Besides  all the other baby-ignoring behaviour of today (which would rival 
the old  "be seen and not heard" era), you can add prams (strollers, baby 
buggies)  that face away from the adult. So often I see a baby or older 
baby  
squirming and trying to turn to see Mum, and unable to, sometimes even  
crying. Hearing her voice isn't enough. 
~~~ A peculiar, possibly City-centric variation: to save space/width, moms  
with two children close in age, or a set of twins, are placed in a stroller 
 where one child sits behind or under the other. Whoever is in the back or 
under  part sees nothing but the back of the front/upper seat. So now one of 
them not  only doesn't see mom, s/he sees nothing at all. They do have ones 
where the  children face each other, but I see many which don't.

A-14516572#prodSlot=medium_1_15 I  know one child can see to the side, but 
really this looks pretty annoying to  have to ride in...
