Baby Bjorn Air Carrier in Blue & White

The Baby Bjorn Air Carrier is really a wonder to watch in action. Put an infant in it and watch all the fussing and crying just melt away. Usually, it's one of the best ways to put them right to sleep. Baby Bjorn's Air Carrier is made from a light mesh, specially designed to keep kids-and you-cool during warm or moderate weather. If you're a warm person or the mercury is just starting to rise, the heat that you and your baby share can sometimes get a little too much. This can be a problem sometimes with models like the Baby Bjorn Original Carrier and its denser poly-nylon. However, the fabric on the Air Carrier is much more breathable. When you're interested in Baby Bjorn but just can't decide, all you need to know about the differences between the Air Carrier and others is: The Air Carrier keeps you cooler than other models Meant for summer and moderate weather It is meant for relatively short-term use, unlike the Baby Bjorn Active Carrier , which is meant for extended use At first, any of the Baby Bjorn carriers - or any baby carrier, for that matter, can be a little intimidating when you first get them out of the box. There seems to be a maze of straps and clips to adjust. Fortunately, the learning curve is short and it literally becomes two snaps and you're ready to go. The clips that secure your baby in the carrier have a locked mode and they just make a small clicking noise that lets you know they're properly fastened. Many other baby carriers won't have that reassuring click. The straps adjust and there's also an adjustable head rest. At first, it's a good idea to keep your baby's head closer to you upright and loosen the headrest or don't use it at all as the baby learns to hold its head up on its own. An added plus is that the sound of your heartbeat can often mean lights out for any infant in a matter of minutes, which can give you a must-needed rest while still having them close to you. The Baby Bjorn Air Carrier folds up compactly. It's completely machine washable. One important thought to note is that if you need a little more back support or plan to wear your carrier for extended periods of time, the Baby Bjorn Active Carrier adds lumbar and comfort. Though the Air Carrier is really comfortable, the Active Carrier is considered the better baby front carrier for longer hikes or running errands.
