Can I make a plea to prospective parents to buy prams and/or pushchairs (secondhand if necessary) where the child faces the parent? It’s so much better for the child/parent relationship and for the child’s emotional development and learning!

we had one of those - lovely to see the child and chat to them  but fortunately the pushchair  was one that could be turned round to face the other way if needed  - first child was about 10 months and started leaning out and looking around the pushchair to see where we were going, time to change the direction...

Ah. That’s exactly the age my eldest was when she was twisting round in the pram to see where we were going (despite being ‘reined’ in). I had been lucky enough to find a secondhand pram that fitted through our narrow front door so for the first nine months or so it was great for the eye to eye contact.
