Editorial Review
A little more expensive than most other baby carriers, this Baby Björn Carrier offers parents some wonderful design features that make it worth the extra money. By allowing you to hold your baby snugly against your chest, the carrier promotes a sense of comfort and closeness between a parent and a child. It also allows you to maintain eye contact with and talk to your little one during trips to the store, walks around the house, and short hikes. The carrier's other big advantage is that it frees up both your hands while you carry your baby. The navy blue carrier consists of a large triangular front piece that supports baby's head and body, along with a set of thick padded straps that are worn like a shoulder-and-waist harness. Newborns and smaller babies should always ride rear-facing in the carrier, while older babies who can hold their heads upright unassisted can ride forward-facing and enjoy the view ahead of them. Made of machine-washable, 100 percent cotton, the carrier can be easily adjusted from the front for your baby's size. Although the carrier has been tested for use with babies who weigh from 8 to 25 pounds, some parents found that the carrier became uncomfortable to wear and placed a lot of strain on the lower back when it was used to carry a child weighing more than 20 pounds. --Chris Burns

Summary: Lovin' This Carrier!!! :) 2004-08-16
Comment: My daughter, now six and a half months, LOVES this carrier!!! We have had it since she was a little over a month old and have used it ever since we got it. The baby faces your chest when they do not have the ability to hold their head up yet. As long as you adjust the height limit correctly, they are positioned just fine. (I LOVE being able to lean down and kiss her little head while carrying her!!!) When they are able to hold their head up, then the fun begins. :) That's when my daughter really began to enjoy this carrier...it seems everything else you put babies in shows them where they've been instead of where they are going...now they can see what's ahead. :) I love how it keeps them close. It's perfect for taking your little one to the grocery store or a discount store when you are by yourself and have to push a grocery cart. My husband thinks this carrier is tops...it's his favorite way to carry our little girl. It's easy on the shoulders and back and very easy to clean. You won't go wrong with this one. It's a lot of money, but it is SO worth it!! We LOVE it!!

Summary: Good but with drawbacks 2004-07-27
Comment: After hearing all the positive comments about the Baby Bjorn carrier, I registered for it and got one as a shower gift. For the first few weeks we couldn't use it because my baby's head flopped around too much, even when the carrier was tightened to its maximum head tightness (and our son is a big baby). So we purchased the NoJo sling, which my husband found pretty comfortable but I never really liked because I felt the weight was not evenly distributed.
I am in good shape, work out and lift weights, but on long walks the Bjorn carrier really hurts my shoulders. The straps cut in when I wear it for power walks, which was the purpose of my getting the carrier. I'm fine for about 20 minutes to a half hour, but after that I'm constantly tugging at the straps and trying to evenly distribute the weight.
For this reason, I'm looking into getting the Bjorn Active which appears to have better padding. My suggestion would be that if you really want to be active with your carrier, be careful to get something with good, comfortable shoulder padding. Your shoulders are carrying the weight of your child in this carrier.

Summary: Best baby gift EVER! 2004-06-25
Comment: This carrier has been a life saver! Our daughter has reflux and is not very comfortable laying flat. For the first few weeks I found myself having to hold her throughout the day so she would nap comfortably and then a relative gave us this carrier as a gift. AMAZING! She was able to sleep comfortably and I was still able to be up and about with my hands free. I had just bought one of the cheaper brands when we received the Baby Bjorn. This one is much more user friendly and less cumbersome. Worth every penny! I have recommended it to every one I know that is expecting or buying baby shower gifts.

Summary: Love this carrier! 2004-04-27
Comment: I love this carrier! My 5-week-old prefers to sleep on her stomach, which we all have had beat into us is not acceptable - so carrying her in the Baby Bjorn seems to give her the illusion that she's on her stomach and it puts her to sleep like a charm! Then my hands are free to do the things I need to do! It was very easy to adjust the first time and it's really easy to put on and put the baby in unassisted. I highly recommend it!
