When did you have baby forward facing in the pram?

9 month old DS has always been perfectly content in his pram (good job really with all the lockdown walks!) but over the last few weeks he's been getting really moany and fidgety, almost as if he's trying to climb out. I'm wondering if he's just bored of looking at my face and it's time to face the pram forward? What age did you turn your pram? He's very nosey so I think he will love it but I find it strange to imagine being out for a walk and not looking at him!

DD1 about 12 months
DD2 at 7 months when she started to accept the pram. I turned her because she would get upset when her big sister scooted out of her sight.

I didn't do it based on a set age! I'd face him forwards when out and about. If I was taking him out just to nap I'd have him facing me in the hope it would be less stimulating Grin

At about 8 months my baby started to be restless in him pram. I thought he just didnt like the pram, until one day I turned him around and the problem was solved. He just wanted to see thr world! No I dont hear a peep from him.

Same, depended if I wanted them to sleep or not.

DTs would never sleep if facing out even if exhausted until about 2.5, they had to face me, sun shades right down. The world was just too exciting.
