When should pram be forward facing? A guide for new and expectant Mums

As a new or expectant mum, one of the exciting milestones you'll encounter is transitioning your little one from facing you in the pram to facing the world. This moment marks a new chapter in your baby's development, as they begin to explore and interact with their surroundings. In this guide, we'll explore the benefits of forward-facing prams and provide helpful tips for making the transition as smooth as possible. Plus, we'll introduce you to some of our top recommendations from My Babiie, including the MB450 and MB500 Travel Systems, which offer the flexibility of both parent and world-facing seat options.

Understanding forward-facing prams

Forward-facing prams allow your baby to see the world around them as you stroll, providing them with new sights, sounds, and experiences to explore. This orientation can be particularly beneficial as your baby grows and becomes more curious about their surroundings. With a forward-facing pram, your little one can engage with the world in a whole new way, fostering their sense of curiosity and discovery.

When to transition to forward-facing

Deciding when to transition your baby to a forward-facing position in the pram is a personal choice that depends on your baby's age, developmental stage, and individual preferences. Most babies are ready to face the world in their pram around six months of age when they have developed the strength and coordination to support themselves in a seated position. However, every baby is different, so it's essential to observe your baby's cues and comfort level when making the switch.

Benefits of forward-facing prams

Forward-facing prams offer a range of benefits for both you and your baby. For your baby, facing the world in the pram provides stimulation and opportunities for exploration, helping to promote cognitive development and sensory awareness. Plus, being able to see their surroundings can help keep your baby engaged and entertained during outings. For you as a parent, a forward-facing pram allows you to interact with your baby more easily, whether you're chatting, singing, or pointing out interesting sights along the way.

Transitioning your baby to a forward-facing position in the pram can be an exciting milestone, but it's essential to approach it with care and sensitivity.
