see your baby's reaction to world around them from a parent-facing pushchair is invaluable particularly when they are tired or hungry and require you to feed them. You can respond to their needs quicker and effectively. This can make your outings more enjoyable.

Research has shown that babies who are in a buggy with their parents are more likely than children facing away to talk and laugh with them. Parents spoke twice as much to their children when they were in buggies that face each other and the babies were more likely to respond. Their heart rates were lower when they were in front of their parents, which suggests they were less stressed.

Dr Suzanne Zeedyk conducted a small study in Dundee with 20 infants in pushchairs. Half of the infants were facing away, while the other half were in a buggy facing them. She observed that babies fell asleep faster and their heart rates dropped more often when they were in pushchairs with the parents. She concluded that the absence of interaction and communication with parents in buggies that are not facing them was having a negative impact on the infant's mental and physical development.

The findings of this study have been misinterpreted and can cause excessive anxiety for parents of newborns. Heart rate isn't an accurate indicator of stress and can be affected in many ways, including excitement and enjoyment. It is crucial parents not to worry about their baby's heart rate when they travel using a pushchair.

Safety

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

It is also easier for parents to interact with their children while they are in a pushchair that is geared towards parents. This type of interaction can be enjoyable for both parents, and it is even more thrilling when the young child starts talking, naming the things they observe around them. It is a great idea to encourage this because it will help develop language skills and build that crucial bond.

Some parents prefer to keep their child in the pushchair facing their parents until they reach the age of nine months. At the age of nine, they can switch over to a stroller facing forward. For many, this is a straightforward transition because the child will appreciate the closeness and bond with their parents. This is not an issue as there are plenty of flexible buggies that can be adapted to the changing needs of children and even include convertible seats that allow the seat to switch between the child's side and the parent's.

For instance, the iCandy Pegasus 3 in One allows for a simple switch between parent and world-facing, so that parents can talk to their child face-to-face or let them discover the sights of the city with their attention. This makes the iCandy popular with families.

Another option is the Silver Cross Sleepover Elegance, which Kate Middleton opted for with Prince George when he was born.

It comes in a range of colors, and with a choice of styles for the hood, it is certain to complement your style.
