Love the lightweight material!

by K. Maggio 2008-11-24

I loved my last Baby Bjorn, the sport one with the back support. Sadly, I lost it right after the birth of my 2nd son. I ordered a new one immediately. This time I tried the breathable mesh one and I love it! I do miss the back support, especially since I have a heavier baby (14# at 6 weeks) but this bjorn was more reasonably priced $75 compared to $130 for the one with light material and support. I do not go anywhere without my baby bjorn, and both my boys have loved it. The key is to start them early in it, to get them used to the positioning. Would recommend this product to anyone, dads and moms!

Great Carrier

by Jared F. Heddens 2008-10-18

Basically this thing is great. I know people have their reservations over this style of carrier, but as a stay at home dad, I love it. My daughter has wanted to face out since she was two months old and you just cant do that with a lot of other carriers. I also love the light weight and breathability of the material. I get over heated easy and any one who has put a baby in one of these knows that they are a little heat machine. I will say that you need a good strong lower back for this carrier as there is only a simple criss-cross over the middle of your back and my wife says it really wears her out.
Overall, I have used many other carriers, including slings and this one is definately my favorite.

The BabyBjorn Baby Carrier is an excellent product. This is our second Babybjorn and highly recommend it. It is an excellent quality product. Our daughter loves to be carried and look around. The Baby bjorn saved my arms.

The Baby Bjorn Synergy is a better bet

by C. Valerio 2008-08-21

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!

Not for heavier babies

by Mabel 2008-08-07

We received the Baby Bjorn Air Carrier from our friends. It was good for the first few months. But as other reviewers have written it is not so great once your baby gets heavier. We had to get the Bjorn Active.
It comes with an attached baggie for you to stuff the Bjorn into. A nice idea, but the rolled up carrier is not much smaller. There is no way you can roll the Bjorn up and stuff it into the bag with one hand. We found it was easier to just put it into the stroller basket or hang it from the stroller handles.
The material feels rough. And it feels flimsy compared to the other Bjorns.
