BABYBJORN Baby Carrier Original - Black, Cotton

I LOVE this carrier. I bought FOUR different carriers before we settled on this one. It is by far the quickest, easiest one. PLUS, it's the only one my baby girl liked & could tolerate being in. (she was 5/6 weeks when I tried them all out, she's 7 weeks now & still loving it!)All the carriers I bought were...1. Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier Original - Mesh (that's this one)2. MiaMilly HIPSTER Plus Organic Carrier with Infant Insert (didn't return - saving for when she's older, returned the infant insert tho)3. Baby K’tan ORIGINAL Cotton Wrap style Baby Carrier (it's like a wrap, but easier - returned)4. Infantino Flip 4-in-1 Convertible Carrier (returned)Here's what I thought of them all.1. Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier Original - Mesh (that's this one)This is THIS carrier that this review is on. I LOVE THIS CARRIER!!!- The snaps are SO easy to get on & off, & I don't worry about snapping her fingers in them. Plus I can easily fasten all the snaps with one hand. I don't need any help or assistance from anyone to get her in or out of this.- It's SUPER EASY to get on & off.- If my babe falls asleep in it, there is a way you can completely unhook the portion that supports your baby, from the straps on your back, so you can get them to a crib without waking them. It supports my baby perfectly, & is the only one that she will allow me to put her in.- It's mesh so it's super breathable & we don't get super hot & sweaty being so close to one another.- It scrunches up real small & I can easily toss it into my diaper bag- Even when she's crying, I can put her in there & just start walking, & she calms down.- She LOVES that she can look out & around. My baby is now 7 weeks, & is still getting the strength up in her neck muscles, so you can pull the straps on the carrier around the baby's head to keep it closer to your chest & support their head more. Then you can loosen those straps as the baby gets older.- Plus when she gets older, she can face out.- I can use this with her for up to a year of age. There is a way to adjust the height of the carrier. Meaning when they're super young like mine is, I can have it so her body is higher on me when I wear it. As she grows, & can adjust it.- It's real easy to adjust the tightness of the back straps2. MiaMilly HIPSTER Plus Organic Carrier with Infant InsertReally like this carrier. We're keeping it for when our babe is older. We did send the Infant Insert back...- The insert just didn't feel very secure to me, & the whole thing was just a lot to do when you have a little one.- You have to put them in the insert first, then put the whole thing with them in it, into the carrier. Not something I could easily get my babe into by myself while say, at the airport.- It's all bulky, so it's not something I can just shove in the diaper bag.- We love the carrier for when our babe gets bigger.- It's something my husband said he would wear (he won't wear any of the others) & it's just an overall awesome carrier.3. Baby K’tan ORIGINAL Cotton Wrap style Baby Carrier (it's like a wrap, but easier)This one I wanted to much to love. A couple of Mom friends of mine have it & love it. I got her in it once, but the second time I put her in it she just wouldn't have it.- Might just be a thing with my baby - I don't think she liked having her head covered & tucked in there, so wraps might not be our thing.- The wrap itself is pretty easy to get on as far as wraps are concerned.- Folds up pretty compact.- Has it's own carrying bag.4. Infantino Flip 4-in-1 Convertible CarrierI honestly didn't even try to put her in this. It was just not what we wanted.. & the buckles are very hard to do & loud when they clip closed. We pretty much took it out of the box, tried it on us, then put it back in the box.

Makes a great gift for those expecting!!!

I have purchased the Babybjorn Baby Carrier Active, Babybjorn Baby Carrier Air- Grey/White, Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel Lining, Moby Wrap, Infantino Union Ergonomic Carrier, and Infantino Sync Comfort Wrap Carrier Black/Red. I have had my baby in them since she was born and she is now 11 months old. Here is my favorite to least favorite:Babybjorn Baby Carrier Air- Grey/White: This is THE BEST carrier for newborns!! It is so soft, bendable (not stiff), breathable, and comfortable. I highly recommend this one for newborns. However, my baby girl is now 11 months old (17 lbs) and it starts to hurt your back after an hour or so. You can have the newborn face forward and towards your chest. The position facing forward at 11 months looks comfortable for the baby. Since it is mesh, the crouch part is soft and doesn't spread open her legs too far (unlike the other Babybjorn ones). BABYBJORN Baby Carrier Air - Gray/White, MeshErgo Baby Carrier: This is great for the back position! She is comfortable in the front but she always thinks its a challenge to try to get out. Unlike the Infantino Sync Comfort Wrap- where she will fall asleep and cuddle up with me. It is also harder to put on compared to the Babybjorn Carrier Air. I didn't get to try this one when she was younger. There is a big space for the baby and I bet if you wrap them up in blankets it could work. I have tried to breastfeed in this one. My breasts are not saggy so it is hard to adjust the breast for the baby to get. I will try loosening the straps different ways to see if I can be more effective in this one. I love the idea that I can breastfeed in a carrier. Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel LiningInfantino Sync Comfort Wrap- My favorite from birth to 10 months old. I love the buckle around the waist and all the comfort. It barely feels like you have something one. My little girl will fall asleep or just cuddle in this one. It never, ever hurts my back. The only thing that bothered me was the wrap is very long and taking it off in parking lots- it would always drag on the ground. But I would just throw it in the washer and never had a problem with shrinkage or anything. Infantino Sync Comfort Wrap Carrier Black/RedMoby Wrap- This one takes alot of time and effort to put on. Plus it lays on the cement or ground while you loop it all around you. The Infantino Sync Comfort wrap is same theory but way better. I bought this one because of the name and advertisement.Infantino Union Ergonomic Carrier- This carrier works...its okay. The front position totally covers the infants head (lets almost no light in). Very private- She did fall asleep in this one. The biggest downfall is the top of the carrier would leave a mark- too constricting on the baby's head. I tried numerous times to put her in the back position and it would just leave a mark. She would never cry but I thought maybe when she was bigger I could try again. In the back position- the baby CAN NOT see. It has great support- doesnt hurt my back but too many negatives. IInfantino Union Ergonomic Carrier, Gray
