A recently published study suggests that babies riding in outward-facing strollers are significantly less likely to laugh, “talk”, and positively interact with their caregivers than those in baby strollers facing the pusher. The study was conducted by Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, Developmental Psychologist at Dundee University’s School of Psychology. Zeedyk asserts that the emotional isolation and poor verbal interaction experienced by babies in outward-facing strollers carries serious, negative implications for babies’ brain development.
