Babybjörn XL

Pros: Looks good, even after washes.

Cons: Uncomfortable, expensive.

Review: I purchased this carrier after being assured it was the most comfortable carrier around. It was $80, a lot more then the others, but I believed it must be comfortable. I am 6'2" and I don't know if that is why it killed my back, but it did. I...

Pros: Longer straps for more room. Can hold newborns 8+ lbs. Discreet nursing.

Cons: It doesn't hold toddlers (over about 25 lbs.) comfortably.

Review: I loved my Baby Bjorn so much with kid #1 that when I had my twins I had to get one for my husband. Only problem... it didn't fit! At 235 and 6', he was wearing it around his neck. The XL saved us! He can comfortably wear it and he doesn't complain...

Pros: So comfy and easy to use.

Cons: It may not work as well for larger young babies.

The Bottom Line: This is a comfortable carrier that is easy to use and looks very nice.

Review: We've had this carrier since our baby was born. It is wonderful to use for a newborn since it is very comfortable and it keeps him/her right next to you keeping strangers from sticking their fingers in your babies mouth (this actually happened to us...

Pros: Easy in and out, sits up higher on chest than others.

Cons: If you bend forward at all baby feels like she is going to fall out!

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!

Review: 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...

Pros: It's easy to use and comfortable.

Cons: Price

Review: Thank goodness for this carrier! My little girl spent a great deal of time in this carrier. My daughter is 5 months and still loves her Baby Bjorn!

Pros: Convenient place to "park" baby, very durable

Cons: Some difficulty on initial setup, not a lot of support when front-facing baby falls asleep

Review: My husband and I are both on the plus size side of life and were concerned that even the XL wouldn't work. (At the time the baby was born, he was 5'11" and 400lbs. But he's already lost 150!) The XL seemed like our best option.

I find the...

Pros: washable, comfy straps, xl for long waisted

Cons: you have to read the directions to know the best ways to use it

Review: This is really one of the items I could not have lived without. My baby really loved being with me and I loved having my hands free to deal with her two big brothers. This is a great carrier and really worth the money. It is very washable and if you...

Pros: Durable, good for times when a stroller is impractical

Cons: Very expensive, may strain the user's back and shoulders

The Bottom Line: It's a durable carrier, but hurts my back and shoulders, and wow is it expensive... not sure it's worth it.

Review: After doing quite a bit of research about baby carriers, I was convinced I needed to buy the Baby Bjorn. It sounded great, looked easy enough to use, and the majority of users rated it highly. I thought we could use it during times when carting...

Pros: Perfect for places where strollers aren't allowed.

Cons: Straps hurt my chest and shoulders. My son hated being in this.

The Bottom Line: This carrier is easy to use, but I always felt uncomfortable wearing it and my son hated it.

Review: I can't count how many wonderful write-ups I read on the Baby Bjorn front carriers. We chose the extra-large straps version because my husband and I are on the tall side. Everything else except the shoulder straps is the same as the original Baby...

Pros: Hands-free, easy to use, fits wife and me, baby seems to like it

Cons: A bit awkward at first, takes a little getting used to

The Bottom Line: Recommend highly, due to ease of use, baby and mom/dad comfort, durability, and overall quality of the product.

Review: Being somewhat of a tightwad by nature, and given how much having a newborn costs in the base case, I was hesitant to spend $75 on something of a luxury item for the baby. However, I am happy to say that, in retrospect, I'm glad that I caved in to...
