This one is really one for your little one to decide. It may be good to test out both to see which one your child prefers. Parent facing can help develop a bond as they can see you and you can see them, but forward-facing let's your child see the world around them and can keep them entertained. Luckily, you rarely have to choose between them these days as most pushchairs have reversable seat units so you can do a mix of both.
