Baby Carrier Original

I have borrowed my friends Bjorn and I love it, I tried DS in a peanut style sling before the Bjorn and I can honestly say for me that the Bjorn wins hands down.

DS is 10kgs now and I can still handle his weight although I think it won’t be long before I have to stop using it.

DS also loves to be faced out so he can have a chat to people too.

I bought a Bjorn second hand, so didn't spend much on it.  I used it quite a bit, especially for shopping or on rainy days. 

Unfortunately it  gave me such a sore back, I could only use it for maximum of about half an hour at a time. This could be because I already have lower back problems, but I felt that her weight wasn't very well distributed.

Once bub was about 5 months she was way too big for it and we had to sadly retire it. I really thought we'd get more wear out of it than that. 

Machine washable, light and easy to put together, which is a plus.

Will probably go with one of the other soft carriers next baby.

I bought one of these before my first daughter was born and used it twice - not comfortable at all.

I ended up giving it away and felt bad about it until the guy who took it told me that it was just for a prop for a fancy dress costume and he was only going to be carrying a teddy bear in it

I bought a Bjorn for cheap off ebay when my son was 4 weeks old. It was super comfy and convienent for him to sleep in for about a week. Then it got massively heavy on my shoulders (he was 7kgs at this point). After reading reviews and articles about it being bad for bub's spine I sold it. If you are going to spend top dollar for a carrier, do your research and try differen't brands out.

I got given the Baby Bjorn as a gift when my daughter my born and although I liked how easy it was to use and the fact you could face bubs in or out I found if I used it any longer than 15 mins at a time it would hurt my back and shoulders. Bubs felt really heavy in it, even as a newborn. I could only use it for 8 weeks until my daughter was too big and heavy and dreaded using it.

For the price these sell for, I found it really dissapointing that I could only get 8 weeks use out of it. I sold it and put the money towards an Ergo carrier that I now use for my son, he is almost 10kgs at 6 months old and he still feels as light as the day he was born when I put him into it!

I loved this carrier, is great for my curious boy who prefers to look around and can face him towards me when he needs a sleep!

Has been an absolute live saver with public transport!

I bought this carrier with my first and used it with my second child as well. Its still in perfect condition so it is durable. its quick and easy to put on but baby always felt awkward and uncomfortable in it and not very secure. The cotton is a beautiful quality and washes well, it keeps its colour very well.

My biggest issue is that i cannot wear it for a long time as all the pressure is placed on the shoulders, making baby feel very heavy. I have tried other carriers and the Baby Bjorn was the most painful to wear.

My second time around with a baby, I purchased a new original baby bjorn carrier. Compared to my previous one, it was a lot more comfortable for me and did not cut into my shoulders.

However, I found that it actually annoyed my bub's reflux, he was not comfortable and was slumped over in it, he would often get upset after short periods. So it was not so great for him.

Settles my bub straight away!

I have read reviews of people having trouble putting baby in it, but when i used it myself and followed the instructions on how to load baby in, it was soo easy!

You aren't trying to put bub into the carrier, rather you are attaching the carrier around bub as you hold them against ur chest. Really easy to do!

I found this product very comfy and have been able to use it for a good 3hours plus shopping (leaves the pram free as a good shopping trolley :D

I think it might get a lil too warm if it was worn outside during a hot day, but bub seems to like the warmth and the snugness anyway.

Defintely recommend this product!
