What to do with this activity?

If you can, have your baby facing you in the buggy. One study in Scotland has shown that parents using face-to-face buggies were twice as likely to talk to their baby when they were out and about. Parents and babies laughed more often in face-to-face buggies. If your child is not facing you in the buggy, keep talking to your child and take time to let them respond to you, as much as you can.

You can introduce your child to the world by talking to them about everything you see around you as you move. This could be showing them shops, trees, grass, birds, cars or buses. Also, point out sounds that you hear. For example, the wind in the trees, an ambulance siren, or a dog barking. 

Tell your child where you are going and what you are doing. When you get home, talk to your baby about where you were and what you saw. That way, going out in the buggy is a great learning experience.
