This baby carrier is definitely worth the extra money. However, there are some things new parents should be aware of before they buy this. We started trying to use this when our son was just a couple of weeks old, and he didn't like having his arms and legs put through the arm and leg holes. He much preferred being carried in a sling, as this allowed him to hold his arms and legs in close to his body. After a few months, we tried again, and he loved being carried in it while facing out.

It is very simple to put on and easy to adjust as baby grows. It can get a little uncomfortable as baby begins to weigh more. But nothing beats the simplicity of carrying your baby this way, and having both hands free can be a revelation for those of us blessed with high need babies.

One more thing: if you're tall (5'7" and up) get the extra long straps, either with the carrier or you can order them seperately.

The Bjorn is really the best carrier we have found. I had requested the Graco 3 in 1 on my registry and in the meantime tried two others with no luck(both were handed down thankfully) My mother-in-law called and asked if I had read these online reviews and that Graco didn't do so well either. After reading quite a few it was evident the Bjorn was the favorite. I was hesitant about the price. Now I say it is well worth yours or your mother-in-laws money! I used it once and my 2 month old and I fell in love. Very easy, comfortable, and yes my baby hardly knew he was being put in and taken out. And stylish too. Where I live there is lots to see and do and a stroller just holds you back. I can't wait for many more adventures with the Bjorn carrier.

I have tried several baby carriers, and I have found NOTHING to compare to this one. Granted, it is the most expensive, but it is also the most comfortable, and most adaptable my shape as well as my growing baby. The two things that I love are it's VERY EASY to adjust straps, and the VERY simple design of putting the baby into and taking the baby out of the carrier. What in the world were the designers of other carriers thinking when they designed those models that had to slide over your head in order to get the baby out? They obviously were not testing that with a SLEEPING child. I can literally unhook the sides of the Bjorn carrier and lie my baby down on her bed without disturbing her sleep. Plus, and this is a BIG PLUS, it is COMFORTABLE--not only to me, but to my baby. It is soft and padded, and the way the back straps are designed, they can be adjusted to distribute the baby's weight in whatever way I am most comfortable with it. Also, I can make these adjustments WITH THE BABY IN THE CARRIER--No more pulling it on and off to get it right...I am not planning on having any more children, but I felt that it was well worth the price I paid for it. I keep my baby "on" for hours and she is THRILLED with that. I can do that because I never feel tired from carrying her around in the carrier. It is literally THAT COMFORTABLE. Plus, I have two hands free to chase after my other two very energetic children! I really wish that I had bought on of these carriers sooner. I was trying to save a few bucks, and I now regret not buying it and using it with my other children. I am a very happy customer, and highly recommend this product to other new mothers.

We borrowed one of these carriers for our third child when our cheap Snuggli broke (with the baby in it) and I instantly regretted not buying my own Bjorn for my first child. It was the best carrier I ever used. We took it with us when we traveled to Israel and my husband and I took turns wearing our 18lb baby everywhere! We all loved the freedom of movement and comfort of the carrier. I now give them as gifts to friends and family who are having babies. The Baby Bjorn is worth every penny. It would have cost us less to buy a good front pack once than to buy several cheaper ones over the years.

The Baby Bjorn carrier is the caviar of carriers. It is comfortable to wear because of the wide, nicely padded straps, and is easily adjusted to fit a wide range of sizes. (My 6-foot brother wore this as comfortably as I did (at 5'3")). We did, however, switch over to a back-pack carrier once our daughter reached 20 pounds. It is easy to put on and take off, though it may be a bit confusing the first time or two. The child can face forwards or backwards. It is also machine-washable. We bought this because it was highly recommended in Baby Bargains, and we haven't been disappointed.

I cannot believe I waited until my 3rd baby to buy one of these!! I'd always seen other Mum's and Dad's using them when we were out and about but always thought they'd be really uncomfortable.

Well, I finally bought one and tried it with the birth of my 3rd child, (Mainly because I couldn't convince my eldest daugther, 3, to give up her seat in our double pram!) AND I LOVE IT!

For me, it is extremely comfortable to use. I've used it for short and long periods (all day) of time and haven't had any problems.

What I love about the Baby Bjorn carrier is that it's so easy to use alone. It's easy to strap on, pick up your baby, strap him or her in and off you go. It's also really easy to get the baby out again. The buckles and fasteners are easy to use and adjust as needed.

My son loves it - he sleeps in it, or looks around as we walk along. We've used it on walks, outings or just around the house. I also use it when I go with my girls to playgroup. I have two hands free to help them on play equipment and my son gets to see what his big sisters are doing.

I would suggest trying before you buy if you do have any back problems as it may not suit you, but is has been a huge success in this house.

We received Baby Bjorn as a baby shower gift and couldn't wait until she was 8 lbs to try it. Well, she HATED it. She screamed, so we returned it. Baby is now 5 months old and seems to love walking around while facing forward. We bought the newer Baby Bjorn that has a sliding hasps rather than the hard to close snaps. She LOVES it. Best of all, we can get household chores done while feeling close to her. I tried some others on while at Babies R Us and the Bjorn seems to distribute the weight much better than the other.

At first, I thought this carrier was great. Being carried so closely seemed to soothe the baby and even make her fall asleep when it wasn't even close to naptime. And it was great to have two free hands when she was still awake. But breastfeeding moms beware! If you wear the carrier for more than 10-15 minutes, you may get plugged ducts which are extremely painful and can lead to infection. My baby only weighs 10 pounds and the minimum recommended weight for the carrier is 8 pounds. THe pressure that those straps put on the chest can cause these plugged ducts. I've tried repositioning the straps so that one falls outside my chest and the other in between. Didn't work. I'd return this expensive carrier if I could but I threw out the packaging! Luckily, dads won't have such a problem!

The Bjorn carrier was useful when I needed to walk the dog and it also helped my baby fall asleep. It was pretty easy to put on and get my baby in and out, although I noticed that the side latches became difficult to slide in the groove once my baby became bigger (but still under 20lbs) and would come undone if I didn't make sure they were latched properly. I found it difficult to do household chores w/ the carrier because I couldn't see properly over my baby's head and if I lowered the sliding buckle then my baby's arms would be uncomfortable since they have to go through the armholes. Although the carrier says you can carry a baby up to 33lbs, even before my baby was 20lbs using the carrier became very uncomfortable. It would put a strain on my neck and shoulder muscles and give me a headache. When I turned my baby around to face front wards, my baby was able to flip the infant head support up and it would cover his face. My baby was almost 10lbs when he was born so the carrier was only good for a few weeks. If your baby is small and if you don't plan on doing anything except go for walks when using the carrier then purchase it, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. I think its popularity is simply due to all the hype it receives.

I bought this carrier long before I gave birth to my daughter at the advice of online friends. It is well worth the extra money, I love mine! My daughter really enjoys it. She's almost nine months old now and she's getting heavier and I still use it, though I don't know how long I'll continue to use it, she's growing so fast! She loves to face out and watch people and as a newborn, I faced her in and she could comfortably lay her head on my chest and sleep.

I highly recommend this product to any new parents!!!
