Baby Bjorn Original baby carrier City Blue

Baby Bjorn carriers are the best front carriers on the market. Often imitated, their simple, comfy, supportive design is time tested and backed by 25 years of development. At the last trade show we attended, the Baby Bjorn Carriers were by far the best. This carrier is designed to carry rear-facing newborns and forward-facing infants. As soon as your baby is 21 inches long and weighs 8 lbs she can ride in the carrier facing you. The carrier provides head and neck support; leg straps reduce the size of leg openings (they should always be used for babies under ten pounds). Once your baby can hold her head up, she is ready to face forward. The carrier will adjust (using a sliding buckle) to fit your child up to 25 lbs (about 2 1/2 years). Suggested modifications based on weight and height are enclosed with the Carrier. You'll be able to manage all of the adjustments by yourself, which helps when it's just you and the kid. Color coded latches simplify putting on and taking off the Original. Also, you can easily move a sleeping child from carrier to crib without disturbing her. The Original's design makes it easy to assemble, adjust, and wear. Differences between the Original and the Active: Support - The Active is designed with better lumbar support - the Original certainly isn't uncomfortable, but the Active has added back support for increased' comfort. Sizing - The original carrier is sized "Regular" and for bigger parents, this often means ordering the larger straps or the XL version. The straps that come standard on the Active are fully adjustable and will fit taller / bigger parents. Color options - With the Active, you can choose between Sporty Blue with silver trim and Sporty Black with red trim; with the Original you have nine color choices. Great design and well thought out features make the Original a w

Can't live without it, but wish I could

I've used this for both of my sons (2 years apart), and watched jealously as other moms used the new active Bjorn with lumbar support. My back was killing me from carrying them. My husband and I love taking walks after dinner and lived in an...

don't waste your money on an impractical and unhealthy carrier like this

I have had four baby carriers. We received a Bjorn (actually 2!) at baby showers. Of the four, I found this one to be the least comfortable and most difficult to take on and off. Based on my experience I'd say that the Bjorn is good for one thing...

There are better options than the bjorn

I used the bjorn A LOT before I knew there were better options. The bjorn is only comfortable for carrying babies under about 15lbs for short periods of time. I didn't feel like my baby was secure in this carrier. The bjorn is not comfortable or...

Love it, love it, love it...

I got this one as the baby's shower gift and LOVE it. It does save my hands and my back. I can carry my baby everywhere with me and still be able to do chores (I have a colicky baby so I cannot leave her on the swing for long time). It's so simple...

spinal compression

i hate the bbj for several reasons & i look forward to the day when scientific evidence of the damage it does will be enough to pull it off the market.
1) the seat is too narrow, putting all of baby's weight onto the crotch, contributing to...

Happy Baby = Happy Parents

Why oh why did I not buy one of these for my first baby? I am now kicking myself! This product is fantastic! My baby loves being snuggled close to me and it leaves my hands free to wrangle my toddler! I also love the chocolate brown color as it is...

needs a waist strap

I bought this item for my 11 week old who weighs 12 lb since it has gotten such great reviews and I was looking for a forward facing carrier. I must say that I am a bit disappointed with it. First it sits too high on the chest making it easy for...

a classic

A true classic. At this point the Bjorn is a staple in many homes, or on many bodies rather, and I do love the convenience, but I found that my back still hurt when carrying a baby that was close to the posted weight limit. That is much more...

Good for newborns, but....

I loved my bjorn when my baby was a newborn, but after she got a little bigger I felt like all of the weight was on my shoulders! (and yes, I even went to a baby wearing expert to adjust it- it did not help) And I read that the "crotch" hold of...
