Author's Rating:
Pros: Easy to get in and out of and fits a verity of body types
Cons: Lack of back support, straps dig when within a few pounds of the weight limit
The Bottom Line: null
Review: The carrier is easy to use. My husband is 6'5"and I am 5'6"and we were both able to wear it easily. But before we hit the maximum weight limit it start to hurt our backs. I loved it, but he out grew it by 7 months old and was too small for it until... Read Full Review by mduguay, Jul 21, 2008

A bit pricey, I should have got the more affordable brand
Author's Rating:
Pros: Fun for baby, available at most retail stores.
Cons: Expensive, front padding might chafe little infants.
The Bottom Line: This has an average rating so I can't recommend it to others. I wish I got the Snugli instead.
Review: I put this on my registry since it was one of the top sellers at Babies R Us and at Target. I was torn between this 80 dollar Babybjorn and this 40 dollar other brand, but I went with the Babybjorn hoping someone would get it for us. I first tried...

Works for some and not for others
Author's Rating:
Pros: None.
Cons: Using the is product caused me significant back pain.
The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this product due to the back pain I can directly link to this product's use.
Review: I bought this product when my son was born as I had heard that the Bjorn was the only choice in soft baby carriers. I did think that the product was fairly easy to use and adjust. I used it walking around the house and doing housework. I even used... Read Full Review by sillysteph, Apr 18, 2008

Cons: Expensive! (But worth it!)
The Bottom Line: An essential for any parent who leaves the house!
Review: With my first kiddo I had heard about Baby Bjorn, but the price just didn't work for me. I bought another one and it was awful. Just never seemed to fit right and was an ordeal to put on. SO, baby two, I splurged, and this was the BEST purchase. This... Read Full Review by dagny123, Mar 18, 2008
Easy to use with small babes, hard on your back!
Author's Rating:
Pros: simple to use, safe for very small baby
Cons: Ouch, my back hurt after a short period of time, even with my tiny baby.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: I bought the basic city black Baby Bjorn when my son was about 6 weeks old and 8 lbs. I liked it because it was easy to clip up and put on by myself and it held the baby very snugly. However, I only used this carrier for about 2 months, and I could... Read Full Review by sshess, Feb 23, 2008

Review: The Baby Bjorn is a great carrier and very well made. I purchased one when my second child was born. I purchased it from Ebay because I wasn't sure if he was going to like it or not. I had tried using a carrier when my daughter was a baby and she... Read Full Review by annettev, Feb 22, 2008

The Bottom Line: If you truly want the"rolls royce"of baby carriers, this is it, as long as you are of average size.
Review: We purchased this Bjorn carrier after having our fourth child, after reading recommendations in parenting magazines. It was expensive, and a bit of an investment, but one that I was willing to make. It is a very high quality baby carrier, with well made... Read Full Review by oreothief, Feb 16, 2008
a great attachment parenting accessory
Author's Rating:
Pros: Extremely user-friendly, easy to commit to attachment parenting tactics
Cons: Doesn't really"grow with baby"but is too small by about 8 months.
The Bottom Line: Great quality to this carrier! Had to invest in the backpack style carrier once my children got to be 20 pounds, though.
Review: I have used the Baby Bjorn carrier for both my first and second children. I plan to do so with my third, due in May, as well. I found the carrier to be very easy to use. The adjustments are a little cumbersome at first, but once you get the hang... Read Full Review by faithdean, Feb 13, 2008

Pros: Tremendously convenient for carrying baby and maintaining close contact while out and about.
Cons: Hard on caregiver's lower back; child will outgrow it by 6 months.
The Bottom Line: This is a must have item for new parents.
Review: Baby Bjorn has become synonymous with baby-wearing, or carrying the baby on your person. We interchanged between a Baby Bjorn and a cloth wrap for our son, and it was clear that he definitely preferred the Bjorn. He could see better, move his hands and...

Pros: simplicity
Cons: None so far.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: I've always been happy with Bjorn products I bought, and the Bjorn Carrier is no different! It's the third or fourth soft carrier I've tried, but by far the best. The simplicity is the big feature. There isn't a lot of buckles, snaps... Read Full Review by bdhmama, Jul 17, 2007
Author's Rating:
Pros: comfortable, great when infants are tiny
Cons: Won't adjust, so babies outgrow quickly
The Bottom Line: null
Review: This carrier is easy to use and comfortable -- but if chubby babies run in your family, get something else. There are no adjustments for width as the baby grows. Both of my children (who are now average builds, but were quite chubby as babies) outgrew... Read Full Review by ktlandon, Jun 24, 2007
