Babybjörn Original Baby Carrier

Pros: simplicity
Cons: None so far.

I've always been happy with Bjorn products I bought, and the Bjorn Carrier is no different!

It's the third or fourth soft carrier I've tried, but by far the best.

The simplicity is the big feature. There isn't a lot of buckles, snaps or nonsense to fuss with. The latches you do use are color-coded for ease of use.

It's easy to adjust as well, and even on a small woman such as myself, it worked out well without feeling like it's out of place or pulling down too much on my front.

If you need to clean it, it comes apart easily to throw in the washer.

The baby can face either way, which is also a really neat feature.

Pros: My husband likes it
Cons: Uncomfortable Bad for baby's spine Expensive

I hated this carrier. I am large breasted and it was so uncomfortable on my shoulders, neck and back that I can't stand to use it. I couldn't use it for breastfeeding and don't see how anyone could! And research has recently come out saying that because this type of carrier holds baby up by the crotch instead of keeping them in a seated position, it is bad for the development of their spine as you can see http://www.gatago.com/misc/kids/3930671.html. I would advise a sling carrier instead as they are more comfortable for baby and parent, and make breastfeeding in the sling simple. Plus, they're cheaper!

Pros: comfortable, great when infants are tiny
Cons: Won't adjust, so babies outgrow quickly

This carrier is easy to use and comfortable -- but if chubby babies run in your family, get something else. There are no adjustments for width as the baby grows. Both of my children (who are now average builds, but were quite chubby as babies) outgrew this carrier before 4 months simply because it would no longer fit around their tummies. Don't waste your money -- find something that will grow with your baby.

Pros: baby is so happy in it, easy to wash/adjust/use, lightweight
Cons: expensive, but worth every penny and more

My 8 month old baby is happiest when she is in her Bjorn--my husband and/or I use it every day. It's easier to get around with her in the Bjorn than with a stroller and she loves being close to me. She's usually asleep in it within 20 minutes. My babysitter even wears it when my daughter is fussy!! It took a couple of weeks for her to get used to it, but now she smiles with anticipation when she sees me putting it on. WE LOVE OUR BJORN!!!

Pros: Stylish, easy to use, comfortable for baby
Cons: Hurts my shoulders w/ prolonged use, expensive

Maybe it's just me, but I find all baby carriers uncomfortable after about 30 minutes of wearing, even when carrying a small baby. I've tried a lot of them (friends loaning them to me, gifts, etc) and I will say this is the nicest looking and easiest to use. My shoulders ache after using it though. The armholes are kind of small but you don't want them slipping their arms out of it either. Try buying this used so you don't spend a fortune (that's what I did).

Pros: Best carrier hands down. Light weight. Easy to use
Cons: very expensive. Limited colors.

I can not tell you how great this thing is. It supports the baby so well that you almost can not tell that you have him strapped to you at all. Easy to put on and take off. This is the best product we own for us and our child hands down. There is nothing I would change in the construction. It is very light weight.

Pros: Easy to use, comfortable for baby and parent
Cons: It's uncomfortable to wear for too long after the baby weighs over 16lbs

My husband wanted this carrier because he liked the closeness this carrier would give him with our child. It turns out that we probably would not have made it through the first few months without this carrier. It seemed that when nothing else got our baby to stop crying, this did. Our baby loved it. As soon as we would strap him on and walked only a few steps out our door, he was asleep. In the first few months, it was this carrier that gave us the opportunity to communicate undisturbed during our walks. It brought back a sense of normalcy. Later on, when our son got a bit older, he loved watching the world from it. It was only because of this carrier that I ever got anything done the first few months. I highly recommend it!

Pros: Quality, design, safety, it's is very easy to use
Cons: Price, but it is worth it

We've started to use the Baby Bjorn Carrier when our Baby was 1 months old..I must say this thing is incredible. It's so easy to use, like I could put it on in 5 sec. With other carriers you have to deal with too many buttons..
Now our Baby is 7 months old, pretty heavy I must say..But he still adores this carrier..I can't put him in the stroller..but this thing he really loves.

Pros: Looks Nice
Cons: Getting baby in/out NOT practical, Baby NOT comfortable

I was excited to use my new baby bjorn with my son. I didn't even buy a stroller thinking that I would be using the carrier. I quickly found out that the baby bjorn was not what I thought it would be. The worst part is getting him into and out of the carrier. It is difficult getting his leg and arm into the holes and trying to hold him while securing the other side. Once his is in, his head kept bopping around hitting my chest while forward facing. I didn't feel like I had use of my hands while in the carrier and still put my arms around him to feel more stable. My son felt confined in the carrier and only quieted down if I was constantly walking.

When I go to stores now, I just carry him in my arms because it seems like too much trouble to get him into and out of the carrier. I think I should have bought one of those travel systems with stroller. I would not recommend this product, and if you do get the carrier, save your receipt!

Pros: good qaulity, easy to use
Cons: is not comfortable for large babies; expensive.

The product is a very good quality. However, if your baby is in 95th percentile (like mine) it is worthless! The baby simply does not fit or is very uncomfortable even on the largest setting.

Also, I was not comfortable to put my baby in it till he had a good head control (about 3 months of age). By that time he was almost 16 lb and putting him in the carrier was not comfortable for me or for him. I tried to carry him about ten minutes and my back started to hurt by the straps. So I would not recommend this product for large babies.

Pros: Simple design, close and comfortable,
Cons: Worn on front only, impractical for extremely large folks, back hurt after an hour.

I absolutely loved my Baby Bjorn. My daughter is, unfortunately, outgrowing it at 5 months and I am having a hard time replacing it.

I loved the way she was snugged so close to me. She felt warm, and secure and I felt good knowing she was safe and knew she was loved. It is so much nicer than plopping her in the stroller.

You have the option of facing inwards or outwards, depending on age and ability. Even after my daughter could hold her own head up, I would face her inwards to snuggle her on shopping trips while she napped.

The straps are simple to figure out- not a lot of bells and whistles also, except for a small pouch in the front for your keys or whatnot. The entire design is, in fact, pretty simple. It's all soft material, toss it in the washer when it needs it... no plastic to crack, no leather to worry about. I am so sad we can't use this anymore!

Pros: Baby seems to like it. Good for carrying sleeping newborn.
Cons: Expensive. Unattractive. Absolute torture to wear after baby gets to be bigger.

My daughter was 7lbs 6oz when born and I just loved this thing. I quickly mastered getting it on and off, and she was happy to sleep in it while I did housework, or walked the dogs, or ran errands/shopped.
At about 15 pounds it was becoming more and more uncomfortable. My shoulders and neck were sore after 20 minutes or so. After 30 minutes my lower back was SCREAMING in pain and the Bjorn was just unbearable.
I am an average sized woman, I am in good shape, and I had it adjusted correctly so I cannot imagine anyone being able to carry anywhere near the weight limit comfortably.
This carrier is also very hard to adjust if 2 people are going to be using it. Hubby finally stopped using it because it was more of a pain to adjust than to just carry baby.
My daughter loved it though. Facing in when she was little she was snug (but hot in warm weather) and as she got older she was very happy facing out to look at the world.

I am now on a search for a more comfortable carrier for larger babies.

Pros: Comfortable
Cons: Cost, but it was worth it. I feel I got my money's worth.

I used this carrier with my small infant (1-3mo) when he had colic. We danced and walked around the house which seemed to help us both a little. It worked GREAT for travel (7mo)since we didn't need to drag a stroller around the airport. It is Very comfortable and I tried a few that were terrible. Also washes well.

Pros: This product is easy to put on and take off.
Cons: There are none!

Living in New York City and being an avid rider of the subway, I knew I would have to purchase an infant carrier for my first child. While reviewing the Baby Bjorn on the web, I realized it was the best carrier out there. It's so easy to get around without having to worry about lifting a heavy stroller. You can shop, eat and have a great stroll around the city with your baby. The Baby Bjorn is comfortable and secure, so there are no worries about trudging up subway stairs or waiting for elevators that don't work.

Pros: Good quality Worth its price
Cons: There are cons???

I bought several cheap carriers and they all hurt my back. I did not by the baby bjorn off the bat cuz of the price. I figured they all had to be the same. So I bought one hated it and returned it bought another one same brand but better quality hated. Then I used a friends to test drive it and OH MY GOSH....I was in heaven. Its comfy did not put strain on my back. So the next day I bought one and now using it for baby #2 and LOVE it still.
