Baby Bjorn Original Carrier in City Black

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

have some hands-free fun with your baby, and let them see the world

I just got back from a trip to the grocery store, and what could have been a 20 minute trip was done in five minutes. Moving my boy from his car seat to the BabyBjorn took all of 30 seconds, and the time spent in the store isles was noticeably...

Easy to use and sturdy

The carrier overall is a very good product. It is easy to use and take off. The only thing I would change is the buttons for the legs. Everything else on the carrier is snap on except for two buttons you have to button. It's a minor...

Highly Recommended to me

I haven't actually used the Baby Bjorn carrier but it has been highly recommended to me. I was going to buy a cheaper baby carrier, but after reading other reviews on the internet and talking to people who have this carrier, I decided to pay the...

When I was pregnant with my daughter, everyone told me how horrible the Baby Bjorn was for the baby and on your back. So I looked into other carriers and the one that recieved 5+ star reviews (and was about $150) was the Ergo Baby Carrier; my...

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...
