BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Mini, Cotton, Black

I didn't know anything about baby carriers before I had my daughter, but quickly learned that they are not all equal. I received other, more expensive, wraps and packs at my baby shower but none worked nearly as well for me as this one. I personally HATED all wraps and slings because I felt they were not secure. That's user error, I'm sure. But being a new mom I didn't have the time or patience to figure them out, and it gave me anxiety to have my baby in them. My husband really liked the ErgoBaby Omni 360, but being 5'2" I found it didn't fit well on my frame.This carrier was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad I bought it. It's such a good value for the price, and I have loved using it with my daughter. It fit my smaller frame really well, and I found it to be very easy to get her in and out of it. It felt much more stable and secure to me than wraps or slings. For a good 2-3 months, she only wanted to be held and this helped a ton. I wore her at countless family gatherings, grocery store trips, and walks around the neighborhood. She took many naps in this pack, too. She is almost too big for it now but I got so much use out of this thing that I think it should be at the top of any mom's registry (it goes up to 25 pounds).

This carrier is very easy to use: you only need to adjust it one time to fit you and the next time it’s already set for you - you just need to put it on (takes like 30 sec). My baby doesn’t mind being in it. All other carriers required more work (crossing straps behind your body while holding a baby at the same time is not easy and requires some skills; you also had to adjust them every time) and my baby didn’t like being in them. So I would put it on only to take it off a few minutes later. Also, I like Baby Bjorn much more because the side straps go under the baby and if you make them tighter- they only tighten around your body, not the baby. With other carriers side straps connect to the front pouch and if you want to tighten them, they tighten around baby’s back and that’s why I believe my child was always crying in them. I definitely recommend Baby Bjorn for newborns! I went from rarely using carriers to using them all the time (home and outdoors).

I’ve tried several carriers so far including Tula (too big for my newborn), K-tan (baby hates the process of putting her in) and a Boba wrap (baby loves it, but it’s not the most convenient to carry around because it’s bulky) but Baby Bjorn has proven to be the most convenient and comfortable out of all of them. I also suspect this carrier is magical, because my baby falls asleep within 5 minutes of being strapped in - without fail. I love it!

This is the most amazing carrier for a newborn, I also have the black one, I like it but the material of this beige one is just perfect, the fit, everything is just perfect! Also the color is so aesthetic I’m just in love with this, some carriers are too wide for my baby’s legs but this one is adjustable so that’s also a plus

I’ve tried a few other carriers but just wasn’t super comfortable with them and they had a lot more straps to adjust. This one feels just right for me. It sits comfortably on me, the shoulders don’t dig into me, the way the carrier is designed means straps don’t get wrapped up either.The entire carrier can come apart easily for cleaning and everything that you need for making adjustments is within hands reach (other than the middle back piece, which stays in place after that first fix unless you have multiple people using). My husband and I can both wear this, I’m average height and quite thin while my husband is a bit taller and husky and both of us can wear it with ease.Our baby is currently 6 weeks old, 11.5 lbs, and he fits snug. The material is breathable, I’ve not noticed any overheating yet but summer is still on the way.

great price for a cool mesh summer carrier top brand. newborn ready too

The carrier is great overall. I do feel that the flap on top can get in the way of baby's mouth, but this can be avoided for the most part with some manipilation.

It looks super cute, feels like a hug, and the mesh fabric is nice and breathable.
