City Baby Carrier

Believe the hype! I had tried 3 other inexpensive baby carriers when I decided to buy a Babybjorn City Carrier. I had read many positive reviews and knew it had an excellent reputation for making baby carrying easier on your back. I looked on Ebay and Craigslist, and finally found one on Craigslist for $40.00. I bought it when my baby was 8 months old and weighed about 18 pounds. It was the beginning of the spring so I knew I'd still get alot of use out of it. Our family loves to go to the farmer's market and on long walks around the neighborhood. I can't believe the difference!! I am sooo mad that I wasted 8 months trying to "get used" to the other ones. I should have just spent the money in the first place- which is what I strongly encourage you to do! She seems so comfortable, never fussy as she was in the others I tried. The longest I wore her was for an hour and it was glorious! Once you get used to how to put the 2 separate pieces together then its a breeze. I've always used it in the forward facing position, so I can't comment on how it works with newborns.Although others may not like the color, personally, I like the color black. Its more neutral than those plaid or colorful carriers. This is a must have baby item, you won't regret it.
