| tccarroll's Full Review: Baby Bjorn Original |
"Oh, your expecting? Congratulations! You simply must try ..."
How many of you new or expecting parents have heard those words? A friend or a family member with children are very quick to make suggestions on what will make your life easier after your little bundle of joy arrives. Most of the time, I think, they're wrong. What was/is good for them will be very different to you. Your baby won't like it. You won't like it. You both won't like it.
My wife and I received our fair share of advice from these same helpful parents. Some advice we laughed at (after our friends went home, that is). Some advice we were appalled by. But there were a few things that stuck with us. One of those was the Baby Bjorn.
Often referred to as the Cadillac of baby carriers, the Baby Bjorn lived up to every platitude our friends could send its way. Moreover, our son loves it. All we need to do is put him in it and he's as happy and content as can be. It's usually only moments before he's sound asleep.
We take long walks and use it when we go shopping, because the shopping cart seats are best avoided. And when the trips are through, there are no sore muscles or pinched skin. Those Swedes have done it again. Those of you who love Ikea know what I mean.
It is very comfortable for both baby and parent. There are no binding straps or tie-ins, although it is very secure for our tiny six-week old. The shoulder straps are padded and simple enough to avoid tangles.
There are many designs to choose from. We have the simple black and white check pattern, although all patterns are attractive and easy on the eye.
The only draw back that I can speak of is the price ($75+), although ours was a gift from Grandma and Grandpa.
So for all of you expecting or new parents out there:
"Oh, your expecting? Congratulations! You simply must try the Baby Bjorn!"
