Advantages: easy to use, adjustable Disadvantages: not good for heavy baby
I bought my BabyBjorn before my baby was born as it seemed to be the carrier everyone was using and so I guessed it must be the best. It IS good - but there are downsides that you should consider before buying. This is a basic pouch type front carrier with excellent safety clips and machine washable.
For a newborn baby a carrier is a very easy way of transprting the baby. My newborn loved this carrier and used to fall asleep as soon as I started walking (very handy when you want to actually eat your dinner when still hot!) The only issue I had with this is that because the baby is so small when their head rests on you it does look uncomfortable and I actually had people on buses tell me that it was not a safe position for a newborn baby! (it IS perfectly safe but just looks a little funny) The alternative for this would be a sling ...
Advantages: good weight distribution Disadvantages: don't break it!
My first daughter was born 10 years ago and it being November and not having enough money to buy a pushchair straight away we bought a second hand carrier to take her around in and when it was cold tucked her in our coats. 10 ½ years on we have a second daughter so being enamoured of carriers and totally out of touch I did a bit of research. It seemed that BabyBjorn were ?the? ones to go for especially if you had a bit more cash to hand.
At 6 months pregnant I wondered off to our local baby equipment shop to look at carriers and lo and behold they had a feature on the Activ that was not out yet but would be widely available by the time I had given birth. I was still a bit dubious at £70 a lot of money for what it is but I figured it would get lots and lots of use as you can carrier up to 13 Kilos and it had lots of back support ...
Advantages: Easy to assemble Disadvantages: Possibility of back strain
UPDATE: This item allows you to carry your baby in a sling-type system across your chest. THe baby can face outwards or inwards. I have now had the BabyBjorn in use for 3.5 months. It has been used almost everyday.
I was shown once in a shop how to use it and could easily repeat the process at home - I practiced with a teddy bear at first. Even without this, the instructions are very clear with pictures and text description. They detail the minimum and maximum baby weights for safe use. From 8lb (3.5Kg) to 22lb (10Kg). Cleverly, there is also a picture explanation sewn onto the BabyBjorn in case you lose the instructions.
It comes in two parts. There is the strapping which you put on like a jacket. The baby carrier part then clips into this in three places either side. It is colour coded for ease of use. There is then ...
