Baby Products Reviews of BabyBj?rn Baby Carrier Original - City Black
Customer Review: Read THIS! It may just save your back!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This has been one of my greatest buys for baby #1 and now #2. We are using the same bjorn I bought for DD #1 in 2004 and it still looks brand new. It is the best designed carrier, and that matters why? Because it is easy to use, you can lay down a sleeping baby, it is more comfortable for your baby and easier on your back. Spend the $! Get the Bjorn, you won't be sorry.
SAVE YOUR BACK:
Nearly every mom I see wearing their Bjorn is wearing it wrong! When they seem friendly, I share this tip with them. The black plastic cross piece in the back (where the straps cross through the plastic piece) MUST BE BELOW YOUR SHOULDER BLADES! Just about my bra line is where it is most comfortable, right in the middle. When my back starts to hurt, I reach my arm around my back and re adjust it lower. It is instant relief and comfort again! This makes sure the weight of the baby is on your frame instead of pulling at your shoulders. Everyone I tell is so happy, it makes a huge difference. Guess that's one plus of being a read-the-manual type.
The Bjorn is most comfortable until about 9 mos. The babies really seem to dig it about 4 mos plus, when they can face out. Before that, I love the Hotsling and Peanut Shell.
Customer Review: Wish it was more comfortable

We bought the baby bjorn in hopes that it would be simpler/faster to use than our "ultimate baby wrap". Positives are that it is easy to put on/put baby into (especially with a second set of hands), can be worn OVER a thick winter coat (difficult with a wrap-style carrier), and seems quite well-made and secure and comfy for the baby. Also looks more masculine for dad to wear than a wrap/sling. Negatives are that it is offers very little support for the wearer and is MUCH more uncomfortable than our baby wrap. Our daughter is only 11 lbs. I can't imagine the back pain I'll have when she is bigger! We have since gone back to using our baby wrap- which just takes a bit more practice to get the hang of. Not sure why these things are SO popular...Customer Review: Very handy

My 4 month old daughter loves this carrier! We have been using it for about two months now and it's so nice to have two free hands while still holding the baby. Customer Review: One of the greatest baby things
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this more than any other baby product aside from diapers. My son loves it & I love it. It is comfortable and convenient. I am able to get work done around the house and entertain my child at the same time. I prefer this over our stroller. They should give these out at the hospital when you leave.Customer Review: Awesome

I have this carrier and am using it with Baby #2. When adjusted correctly, you should not have back pain, I have a bad back and it does not bother me at all when wearing this. It is extremely durable and has survived some really good use.
Some people have said the carrier is not machine washable... I don't know where they are getting that from. It IS machine washable, as it's instructions clearly say, and mine has been washed dozens of times as my daughter was a "spitter" and threw up at least a portion of every bottle for 9 months.
