Deciding on which pushchair to buy for your baby can be a challenge.

Just the choice of going for parent-facing or forward-facing can be a struggle in itself. You may be stuck in the debate of whether your baby would rather be looking around, or looking at you.

Research has found that parent-facing pushchairs are great for both young babies and parents. Eye contact is not only important for the development of your baby, but it's also reassuring, comforting, allows you to communicate, share moments with them, and let them know you're there.

A parent-facing pushchair will also allow you peace of mind, and you're able to see if everything is okay, if your baby has fallen asleep, if a sock has slipped off - and so on.

Experts say that up until about nine months, your little one may be best suited to a parent-facing pushchair whereas after that they may want to start looking around more in a forward-facing one.

If you're not quite ready for a forward-facing pushchair but are ready to move on from prams for babies, we've got plenty for you to check out.

From adjustable to reversible so you can have both options - we've rounded up 12 of the best safe, comfortable, and easily manoeuvrable parent-facing pushchairs of 2020!

Whether you've decided that it's time to make the transition from bottles and breastfeeding to a more grown-up beaker or cup, or you've simply decided you want to improve your little one's drinking development and learn how to drink with less mess - it's important to find the right product to make the process as easy as possible.

There are a wide range of products available to consider, from cups with handles to open cups, to spout, straw, and sippy cups - all with different advantages.

Though dentists tend to recommend an open or free-flow cup with no valve in order to protect your toddler's teeth and teach them how to sip well - ultimately you need to find the product that works best for you and your baby depending on their needs, age, and capabilities.

Deciding which beakers or cups to buy can be daunting, there are just so many different options out there and you don't want to waste your money or go through endless amounts by making the wrong choice.

We'd suggest starting with those that use a healthy material such as silicone or BPA-free products, and to narrow down which type of sip-function you want to go for.

With that in mind, we've rounded up 12 of the top toddler beakers and cups - for whether they're 12 months, 18 months, 36 months, or anywhere in between.
