Baby Carrier Air

We bought this carrier for our first baby which is now one she still actually fits into it but not so good for my shouders.

This was a lifesaver when she was a new born as she was very attached to mummy and needed to be carried everywhere in the sling, saved me having to carry her non stop during the day... as she got older this was great as she could be turned around and see the world around her.

We have used this for going travelling on the plane overseas and honestly i am glad we invested the money into it, i love the mesh as it seems to brethe more than some other models, got another model for my mums sister seemed more sturdy but not as airy.

Will definately use this for our second child. Also very easy to wash and great in shopping malls and grocery stores not as bulky as the pram :)

I bought one of these when I had my first child 3 years ago and have since used it for my second child also. I have to say that, although it's only really been useful when the kids were quite little and light, it has been a fantastic purchase for us. Due to having c-sections I was unable to use my other carrier with a waist strap right away as it hurt too much. However  my kids both had reflux and liked to be carried constantly, so my Baby Bjorn was a lifesaver for me as I would never have been able to get anything done without it.

I was able to use this carrier with my daughter until she was around 7 or so months old (she was much lighter than my son), and for my son until he was around 5 or 6 months. Having said that, I used it a lot in that time including doing all the shopping, and I liked the fact that I didn't have to put my newborn babies into the baby carriers on the shopping trolleys and expose them to millions of germs at such a young age. 

It is also very easy to use, and even my husband is able to put it on quite easily. I liked the fact that I didn't have to remove the whole carrier to get my babies out of it, and I was able to get them into it very quickly to get into the shops etc. I also liked that it was not a bulky carrier to wear, and I could wear it over my shirt and put a jacket or cardigan over the top without looking silly (so I was able to remove the jacket without taking off the carrier if I got too hot).

So all in all, it's a carrier that won't last until your kids are toddlers.. but it can be very useful in that short amount of time. Particularly if, like me, you are able to pick one up on sale and you use it for more than one child.  

This was my very first baby carrier. I was drawn to its mesh material as I thought it would be great for our yearly QLD holiday. The pictures also convinced me that it would be great for DH to use too. 

It was good for the first few months, but as my baby grew, my back pain increased. As I had a C/S and had adominal seperation, my Osteopath actually tried to convince me that babycarrying with a BabyBjorn was not for me :( So I went about investigating other options (and found it).

What  I did like about this carrier was that DH could use it easily. The snap inserts to put it on and off where quick and easy, and it could be machine washable.

The biggest draw back was that its not supportive for the wearer, and I now know it doesnt have a very good position or saddle for baby.

When i first received this carrier my baby was 3 days old. It seemed like a magnificent carrier, the answer to what i wanted - it was, but not for long...

This carrier is very easy to operate and for the days when your barely able to open your eyes you need an eay carrier.

My son absolutely loved it and fell asleep in it nearly every time, i could easily lift him out of the car and put him into the carrier for him to fall straight back asleep. It was very easy on my back at first but my baby was a newborn and still very light.

Fast forward 6 months ahead and this carrier was hurting my back and shoulders so much that i could no longer use it and had to use only my pram. This was unfortunate as my son still very much wanted to be held when we were out.

This carrier retails for over $210 and for less than 6 months use not worth it.

Pros:
It was easy to adjust for my husband and i to both use it
Quick to get baby into

Cons:
Cant be used for long
Expensive
