Price Range: $40.00 - $80.00 from 17 stores

The product that has made BABYBJÖRN world famous. Developed together with parents and leading medical experts, the BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier keeps baby close and warm while allowing Mom and Dad to carry on with daily activities.The carrier provides safe and snug head support for the small baby. When your baby becomes a little older and his neck is strong enough to support his head, he can be carried facing outward. The neck-rest can then be folded down giving the baby a birds-eye view of his surroundings. The carrier grows with the baby thanks to an adjustable buckle that gives maximum comfort for all ages.

Love this carrier! Doesn't get better than this!

With my first kiddo I had heard about Baby Bjorn, but the price just didn't work for me. I bought another one and it was awful. Just never seemed to fit right and was an ordeal to put on. SO, baby two, I splurged, and this was the BEST purchase. This... more

Expensive! (But worth it!)

Baby Bjorn has become synonymous with baby-wearing, or carrying the baby on your person. We interchanged between a Baby Bjorn and a cloth wrap for our son, and it was clear that he definitely preferred the Bjorn. He could see better, move his hands and... more

Tremendously convenient for carrying baby and maintaining close contact while out and about.

Cons

Hard on caregiver's lower back; child will outgrow it by 6 months.

Bottomline

This is a must have item for new parents.

I bought this product when my son was born as I had heard that the Bjorn was the only choice in soft baby carriers. I did think that the product was fairly easy to use and adjust. I used it walking around the house and doing housework. I even used... more

Pros

None.

Cons

Using the is product caused me significant back pain.

Bottomline

I do not recommend this product due to the back pain I can directly link to this product's use.

The Baby Bjorn is a great carrier and very well made. I purchased one when my second child was born. I purchased it from Ebay because I wasn't sure if he was going to like it or not. I had tried using a carrier when my daughter was a baby and she... more

Pros

Very well made carrier that's great for carrying around small babies and keeping hands free

Cons

A little tricky to put on and hard on the back when carrying heavier babies

Bottomline

I would recommend this to anyone with a small baby, especially those with other children. Works great for keeping baby close and hands free.

I have used the Baby Bjorn carrier for both my first and second children. I plan to do so with my third, due in May, as well. I found the carrier to be very easy to use. The adjustments are a little cumbersome at first, but once you get the hang... more

Pros

Extremely user-friendly, easy to commit to attachment parenting tactics

Cons

Doesn't really "grow with baby" but is too small by about 8 months.

Bottomline

Great quality to this carrier! Had to invest in the backpack style carrier once my children got to be 20 pounds, though.

A bit pricey, I should have got the more affordable brand

I put this on my registry since it was one of the top sellers at Babies R Us and at Target. I was torn between this 80 dollar Babybjorn and this 40 dollar other brand, but I went with the Babybjorn hoping someone would get it for us. I first tried... more

Pros

Fun for baby, available at most retail stores.

Cons

Expensive, front padding might chafe little infants.

Bottomline

This has an average rating so I can't recommend it to others. I wish I got the Snugli instead.

Try it before you buy it!

We purchased this Bjorn carrier after having our fourth child, after reading recommendations in parenting magazines. It was expensive, and a bit of an investment, but one that I was willing to make. It is a very high quality baby carrier, with well made... more

Quality, stylish, comfortable. Bjorn brand name.

Cons

Expensive, difficult to put on.

Bottomline

If you truly want the "rolls royce" of baby carriers, this is it, as long as you are of average size.
