BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Active - Sporty Black

BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Active - Sporty Black Review



We used this carrier recently on baby's first trip via airplane. It was great carrying him around in the airport and having my hands free for luggage and other stuff. The carrier is sturdy and comfortable. I was able to sit on the plane with him strapped in asleep, which was nice. We used the carrier with him facing him forward as well. The nice bonus with this carrier, and I suspect with other carriers, too, is that you don't have to take him out of it when you go through the metal detector at the airport security gate, since the carrier has no metal parts. This is especially wonderful if your baby is already asleep and you don't want to disturb him/her just to get through security.

The only downside with the carrier that we've found is that it's pretty difficult to adjust it for various baby sizes. The carrier did not hurt my back at all, and I'm fairly petite with an average-size baby.

Carrier with Enhanced Back Support
Whether you are running errands, taking a walk, or meeting up with friends, the Baby Carrier Active is the ideal carrier for the busy mom, dad, or babysitter. This versatile carrier allows you to comfortably carry heavier babies for longer periods of time while keeping your hands free for other tasks.

The carrier's lumbar support panel is specifically designed to provide maximum support for your lower back. For added comfort, the carrier features wide, padded shoulder straps that distribute baby's weight evenly over your back and shoulders.

Made of Safe, Comfortable, Non-toxic Materials
All 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.

Provides Pediatrician-recommended Posture Support
The 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.

Adjustable to Growing Baby
The 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 26 pounds. The back and shoulder straps can be easily adjusted from the front to custom fit your body for additional comfort and safety.

Innovative Two-Piece Design for Ease of Use
The 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.

The BEST baby carrier - AYS -
I bought this BabyBjorn as a gift for a friend, since I have used my own for the past 2.5 years and LOVE IT! I had a c-section with both my babies and found it too difficult to carry the stroller and instead opted to use my baby carrier instead. I use it for EVERYTHING! Whether it's keeping the baby quiet while I make supper or do errands to traveling to doctor appointments by bus. It is so light, so comfortable and fits so well, when you take the time to properly adjust the straps. It is the best baby carrier on the market. My baby is already one (weighing 22lbs) and I still use it and we both enjoy it!



Easy to get around - C. Kinstle - Myrtle Beach, SC
At first it was hard to figure out how to use it but once I got the hang of it I use it all the time. Where ever I go my baby goes and baby doesn't mind it as long as I am walking around. I am so glad to finally get things done and baby is happy.






Get an Ergo or Beco instead!! - J. Sarcomo -
I bought this when I was expecting my first. I was naive like so many other new moms. I hated it. It was uncomfortable and I hated that my daughter was dangling in it. I later discovered that this was not good for her spine b/c all her weight was on it rather than her butt.

I did some research and found the Ergo. We loved it! She sat on her butt in it and it was much more comfortable. It has a hip belt that helps distribute the baby's weight. The weight limit is much higher (probably over 35 lbs) and you can wear it on your back. I wore her in the Ergo until she was well past 2 years old.

For the price, the Bjorn a waste of money b/c you can't use it for as long as you can other carriers. We now have a Beco as well, which enables you to secure the baby in the carrier before putting it on, which is helpful with a back carry. We use the Ergo and Beco interchangeably. I definitely recommend going against what is typically in the stores and research what is out there. I have over a dozen different carriers, slings, wraps, etc. I use most of them for different situations. The only one that I never use is the Bjorn. I know there are a lot of people that like it, but I strongly recommend looking into other options that will last longer, save your back, and allow your baby to sit properly will being babyworn.
