Product Review

In the award-winning classic, the BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original, you can carry your child safely and close to you, while keeping your hands free to do other things. It is comfortable and easy to use both indoors and out. As with all BabyBjorn's baby carriers, it was developed in collaboration with medical experts to suit newborns optimally. Ergonomic for your child: The baby carrier has an ergonomic design that provides the proper support for your child's head, back and hips from birth. The adjustable head support can be folded down so that the child may be carried facing forward when he or she is a bit older and able to hold up his or her own head. Safe and user-friendly: The baby carrier was designed to allow you to carry your child safely and close to you while being easy to use. The baby carrier is simple to put on and take off without assistance, and easily adjusted from the front. Moreover, the front piece can be opened entirely so that you can lift out your sleeping child without waking him or her. Small and handy: The baby carrier uses minimal space and can easily be packed in a bag to take with you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quick and easy to use, but kills your back!, July 8, 2009

This review is from: BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original (Baby Product)
Over the course of three children we have had FIVE carriers: Two slings, a Baby Bjorn, a Snugli and the Ergo Baby.

The Bjorn is definitely the best looking and easiest to use. The clips and connectors are very intuitive and it's easy to get smaller infants into it. In the first 3 months, this was my favorite carrier.

The "Air" version is basically the "Original" with much more breathable fabric. Unfortunately this doesn't address the biggest shortcoming of the carrier.

My big complaint is that when the kids get larger (or if you wear it for more than ~10 minutes at a time) it really starts to kill your back. This is because the design keeps all the weight on your shoulders. It's like wearing a backpack BACKWARDS!

The "Active" version has wider straps and a which provide additional support for a small improvement over the "Original," but it still puts all the weight on your shoulders, pulling them forward. The additional strap is a...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars My baby 13 months old and I still use this daily! The BJORN gave me my 2 hands back!, November 10, 2005

This carrier is the best! My son is child #5 and I have had a carrier for each one. This last one is definately the best! Not wanting to spend this much money on a "carrier" of all things, I researched and considered carefully before purchasing this. All reviews and reports were accurate...This is definately worth the extra dollars.

The ease of use is remarkable. I can get baby in and out all by myself. From the day after Luca and I arrived home from the hospital, we were out for our daily walks. I sing in our church choir every Sunday and Luca is in his Bjorn close to me and we have never missed a Mass! It is always in the diaper bag when we shop because he ultimately ends up in his carrier. Even at age 13 months I use this daily! Now he sits forward in it and charms all he sees!

My older boys take Karate 5 days a week, so Luca is in the carrier facing forward and watching his brothers. My other mom friends are struggling with their toddlers and mine is...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the BB Carrier with extra-long straps!, October 23, 2005

My husband (6' 1") insisted on the Baby Bjoern with the extra-long straps. I am happy to report that it is magnificent, even for short people! (I'm only 5' 3".) It converts to fit either one of us quickly and easily and I have always felt that our son was snug and secure inside. Now that he's older (6 months), he LOVES to face outward and see where we're headed. We toured Colonial Williamsburg (lots of walking and wandering in and out of colonial buildings), quickly and easily with the BB. While other mommies struggled with their strollers and couldn't get into many of the buildings, we whisked through everything safely and easily.

I know many people are concerned that they won't use it enough to justify the price - my response is that you need to make yourself use it! Try it out during a simple walk through the mall or your neighborhood. As you grow accustomed to it you'll realize how easy it is to hook on and go.

Enjoy! I HIGHLY recommend this product!
