Baby Products Reviews of BABYBJÖRN Navy Carrier
Customer Review: Wonderful Carrier
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love my Baby Bjorn and my son does too. He is now 6 months old and I have been using since he was three weeks old. He has never once complained while in the carrier (honestly, he has never cried while in it). I use it all the time while shopping, he is a big boy and outgrew the infant carrier carseat really early. When he was facing forward he would almost imediately fall asleep and now that he faces out he happily watches everything around him. He can even nap in it while facing forward. Some people have mentioned breastfeeding while their child is in the carrier but I have no idea how they pull that off. Don't plan on using it for breastfeeding, a sling would probably work better for that. I use my Baby Bjorn almost every day. It is really easy to take on and off (it may be tricky the first time, read the directions and then don't take it fully apart). I have no problem hooking my son into it by myself, it really is easy to use. I will be very sad when my son outgrows it. I would definately call this a must have baby item.Customer Review: The only one to try

I didn't get this carrier right off the bat because it was so expensive. I was having a hard time justifying the expense, when we didn't really go to many places that we needed a carrier. We were given a hand me down Snuggli and the contraption was such a pain to get into and out of (FOR ME!! NEVER MIND MY DAUGHTER!!)and it made my back hurt so badly that I gave it away and said I'd carry her first! Then we scheduled a trip to the zoo, and we wanted our daughter to be able to see all the animals instead of being in a stroller, so I just broke down and bought the Baby Bjorn because of all the great reviews it got.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE DESIGN MAKES!!! I could get in and out of this by myself (my husband had to put the Snuggli on me, for crying out loud) and I could get my 18 lb. daughter into it with no problems either. It also seemed to provide her with a lot more support, and it took an entire afternoon before I even started feeling the effects of carrying her!
This thing's the BEST! And we use it all the time!!
Customer Review: This is the best carrier out there!

When I was registering for this item I was torn between this carrier and a less expensive brand. I am so glad that I went with this one! It is easy to use (although a little confusing when I first took it out of the box)and soooo comfortable! I quickly got the hang of getting my son in and outof it on my own.I've been using it for 6 months and my son still loves it. I thought I wouldn't have much use for it by this stage but I still use it almost as much. My son is now 16 pounds and doesn't always like being confined to a stroller. When I go shopping he is safe, comfy and happy to be "held" and I have free hands to shop, pay etc. The nicest surprise is that even at 16 pounds, my back doesn't hurt during or after carrying him around in it - thanks to the supportive straps and design of this carrier.
I highly recommend this or any Baby Bjorn carrier! The quality is terrific and I know I'll be able to use it with any future children I have. This really is one scenario that you get what you pay for.
Customer Review: Baby Bjorn - Superior Carrier
Summary: 5 Stars
The Baby Bjorn carrier was one of the first items we bought when we found out we were having a baby. I'm so glad we did! When my son is feeling clingy and doesn't want to be set down so I can get ready for the day, I just slip him in the Baby Bjorn. He's content and I can dry my hair, etc. without dealing with a fussy baby. We've also found it to be useful when we go to the grocery store. Our carseat won't snap into a lot of grocery carts, so into the Baby Bjorn he goes! He loves being close to mommy and daddy and getting to see everything from up high.The fabric and design of the Baby Bjorn are durable and attractive. I purchased the Tartan Navy because I thought it had a little bit more "personality" than the plain black or navy. We have friends who own other brands of soft carriers and they seem flimsy and generally unsafe. We feel confident that our son is safe and comfortable in the Baby Bjorn. A great investment for your first baby and future children!
Customer Review: strains your back- slings are better and cheaper
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this carrier due to the rave reviews I both read online and heard from friends. I was disappointed. I loved it for the first 6 weeks. Once my son hit 12-15 lbs, it strained my (and my husband's) back too much. I also didn't like how my baby's legs flopped around. My best friend is a chiropractor and she was concerned that my baby's spine was not meant to be holding up his upper body weight at that age. I agree. Little babies are meant to be cradled.I switched to a Maya Wrap sling when another friend showed me hers. It's cheaper (...), easier to put on and adjust, more portable and more ergonomically correct for the baby. My son is now 9 months, weighs 22lbs and I can carry him in the sling for 2-3 hours before my shoulder gets sore. Then I switch to the other shoulder and keep going! Save your money and buy a sling!
If you are going to buy a frontpack, I agree that this one is the best. I just think that slings are better.
