Awesome carrier, worth the money!!
Date of Review: Aug 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: I really recommend this carrier, it can be used longer than other and is more durable. It is comfortable and babies love to be near the ones they love!
I bought this carrier for my second child, I wish I had had it for my first. I purchased this so I get some house work done! (I also saw a celeb mom with one in a magazine!) My daughter loved to be held, so I decided to purchase a carrier, the Baby Bjorn was the second one I purchased. The first (a different brand) was uncomfortable and awkward, not mention ugly! I also used this carrier when we went to the Mall of America, when my daughter got antsy in her stroller, she enjoyed the carrier much more. I purchased the Baby Bjorn with the extra large straps so that my husband could use it. He is 6'3" and has broad shoulders. The carrier did not fit him, I was disappointed, but it still fit me, I am 5'8" and average build. The only thing I did not like about this carrier was that if you try to bend down, even slightly, it feels as if the baby is going to fall right out. This carrier is designed for baby to be up higher than other carriers, so your shoulders are not being pulled downward and there is less back strain. Also this carrier can be used until baby is 33lbs., other carriers limit is 20lbs. All in all I highly recommend this carrier!
