Baby Products Reviews of BabyBj?rn Baby Carrier Original - City BlackCustomer Review: Happy Baby = Happy Parents Summary: 5 StarsWhy oh why did I not buy one of these for my first baby? I am now kicking myself! This product is fantastic! My baby loves being snuggled close to me and it leaves my hands free to wrangle my toddler! I also love the chocolate brown color as it is very unique -a lot of people have the navy blue Baby Bjorn. Now when I have to buy a baby shower gift I will buy one of these.
Customer Review: needs a waist strap Summary: 2 StarsI bought this item for my 11 week old who weighs 12 lb since it has gotten such great reviews and I was looking for a forward facing carrier. I must say that I am a bit disappointed with it. First it sits too high on the chest making it easy for his head to hit my chin when facing outward. Also this is a carrier that one cannot nurse with, unfortunately, when facing inward. But most irksome is the stress that it places upon my back. I am a fit, active woman of average height who has never had an issue with my back- not even during pregnancy but this carrier makes my mid to upper back tired and strained. I also have an Ergo carrier which is very comfortable but is only an inward facing carrier. The Ergo has a hefty waist strap that bears all the weight leaving the shoulders free of strain. The Bjorn carrier is probably great for the first 2 months but I can't imagine carrying a 15 or 20 lb infant in it.
Customer Review: a classic Summary: 4 Stars A true classic. At this point the Bjorn is a staple in many homes, or on many bodies rather, and I do love the convenience, but I found that my back still hurt when carrying a baby that was close to the posted weight limit. That is much more likely due to the fact that I am of little stature than a flaw in the product itself. Also, don't you love seeing a man carrying a baby in one of these? tres sexy.
Customer Review: Good for newborns, but.... Summary: 3 StarsI loved my bjorn when my baby was a newborn, but after she got a little bigger I felt like all of the weight was on my shoulders! (and yes, I even went to a baby wearing expert to adjust it- it did not help) And I read that the "crotch" hold of the bjorn can compress a baby's growing spine. I switched to the Ergo Carrier at about 4 months and could not have been happier with the Ergo- all the weight is on my hips, and although she faces inward in the front carry position, she can switch to side or back carrier to see more. (and it is great when she falls asleep!)
Customer Review: Baby Loves This Carrier!!! Summary: 5 StarsOur baby absolutely LOVES this carrier! He absolutely loves going for walks outside in this or just even doing the laundry! The first time we put him in it, he was only a month old and he was fussy. But we tried it again a few weeks later and he loved it! He especially likes it when he can face out and see the world. And the soothing rocking motion he gets when riding in this often puts him to sleep. I absolutely recommend this product to any new parent!
