Away in a Baby Buggy

Okay, Dundee University conducted a survey which found that babies in away facing buggies were more likely to grow up as stressed adults. This was part of a campaign to get parents to talk to children more. So that is the first doubt cast on this as a genuine piece of research.

And did a buggy seller fund it? They could not lose, whatever the result, as doting parents out of step with the findings would rush off to replace their existing buggy. Is this just another ploy to boost sales in a recession or am I just being cynical?
