3.0 out of 5 stars May not fit smaller people, February 8, 2005

I requested the Baby Carrier Active as a gift because the lumbar support sounded so nice, and having used the Baby Carrier Original, I thought this would surely be at least as good and probably better. The straps on the Active carrier do take some getting used to and are not as easy to adjust as those on the Original carrier. My main problem with it is that due to the design of the shoulder straps, they can only be tightened so far. I am 5'4" but fairly small-chested, and I cannot tighten the straps enough to get a really snug fit. The result is that my 17-lb baby still falls forward a little bit, and my shoulders start hurting fairly quickly. I enjoyed the very-adjustable and snug-fitting Original carrier more than this one, and am disappointed the Active carrier, especially knowing how much money was spent to buy it for me. If you are a larger person, this might work well for you. But if you are smaller, buy this somewhere that will let you try it on or take it back, or just go with the Original carrier.

5.0 out of 5 stars In response to D. Websters clarification of "recall" concern, February 4, 2005

Actually, the Baby Bjorn "active" carrier model was recalled in 2004 and the issue concerned the design of the buckle on the back straps and not the leg openings. Apparently, the matter has since been resolved on this model which is now in stores/on-line. Check Baby Bjorn's web site for further information...

5.0 out of 5 stars LifeSaver, December 1, 2004

We use this piece of baby gear more than any other. Baby goes everywhere we go in this carrier. One of us usually puts her in the Baby Bjorn first thing after having our morning coffee and she typically stays there through most of the day. It is especially useful when she is fussy and wanting to be held, but parents have stuff to do. Sometimes it is the only place our baby will nap. The lumbar support is worth the extra money if you plan to carry your baby for long periods of time.
