when to change the pram?

Hello! We changed our girl around at 4 months, she waaaaay better proffered it but I think the guideline was 5 months

I think I changed mine at about 5 months and she was parent facing for a very long time because she hated it the other way around.

I also changed the pram to parent facing seat at around 4 months. She was happy in the bassinet for about 10 minutes then I'd have to carry her. In the seat she could look around and still see me which seemed to please her. As long as the seat can be reclined and your girl has good head control I'd say give it a try

Changed the seat to parent facing around 5 months when he was sitting independently / had very good neck control - advice is parent facing for a while as they can become overwhelmed world facing and don’t have the choice to turn away, whereas you are obviously their happy place! X

We did something controversial and actually only had a travel pram from birth, so my little boy was forward facing from birth! However, we did use the newborn muffler until he had good head support, which was at 4 months x

We changed at 4 months. Took little one to the zoo in the pushchair attachment facing us so he could see more and just didn't change it back as he was getting on okay. I wasn't planning on changing till about 5 months but he was okay so we just kept it

I changed mine at 5 months. He no longer fitted the bassinet and absolutely hated not being able to see anything

I changed my son was he was able to sit independently so around 5 months, he was facing me for a while as I liked to see him and chat to him, pointing out things to look at and naming things ect, but when I switched him to world facing around 18 months he loved it even more, hed be waving and saying hi and bye to everyone lol

my little one moved up at 4 months because she was so nosey! would scream in the bassinet because she couldn’t see but she loves the seat and parent facing, loves being able to look around x

My girl is 3 months old and we just changed her to the seat unit and she loves it ! She weights 12 lb 9oz and she is parent facing

When she could sit up supported and started getting fussy in the bassinet

My son is 4 months and is so nosey too! I brought him a new pram the other week which is forward facing and he loves it. He’s got great head control (he’s 12lbs 9) and have been out a lot in it and he much prefers seeing the world then me. I say do it! Xx

World facing at 6m. When he was tired then I’d flip the handle around so I can see him nod off, put it on a full flat recline and pull the hood down all the way to his knees I’d have to kinda bend down a bit to see his face to see if he nodded off or not. Awake and happy looking around- world facing. He loves people watching l lol. And I figured he’s probably sick of my face 24/7 😂 Hubby did babywear when we’re out though, so maybe babywear until he can sit? That’s a good compromise maybe. We never did use the car seat on pram though (ours didn’t come out) it was bassinet 6m (occasional babywear) and then changed over to seat at 6m.

As long as it lays flat you can switch. If it doesnt lay flat then they cant until 6 months. This is just because when theyre asleep a lot of them dont have the correct head support when theyre asleep and if they dont lay flat youll have a dead baby. So just check that. If the answers yes then youre all good to switch


I kept mine in the bassinet till 6 months and just opened up the back as it had netting at the back. She loved that. Mines 2 and I still mostly face her to me rather then out (mine can switch around). Partly because it only fits in my car with the seat facing me and not the other way round. She quiet likes facing me as i do usually pulll faces, sing, dance (i probably looks nuts to every single person driving past). She loves it. I always ask her if she wants mummy or world and she usually asks for me. If im borrowing my mums ones shes forever asking to be cuddled and out unlike in mine because it faces away from me and she is my koala baby
