Which direction should a buggy face?

Should you buy a buggy that sees your baby looking out into the world and the stimulating things going on around her? Or is it best for your baby's development that she looks at you when she's in her pushchair, so you can chatter away face-to-face? Well, there’s now a whole generation of versatile buggies that will give you the best of both worlds, converting from rear to forward facing pushchair and back again.

Some forward facing only buggies let your create a rear facing option by attaching a carrycot or car seat. However, having an option with a reversible seat means whatever age your child, you can choose the seat facing direction that'll work for you. It also means you don't fork out on a carrycot or car seat unless you really want to.

Click through to see our top 10 pick of rear and forward facing buggies.

If you want to know more about the issues surrounding the direction your buggy and baby face, check out our story forward or parent facing - which pushchair should you choose?
