Amazon.com Review
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 Original is an international favorite.  | | Padded shoulder straps make it perfect for dads on the go. | Knowing the strain that can come with frequently carrying a 26-, 15-, or even 8-pound baby, BabyBjörn developed this carrier with wide, padded shoulder straps that help to evenly distribute baby's weight. (You should ensure that the straps are adjusted correctly each time you put the carrier on, as baby's size changes and other users may have moved them.) Taller or bigger parents may want to consider buying the larger shoulder straps (sold separately) or the BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Active that provides adjustable lumbar support.  | | 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 25 pounds. Newborns first face inward using the 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 allows the front piece to be easily removed so as not to wake a sound sleeping baby when taking off the carrier. The material is machine-washable cotton and the carrier comes in a variety of colors. Another great feature of BabyBjörn carriers is their straightforward assembly and suggested adjustments based on baby's size and weight. This makes it easy for one person to manage baby and carrier when no one else is available to help.

Comfortable Carrying and Easy Adjustment
Carrying baby in your arms can be a wonderful bonding experience, but it can also strain the muscles in your back, shoulders and neck. That's why the Original BabyBjorn is designed to evenly distribute baby's weight, resulting in less stress and pressure on your body. When adjusted correctly, the padded shoulder straps allow you to comfortably carry a baby weighing at least eight pounds and 21 inches (about one week old) to a maximum weight of 25 pounds. It's also easy to slip on and buckle the Original BabyBjorn, even without assistance, and all the necessary adjustments can conveniently be made from the front. Supports Growing Babies
The Original BabyBjorn offers firm support that holds your baby's legs and arms in a physiologically correct position to protect his or her back and head. When your baby is a little older and has a stronger neck, the neck-rest can be folded down and you can adjust the seat height so that the child can face forward and look around--something curious babies love while you're cooking dinner, cleaning the house, or walking through the neighborhood. The unique design also allows the front piece to be easily removed so as not to wake a sound sleeping baby when you're taking off the carrier.
Easy-Care, Eco-Friendly Construction
The recipient of several awards, including the 1999 Silver Award and Design of the Decade ISDA, which honors the 36 top products of the decade, this BabyBjorn is both reliable and easy to care for. It can be machine washed separately in warm water, with a gentle, bleach-free detergent, and hung to dry. The Original BabyBjorn is also approved in accordance with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1, eco-certification, so you can trust that it's safe for baby. About BabyBjorn

 Much better alternatives out there for baby carriers November 20, 2008
New Mom in the City (New York)
Baby Bjorn was the pioneer for baby carriers 10 years ago but since then there has been an explosion in the market - slings, front carriers, pouches, etc. The BEST, in my honest opinion, is the Ergo. The baby sits with correct posture (The Bjorn is not so great for the baby's spine) and the parent is not in pain! I can walk for hours with my 20 lb baby in the Ergo -- not so in the Bjorn.
 very happy November 2, 2008
Reza Zandinejad
we have a preemie and she doesn't like to be alone. this carrier allows my wife and i do house work and have our baby girl close to us. i do recommend this item.
Still great after 5 children-also good for all body shapes October 24, 2008

I received the Baby Bjorn as a baby gift in 2002 with my 1st child. I used it constantly and really liked that it freed up my hands. My son did the forward and rear facing and was very happy. He would fall asleep easily and stay asleep when we were out. I let a friend borrow it for a year and she loved using it too! Since then, I have had 3 more children. I used it constantly with my 2nd and 3rd. I prefer a sling with a newborn, but this is great once they are a few months old. It is still in great condition and will easily make it through many more children. The only drawback was that if the child was forward facing they would drool on the carrier and sometimes the black would get on their clothes. I would just use a burp cloth around the edge so this wouldn't happen. Now, Baby Bjorn came out with the bibs you put around the edge to solve this.
I am a plus size Mom so I am so happy with how this easily fits on me. My husband also will wear it since it can easily adjust to fit him and it is a neutral color. It feels fine on my shoulders. I wore my 1 year old son while a few months pregnant all over Disney World and it was great. I have tried other infant carriers and this is the best one I have found!
There's a reason October 21, 2008

...everyone has them - They are great! Great as a gift or for yourself. You won't regret having one.
Awesome Baby Carrier September 19, 2008
Kyle Bell (Chicagoland, IL USA)
The BabyBjorn is a great baby carrier. While it's not switchable to wear on the back that simplicity actually makes me like the product more. My wife and I tried a carrier that could be worn on the front or back but there were so many straps it's hard to get into and out of and get your child into. The Baby Bjorn is very simple and secure and my daughter loves riding in it. I've taken to carrying her around the house in it just to do everyday things because she loves riding in it so much and it keeps her calm and happy to be held. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a carrier.
