Eye-contact

It's well-known that babies and toddlers learn the most from eye contact. It gives them the opportunity to absorb everything around them and is an essential element in their development as a cognitive child. When selecting a child's pushchair, you may want to look at one that faces the parent.

Not only does it allow you bond with your child, but it can also benefit their development as a person and overall wellbeing.

Direct eye contact with your baby can assist you in reading their facial expressions, and body language. This is important because it can indicate whether your baby is tired, hungry, or unhappy. You can then react accordingly to make them happy and content.

If your child looks away from you in their pushchair, it doesn't mean they're not interested in the world around them.

Research has proven that children in a face-to-face buggy pushchair are more likely to chat with their parents and laugh with them than children in a buggy that is away from them. Parents talked twice as much to their children when they were in the face-to-face buggies and the babies were more likely to respond. Their heart rates were lower when they were in front of their parents, suggesting they were less stressed.

Dr Suzanne Zeedyk carried out a small-scale study of 20 babies who were wheeled in pushchairs for a mile stretch in Dundee Half of the infants took an away-facing trip, while the other half were in an in-face buggy. The results showed that babies fell asleep faster and their heart rates dropped more often when they were in pushchairs with their parents. She concluded that the lack of communication and interaction with parents in away-facing buggies could have a negative impact on the infants' physical and mental development.

The findings of this study have been widely misinterpreted and can cause unnecessary anxiety for new parents. The use of heart rate as a measure of stress is not reliable and can be affected by a variety of factors like excitement or joy; therefore, it's important parents don't become too concerned about their infants' heart rates during a stroller ride.
