Front trolley is not good for children

Trolleys that drive the young face forward may interfere with the normal development of the child and cause them to grow into anxious people, a study has revealed.

The team found babies were more stressed and sometimes "traumatized" in modern strollers that made them face away from their parents.

Children find it difficult to get the attention of their parents and rarely hear their parents talk, while at this stage they are thirsty to interact with language and emotions.

In contrast, children who are pushed by their parents in traditional strollers are present inward, often smiling, listening to their mothers talking and sleeping, showing that their stress levels are low.

Dr. Suzanne Zeedyk, a development psychologist at Dundee University, who conducted the study, said: "Our data shows that for many babies, life in a baby car is very lacking in affection and can be stressful Stressful babies will grow into anxious people. "

Children in the UK spend an average of 2 hours a day in a stroller from birth until age 3, the study said.

The majority of parents use modern strollers with their faces facing forward in the traditional way of thinking that children like to look around.

In the first study of psychological effects of cribs, Suzanne Zeedyk's team observed more than 2,700 parents across the UK. They found that the parents talked twice as much with their children if they used a car to guide their young faces to them. Conversely, children have to actively talk more parents. Children lying in vehicles facing forward often fail to attract the attention of their parents.

"For these kids, a stroll with a baby carriage can make them stressed or hurt. If parents don't easily see their face, they may not realize how sad their child is."

In addition, in a small study of more than 20 babies pushed around a city center, half facing the front, and the other half facing the pusher. As a result, only 1 baby laughed loudly on the walk while facing the front, while in the other group, the number of children laughing was half.

Researchers say the interaction between parents and children is extremely important at the time when the connections in the brain are dividing very rapidly. These links increase 20 times between ages 2 and 3, faster than any stage in life.
