Baby Products Reviews of BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Active, Black/Red
Customer Review: Excellent Product!
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this for my son when we travelled to England so I could have use of my hands for passports, tickets and security check at the airport. It was invaluable, so glad I got it.
Very easy to assemble in minutes and feels safe, comfortable and secure.
My son was quite heavy at the time and although I didn't wear it for too long, it was definitely more comfortable than the old style Baby Bjorn which used to kill my back.
The wider straps make it better for weight distribution.
I also like the fact that baby can face you when he/she is small and then
face the outside as they get older. My son loved looking outward to see what was going on.
We will def. be using it again for the next baby!
I would highly recommend this product to any parent.
Customer Review: Hard on the back, but easy to put on and use.

My son is 7 weeks old and already over 13 pounds. The Bjorn is uncomfortable for me after about an hour of wearing him in it - all his weight is carried by my shoulders and the so-called lumbar support really doesn't do too much. Also, I have read it is not great to carry an infant hanging by his/her crotch with the feet dangling.
I got an Ergo Baby Carrier instead and I love it so much more - it doesn't allow the babies to look out like in the Bjorn, but my baby doesn't mind, and the Ergo can be worn on my back when my baby can hold his head up better. In the Ergo, his weight is distributed on my hips mostly and it makes him feel so much lighter than when he is in the Bjorn. Plus, it fits my 6'5" husband and the Bjorn does not. I am going to sell my Bjorn!
Customer Review: BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Active is great!

Wow. I've noticed some people that have complained this item gave no support. I have boy/girl twins who are over 10 months and over 21 lbs each. I have two of these carriers and they are wonderful. BUT only if you have them in the correct position. They have to be adjusted down low in order to get the back support, but once they are in the correct position, they are great. My husband & I carried our twins around Disneyworld in April for hours and had no problems sitting or standing, and definately no shoulder pain! They were a great alternative to the stroller and the twins loved them too! Just over July 4th we carried them around the campground in them, and they were comfortable. Hope this helps anyone looking for a great carrier!Customer Review: A must have!

The "active" version with ,lumbar support is definately superior to the other Bjorns. I use this for hours at a time for everything from housework to shopping to walks and my daugher loves it. It is well constructed and made with durable and heavey duty fabric. It also washes easily (but fades a bit). I am petite and it provides good supprort (she is now 18 lbs). We also have the black and white Bjorn without the lumbar support and my upper back and shoulders tire much faster. The only thing that is bad about this product is the price - buy this online or at a second hand store if possible (they are usually more than half the retail price and never too worn out since they are so durable). This is a must have for newborns and infants.Customer Review: Life saver for your arms!

This is one of the best purchases you can make. I originally got the City Black one but found that it didn't have any back support and felt the pain on my shoulders and back. For the same money you would spend at a babies r us, you can get the upgraded Active Bjorn with lower back support. The material is better, thicker and you can carry your baby longer with more comfort.
My baby loves this and it's one of the only ways we can calm her down or walk the dogs while carrying her. I started using it with her when she was barely 3 months and she loves facing frontward. I recommend anyone with a baby that loves facing front to get this! The only bad part is you can't sit down with it on, otherwise, I'd have it on 247!
