Baby Goes Where You Go!
I love the Baby Bjorn carrier! I have never enjoyed using a sling, and toting the carseat around is so akward...since our son was 8lbs when he was born, we didn't wait long until we tried him out in the Bjorn. He loves it as much as we do! It's perfect for Mommies & Daddies...comfortable & easy to adjust for short/busty Mommy and tall/slim Daddy...and the green gets the Mommy & Daddy thumbs-up! Facing inward, the baby can be snuggly and take a comfy snooze...and facing out, the baby with good head control, gets to see the world at your point of view! This is a must have for every baby shower registery!

baby loves the bjorn
From a week old my baby has nearly lived in his baby bjorn carrier. The only way to calm his fussiness is often to carry him around the house at all hours in this carrier! It has been an absolute lifesaver. We have tried every carrier and sling out there, and this is the only one he will go in without screaming. I imagine that when he gets older I'll move to a lillebaby or ergo, which should to be better on the back. Although for now, the bjorn is my #1 pick.

Great for dads, too
I enjoyed using the Bjorn to give my arms a break from a baby that always wanted to be held. I've found babies are much more content when they're being worn or carried. The Bjorn gave me my hands-free and helped to distribute the weight. The best part for us has been that my husband will wear it, too. While I've also fallen in love with other carriers and wraps, the Bjorn is just "masculine" and sporty enough that my husband will help with his share of the baby care.

Great for the first 3-6 months
I love these carriers when they are little. It is the only way I carried my babies in the city. I felt very secure having them close to me and they slept most of the time they were in it so I know they were comfortable.

Great for city parents
I am still using the "bjorn active carrier" with my 11 month old baby girl who weighs about 21 lbs now. It's been especially great for subway and bus travel, and in airports and small shops, when a stroller would be too bulky and big.

Great way to stay close
Great way to have baby close to you and also has great support. Love that baby can face in or out. Definately would reccomend this over other bjorns due to the extra back support.
When all else fails and baby is having a meltdown, the bjorn is the life saver!

Perfect for active parents
This carrier is great to have for parents like me who run around the house all the time, cooking, picking up, washing clothes and dishes, etc. and want/need to have their baby nearby. Especially great if your child likes to nap close to you but you need to be doing chores.
The only thing that bothered me was that my shoulders felt tight after wearing the Bjorn- I think this is likely because I tensed my shoulders with the baby in the carrier.

Hassle to Put on but Worth it!
I have this carrier and it's great! The only problem is it's a bit of work to actually get on. The way I put it on is to put it over my head and the strap baby in. I wish there was a way to put it around you instead of over your head. Once it is on the baby is in it's great! Also, great for travel because it's small and light. Excellent back support!

Not good for short people
Being both short and short-waisted, I have never been able to adjust the Bjorn to fit comfortably. As a result it always drags on my neck and shoulders and is very uncomfortable. While my husband swears by it, I find that unless I am carrying a very small child for very short distances, the discomfort is not worth the convenience.

Love this model the best!
My friends had warned me that the baby bjorn doesn't provide the best support and isn't the most comfortable - however, i found the cadillac of baby bjorns and found it to work out perfectly and well worth the extra money! My baby loves the bjorn and while it was a toss up for us between this and the ergo baby, she seemed to fit in the bjorn much better. Each baby is different so my suggestion is to try it out with your baby and see what best suits him/her!

Great carrier, could be more compact
This is a comfortable carrier to wear, and my 3-month old likes it a lot. I only wish it folds compactly somehow for easier storage.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS
I love this and would be lost without it on long walks when I take my dog and my husband is not around. My son LOVES this and we purchased a sling (JJ Cole PreMax design) for husband but he doesn't use it and uses this instead as well. Very breathable my son is normally very sweaty but not in this! It's also very comfortable for me to wear and easy to take on and off.

Dad's love it!
My husband loves this carrier and it is great to take the baby out in to do errands since it leaves your hands free. I personally find it hard on the back to run around in for an extended time but it is perfect for short jaunts. The baby loves it - looking around and swinging those legs around!

Won't leave home without it!
When I pack my diaper bag for my 6 month old, this always comes with me. With 2 boys, 5 and 3 the Baby Bjorn helps me to juggle the boys and carry the baby safely with me. Especially helpful when riding the train or bus.

Good for tall people
my 6' 5" tall husband preferred this carrier while i would definitely choose the Ergo carrier for it's ability to wear on the back or front and super comfy.
