TTYB buggy survey - key findings

Over 1,000 people took part in our online buggy survey. The overwhelming majority are in favour of pusher-facing buggies. Following are the key findings.

Pusher-facing buggies are the preferred option
91% of respondents would choose a pusher-facing buggy over a forward-facing buggy if the cost were the same, although 84% would like the facility to face both ways.

Affordability is a key issue
The majority (75%) said that a pushchair facing both ways would need to be priced at below £200.

Children spend up to 2 hours a day in buggies
72% of respondents said their children spend between half an hour and two hours in a pushchair or stroller each day.

Pusher-facing buggies would improve communication
The majority (88%) said they would talk to their baby more if their child was facing the pusher.

About the survey
1,020 people took part in the online buggy survey, of which 51% were parents, a further 31% were both health/early years professionals and parents, and the remainder were practitioners, students and interested parties. The survey ran from May to December 2005.
