Having spent nearly the last five decades innovating ideas for infants and toddlers, BabyBjörn is consistently tweaking their products to meet parents' high standards of quality, functionality, and safety. So it's no surprise that this BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Active is the leader of the 'packs. Parents who swear by the original, hands-free BabyBjörn carrier may be skeptical when hearing this style is even better, but it's true.  | | Padded, contoured shoulder straps and lumbar adjustment make this carrier comfortable for the wearer. | Developed with on-the-go parents in mind, Baby Carrier Active offers increased back support by way of a sliding lumbar adjustment that conforms to your torso. (You should ensure that you have the carrier adjusted correctly each time you put it on, as baby's size changes and other users may have moved settings.) This extra support relieves stress on shoulders and back—which is helpful when you've underestimated the strain of carrying a 26-, 15-, or even 8-pound baby. This Carrier Active also features fully adjustable shoulder straps that can accommodate taller and/or bigger parents. The wide, cushioned, contoured straps help to evenly distribute baby's weight.  | | When infants face outward, the built-in head support for newborns folds down in front. | A size adjustment buckle allows BabyBjörn's carrier to grow with baby—from as early as 8 pounds and at least 21 inches (about one week old) to a maximum weight of 26 pounds. Newborns first face inward using the padded, adjustable head support to keep them stable, while older babies face outward with the head support folded down in front of them. The unique design lets mom breastfeed baby discreetly, plus the front piece can be easily removed so as not to wake a sound sleeping baby when taking off the carrier. The material is a breathable, machine-washable cotton/polyester blend that keeps everyone cool and comfortable. Another great quality to the BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Active is the straightforward assembly and color-coded latches. These features make it easy for one person to manage baby and carrier when necessary.

Comfortable Carrying
Sturdy enough to support heavier children for long periods of time, the BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Active helps protect both you and your child. The carrier's innovative design allows you to keep active without worrying about strain on your back, neck and shoulders. Wide, padded and contoured shoulder straps evenly distribute baby's weight, while the sliding adjustable lumbar pad conforms to your torso and offers support for long term comfort. Additionally, should you need to make adjustments for more or less support, you can easily do so in most cases from the front, an option that's particularly convenient if you're traveling without another adult. Flexible Design That Grows With Your Child
The BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Active also provides uncompromising support for your little one's back and head, making sure his or her legs and arms are always in a physiologically correct position. Newborns and very young babies stay close to your heart and face in for warmth and soothing comfort. Soft padding also keeps their head and neck stable, even if your walks take you on uneven terrain or you pick up your speed. As your child grows, this carrier gives you the option of folding down the neck-rest so your child can face forward and look around. He or she will love being able to explore the world while still remaining close to mom or dad. In addition, the size adjustment buckle makes sure baby remains protected throughout his or her development. Helps Facilitate Feeding and Nap Times
The BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Active's unique design is both straightforward and helpful during napping and feeding times. First, thanks to the color-coded latches, it assembles in minutes. Secondly, when your child faces you, you can easily and discretely breastfeed him without first removing him from the carrier. Finally, the front piece removes quickly so you won't have to worry about waking a sleeping baby when you're taking off the carrier. Easy-Care, Eco-Friendly Construction
Made to last and stand up to the normal wear and tear caused by outdoor excursions, the BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Active is made of easy-care cotton and polyester for breathability and cool comfort. To clean the carrier, simply machine wash it separately in warm water with a gentle, bleach-free detergent, and hang to dry. You'll also appreciate that this convenient and helpful carrier is approved in accordance with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1, eco-certification, so you can trust it's safe for baby.

 Baby loves it; I really like it August 30, 2008
Simbolina (Bellevue, WA USA)
The summary: lighter than the regular Bjorn; easy to put on; comfortable.
My baby really likes this. I used the regular Bjorn until she was 5 months old but found she was getting overheated. I bought this and she liked it just as much as she liked the old Bjorn, but she didn't get so hot (and neither did I).
But because it's lighter weight, it's also less stiff so it's a little harder to put your baby in - the sides flop around so you have to basically hold it around your baby like a blanket until she's fastened in (with the regular Bjorn, you can snap one side and your baby is already pretty secure). So I felt nervous the first couple times I used it, but now I'm very comfortable with it and like the lighter feel and greater flexibility.
I also have tried the ErgoBaby, but I like this because my baby can sit in it - facing front or back - and she can keep her legs fairly close together. In the ErgoBaby, she has to spread her legs to sit in it, which I worry is bad for her hip joints.
I've tried the Mobi too, and find that too hard to keep fastened tightly enough to keep my baby in a safe, secure position.
Overall, I find this easy to use, and my baby really likes it - so everyone is happy!
Great carrier July 27, 2008
Piperjoe (Charlotte, NC United States)
If you are looking for a reliable carrier. Look no further. Baby Bjorn has updated the original to include some lumbar support and more comfortable straps. It still is easy to load baby and adjust. The price is the only mark off for this product. It could stand to be a little lower. We have used other carriers and not been as happy as with the Baby Bjorn. We would recommend this product to anyone.

Great Product June 20, 2008
Youpple (Los Angeles, CA USA)
We have a 6 month old son and we have been using this carrier since he was a week old. I think this is a great product. I tried a Moby wrap sling and Infantino side carrier and Infantino 6-in-1 carrier and they just can not compare to BabyBjorn. It's so easy to put on! The fabric is soft enough for the baby, but hard enough so you can adjust the straps every timie you want it. We adjust a lot, because 3 people in the household use it and we all are of different built. We use it at least twice a day when walking our dog.
It is easy on my back as compared to the ones I mentioned above. I can not compare with a classic BabyBjorn though, but we bought this one becuase of Amazon reviews.
I would recommend to buy BabyBjorn bibs for the time when your baby starts riding face out and chewing on the front flap. But even if you don't the carrier is easy washable.
