Keep Cool While on the MoveWhether you are out for a summer stroll, walking to the café, or working around the house, the Baby Carrier Air is the ideal carrier for those who want to stay cool and comfortable. Made from a unique 3-D mesh material that was designed specifically for BABYBJÖRN, this versatile carrier wicks away heat and moisture while allowing you to carry your baby close. The carrier offers up to 138% better heat reduction and 30% better moisture reduction than other baby carriers.
Made of Safe, Comfortable, Non-toxic MaterialsAll fabrics and materials used in BABYBJÖRN Baby Carriers that come into contact with baby's skin are Öeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1 certified, an international safety standard for textiles, and contain no health-hazardous substances. This means that during your baby's teething phase, you can allow your baby to nibble or suck on the fabric without worry.
For your baby's comfort, the airy, mesh material feels soft to a baby's cheeks and won't irritate sensitive skin. And, for your convenience, it is machine washable and dries quickly.
Provides Pediatrician-recommended Posture SupportThe innovative design of the BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier allows you to safely carry your newborn facing towards you--then, once your baby has grown older and stronger, he, or she, can be carried facing outwards, so they can view their surroundings.
In both cases, the carrier's firm, adjustable head support allows babies to remain safe and secure in the carrier. Plus, the shape of the carrier positions your baby's legs in a spread-out, ergonomically-correct crouching posture that is recommended by pediatricians.
For added comfort, the carrier features wide, padded shoulder straps that distribute a baby's weight evenly over your back and shoulders.
Adjustable to Growing BabyThe carrier's sliding buckle allows you to accommodate your baby as he or she grows in size. The minimum size requirement for use is 8 pounds and 21 inches and the maximum weight limit is 25 pounds. For your additional comfort and safety, the back and shoulder straps can be easily adjusted from the front to custom fit your body.
Innovative Two-Piece Design for Ease of UseThe unique two-piece design makes it simple for you to place your baby in the carrier unassisted. And if your baby falls asleep in the carrier, the two-piece design allows you to remove the front to lay the baby down without waking him or her up. You can also unhook one side for discreet nursing in the carrier. The strong, well-designed latches click securely and release easily with one hand.

Bjorn Air/Classic vs. Synergy/Active vs. Comfort vs. Ergo,
July 9, 2010 Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Air - Gray/White, Mesh (Baby Product)
I'm a bit compulsive so we own quite a few carriers. For the purposes of this review, I'll skip slings, and stick to backpack style shoulder strap carriers. Specifically the Bjorn line and the Ergo.
Ergo: The most comfortable of the bunch! While it can get a little toasty for both you and baby on warm days, both wife and I felt that we could wear it just about forever. Unlike most backpack carriers, the Ergo has a waist belt on which most of the baby's weight rests. Those of you who've used a hiking backpack know exactly how much this helps. For those who don't, there's a padded band that sits just above your hips. When worn correctly most of the baby's weight is distributed across your hips greatly reducing the stress/load on your shoulders and back. Unfortunately for us, our little monkey recently decided that she must face out, and the Ergo only allows them to face in. So it's been sitting in unused in the closet for several weeks.

Kills your shoulders & back...with ventilation!,
July 9, 2009 This review is from: BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Air (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.
The "Air" version is identical to the "Original" but 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" and "Synergy" versions have wider straps with a center buckle and a lower strap "lumbar" strap which provides additional support over the "Original" While this distributes the weight better, it doesn't put it on your hips. Oh, and it also makes it a lot more...Read more

The Baby Bjorn Synergy is a better bet,
August 20, 2008 C. Valerio (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Air (Baby Product)
We own the Baby Bjorn Active Carrier, and we all love it! However, it is too hot for summer heat, so we opted to purchase this item--the Baby Bjorn Air Carrier. Without the lumbar support, all of the baby's weight is on the shoulders, and my husband could feel a huge difference. We didn't know Baby Bjorn had a new "Air" carrier, the Synergy, until we visited their website. It is made out of the same fabric as this one but is designed like the Active Carrier. So we are returning this one for the Synergy. Your lower back is well-worth the extra money! One less trip to the chiropractor or massage therapist will make up the difference!
