Comments about Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier Original Classic - Black:

Those new to babywearing often purchase a BabyBjorn product as they've been on the market for years. I had one on my registry, but felt that my son was dangling with his legs down and I always put my hand under his bum to give him more of a seat. After joining a babywearing group, I learned how babies and toddlers should be sitting in the same position that you carry them in - legs straddled, knees higher than the tush. The Bjorn seat is too narrow so your child will basically be hanging from its crotch. Also, babies should not be facing outwards for long periods of time. They can not turn their heads away from stimuli such as sun, wind, loud noises, etc. (Your child may seem happy, but it doesn't mean it is good for them!) Back carries allow for the child to be facing forwards with the carrier's back to nestle into if overstimulated, but you can't do them in a Bjorn. Lastly, the Bjorn will hurt your back after a while because all of the weight falls on your shoulders.
Look for carriers with a wide base seat and a waist belt. They are more ergonimcally correct for the baby and the wearer!

Love this carrier. My daughter is 9 months old and has been toted along on our daily dog walks in this carrier since she was about 3 months, with no complaints! It is so easy to put this carrier on and get my daugther into it - far superior to the Moby wrap in this respect. No wrapping or tying or fiddling with it. I also love that she can face me and take a little snooze, or face out and enjoy the walk. WELL worth the money. My only regret with this purchase is not checking out the slightly more expensive models that would include a waist strap for additional support since my munchkin is closing in on 20 lbs.

This works great for newborns and young infants up to weight limit recommended by manufacturer. I bought the ergo with infant insert and hated it. The ergo with infant insert is a pain and more complicated than this. I will use ergo when my daughter is older but this has been great to use with my daughter who is smaller. The baby bijorn is quick and very simple! I love it!

Bought this when I wasn't getting anything done around the house because of baby wanting to be held. Now he goes with me everywhere! He loves the closeness of it and I get to use my hands again. I can do the dishes, fold laundry and vacuum while I am wearing him. A bit pricey but if you actually use it daily it is well worth the money.
