Having spent nearly the last five decades innovating ideas for infants and toddlers, BabyBjörn is consistently tweaking their products to meet parents' high standards of quality, functionality, and safety. So it's no surprise that this BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Active is the leader of the 'packs. Parents who swear by the original, hands-free BabyBjörn carrier may be skeptical when hearing this style is even better, but it's true.  | | Padded, contoured shoulder straps and lumbar adjustment make this carrier comfortable for the wearer. | Developed with on-the-go parents in mind, Baby Carrier Active offers increased back support by way of a sliding lumbar adjustment that conforms to your torso. (You should ensure that you have the carrier adjusted correctly each time you put it on, as baby's size changes and other users may have moved settings.) This extra support relieves stress on shoulders and back—which is helpful when you've underestimated the strain of carrying a 26-, 15-, or even 8-pound baby. This Carrier Active also features fully adjustable shoulder straps that can accommodate taller and/or bigger parents. The wide, cushioned, contoured straps help to evenly distribute baby's weight.  | | When infants face outward, the built-in head support for newborns folds down in front. | A size adjustment buckle allows BabyBjörn's carrier to grow with baby—from as early as 8 pounds and at least 21 inches (about one week old) to a maximum weight of 26 pounds. Newborns first face inward using the padded, adjustable head support to keep them stable, while older babies face outward with the head support folded down in front of them. The unique design lets mom breastfeed baby discreetly, plus the front piece can be easily removed so as not to wake a sound sleeping baby when taking off the carrier. The material is a breathable, machine-washable cotton/polyester blend that keeps everyone cool and comfortable. Another great quality to the BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Active is the straightforward assembly and color-coded latches. These features make it easy for one person to manage baby and carrier when necessary.

Comfortable Carrying
Sturdy enough to support heavier children for long periods of time, the BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Active helps protect both you and your child. The carrier's innovative design allows you to keep active without worrying about strain on your back, neck and shoulders. Wide, padded and contoured shoulder straps evenly distribute baby's weight, while the sliding adjustable lumbar pad conforms to your torso and offers support for long term comfort. Additionally, should you need to make adjustments for more or less support, you can easily do so in most cases from the front, an option that's particularly convenient if you're traveling without another adult. Flexible Design That Grows With Your Child
The BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Active also provides uncompromising support for your little one's back and head, making sure his or her legs and arms are always in a physiologically correct position. Newborns and very young babies stay close to your heart and face in for warmth and soothing comfort. Soft padding also keeps their head and neck stable, even if your walks take you on uneven terrain or you pick up your speed. As your child grows, this carrier gives you the option of folding down the neck-rest so your child can face forward and look around. He or she will love being able to explore the world while still remaining close to mom or dad. In addition, the size adjustment buckle makes sure baby remains protected throughout his or her development. Helps Facilitate Feeding and Nap Times
The BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Active's unique design is both straightforward and helpful during napping and feeding times. First, thanks to the color-coded latches, it assembles in minutes. Secondly, when your child faces you, you can easily and discretely breastfeed him without first removing him from the carrier. Finally, the front piece removes quickly so you won't have to worry about waking a sleeping baby when you're taking off the carrier. Easy-Care, Eco-Friendly Construction
Made to last and stand up to the normal wear and tear caused by outdoor excursions, the BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Active is made of easy-care cotton and polyester for breathability and cool comfort. To clean the carrier, simply machine wash it separately in warm water with a gentle, bleach-free detergent, and hang to dry. You'll also appreciate that this convenient and helpful carrier is approved in accordance with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1, eco-certification, so you can trust it's safe for baby.

 Definitely not for me December 29, 2008
Sopranna (Illinois)
This is the ONLY item I actually bought when I was pregnant, as opposed to receiving it as a gift. I thought it was a must-have, and the best of the best, so I spent $119 on it. It was ok while my baby was just weeks old, but once he was 10 and 12 pounds, I couldn't walk more than a couple blocks without very bad lower back pain. I'm average weight and height, but this carrier was very painful.
My husband wears it occasionally because the baby can face forward, which the baby loves, but I don't wear it any more. I bought another model that places more weight on your hips.

 BabyBjorn Active Carrier November 24, 2008
M. Norton
This carrier is really nice. My son prefers to be held upright rather than in a lying down position so it certainly is convenient for me. I like the convenience it provides.
Much better carriers out there November 20, 2008
New Mom in the City (New York)
Baby Bjorn was the pioneer for baby carriers 10 years ago but since then there has been an explosion in the market - slings, front carriers, pouches, etc. The BEST, in my honest opinion, is the Ergo. The baby sits with correct posture (The Bjorn is not so great for the baby's spine) and the parent is not in pain! I can walk for hours with my 20 lb baby in the Ergo -- not so in the Bjorn.
A must have! November 15, 2008
anjil88 (Wisconsin)
The "active" version with ,lumbar support is definately superior to the other Bjorns. I use this for hours at a time for everything from housework to shopping to walks and my daugher loves it. It is well constructed and made with durable and heavey duty fabric. It also washes easily (but fades a bit). I am petite and it provides good supprort (she is now 18 lbs). We also have the black and white Bjorn without the lumbar support and my upper back and shoulders tire much faster. The only thing that is bad about this product is the price - buy this online or at a second hand store if possible (they are usually more than half the retail price and never too worn out since they are so durable). This is a must have for newborns and infants.
