Research has revealed that children in a face-to-face buggy are more likely to chat with their parents and have fun with them than those in an away-facing buggy. Parents talked twice as much to their children in buggies with faces and infants were more likely to respond. Their heart rates were lower when they were in front of their parents and siblings, indicating that they were less stressed.

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