Parent Facing
Newborn babies need a pram that has a carrycot. This is a safe place for them to sleep when they go out and it is in the direction of the parent. This lets the baby look directly at you, and you can respond quickly when they require additional reassurance.
As babies get older and enter the toddler stage, a lot of parents prefer to keep their children parent facing and use strollers that have an convertible car seat so that they can still see their parents' faces even when out and about. This is a great way for parents to connect with their child, and also provides comfort.

Babies in parent-facing buggys however, tend to be more relaxed and tend to talk on their own accord.
