I'd feel bad not letting a child see the world, honestly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-facing-lo-outward-in-the-stroller#post-563371 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:40:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 563371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie around 7 months, and olive around 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-facing-lo-outward-in-the-stroller#post-563363 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:38:41 +0000 twinmama 563363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids face outward in 2/3 of their strollers at almost 7 months. They like looking out, rather than up (with our snapngo), but I do make a point to stop and kiss them both every so often. They can get cranky if they go more than 15 min or so without actually seeing dh or I. They like being in the top of the cart facing me though too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-facing-lo-outward-in-the-stroller#post-563352 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:35:59 +0000 Weagle 563352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: My LO turns around in shopping carts too. Recently, we were in Target, and she turned around and stood up in the seat as I was turned to put something back on the shelf. She had just learned to pull up a few days before. It was terrifying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-facing-lo-outward-in-the-stroller#post-563344 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:33:40 +0000 rachiecakes 563344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>as soon as he could sit up.. maybe 6 months? I'd prefer to have him face me but he would get so mad and try to turn around. </p> <p>He actually turns himself around in shopping carts, too, no matter how tight I buckle him in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-facing-lo-outward-in-the-stroller#post-563343 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:33:35 +0000 plantains 563343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I do this too! Everyone thinks I am crazy, but she is very vocal so I feel like I have to have 'conversations' with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-facing-lo-outward-in-the-stroller#post-563334 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:30:53 +0000 Weagle 563334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months, but I would probably still have her facing me if our stroller had the option. I talk to her while she's in the stroller, and I'm pretty sure I look crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-facing-lo-outward-in-the-stroller#post-563321 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:27:18 +0000 plantains 563321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I haven't put her in an umbrella stroller yet. I guess I will let her face out for a couple of shorter strolls to see how she does but still have her facing me on longer expeditions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-facing-lo-outward-in-the-stroller#post-563319 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:25:57 +0000 mynoahbear 563319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 13 months and still faces me in the Bugaboo but when she's in the Maclaren, she faces out. She hasn't complained about facing me, plus she falls asleep after 5 minutes in the Bugaboo anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-facing-lo-outward-in-the-stroller#post-563308 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:22:08 +0000 autumnlove 563308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved LO to an umbrella stroller at 7 months. We were using a stroller frame before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-facing-lo-outward-in-the-stroller#post-563303 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:20:21 +0000 plantains 563303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now she faces me at 7.5 months because I like to see her face when we are on walks. I do wonder though when it is time to let her face out so she can see more stuff. </p>
