Their heart rates were lower when they were in front of their parents and moms which suggests that they were less stressed.

Dr Suzanne Zeedyk carried out a small study with 20 babies who were wheeled in pushchairs across a one mile stretch in Dundee The majority of the infants took an away-facing journey and the other half was in an in-face buggy. She found that babies fell asleep easier and their heart rates dropped more frequently when they were in pushchairs facing the parents.
