Owners of the Bugaboo Bee or other both parent and front facing prams

[someoldgirl]

At what age did you turn LO round to face outwards in the bee or equivalent? x

Phoebe is still facing me although I have a lightweight forward facing buggy I've used occaisionly from birth. I'll be keeping her facing me as long as she'll put up with looking at me lol

 

[Miss_Bump]

I've only just recently turned Evie

Fran is still facing me in the Ultima, but we do have a forward facing buggy we use occasionally too xx

I still have Holly facing me, so I can see if she's getting up to mischief. If we go to an indoor shopping centre or something, I forward face her, but she tries to nick things off shelves

I had Tom facing me in the Streety until 10 months then turned him FF. Found I really missed chatting to him so turned him back PF from 13 to 15 months. Since then he's been FF only and is quite happy, plus its much easier for him to climb in and out of the pushchair himself now.

I had Fin parent-facing the whole time in the My3 we had from birth, but we recently bought a Bee+ for me to keep in my car, and he always goes forward facing in that. I was very into all the research that's been done on parent/forward facing and the impact on language, but he's much more settled front-facing, and frequently turns around to "tell" me things. Because the Bee is so minimal, he can see me quite easily when he turns around. He's only ever in there for quite short periods, and I jabber on that much to him the rest of the time, he's probably glad of the break when he goes in his pushchair!x x

We have the ICandy Cherry and I still have Molly face me...we chat away, she sleeps better that way etc. I put her in a forward facing stroller at 9 months though when we went to Legoland and she seemed fine in that.

i pf archie until 18 months it may be coincidence but his talking for 2.5 is very advanced oscar is parent facing in our bee+ atm

 

[Birdling]

I just swap him around depending on his mood. If he's tired or grumpy, he faces me. If he's awake and interested, he faces out.

I did the same as Birdling when I used my Oyster. Changing the way she was facing was really easy, so I'd just swap as necessary. These days she mainly walks (or we babywear), but we do have a forward-facing lightweight pushchair (Quicksmart Easyfold) which she's perfectly happy in if necessary.

 

[SophiasMummy]

I just started putting my LO ff but still switch back every so often, if she want something from me she will turn round and get my attention x

 

[Aunty E]

I much prefer to have them both facing me if possible. Imogen started forward facing at around 18 months, but if I can take the big pushchair, I keep her looking at me

 

[Natsku]

I still have Maria facing me. I tried forward facing her yesterday but it felt so weird cos I couldn't see her face.

 

[bumpy89]

I still have LO facing me. I love being able to see and chat to him. We do also have a lightweight stroller thats forward facing but I rarely use it.

 

[lozzy21]

Niamh is 10 months old and shes still facing me, i plan on having her facing me untill she can climb in and out herself.

We also have a lightweight stroller that faces fowards which we use if were going in some ones car but i hate it. I cant see her and all she can see it peoples arses.

At 15 months Daniel still faces me in the big pushchair.
We also have a light weight stroller that he forward faces in, but I much prefer him to face me. I think he talks/babbles more when he can see me.

 

[Odd Socks]

bella's about half & half. she didn't really go forward facing until she was a year. but she's so rarely in the pushchair as i'm usually wearing her.

Stan is the opposite. I think he is bored of his mama. He has been straining to see out from about 4m so i turned him. He loves reaching out for things. he also leans forward and looks up at me. the other day i found he had caught a leaf and he presented it to me. he talks just as much if not more. he hated being in the pram so we sat him up at 3m. that helped but he was still fussy so we turned him. i miss looking at him but he is happier. if he was happy to stare at me all day i would never turn him. lol
