 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

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.
 Great carrier November 8, 2008
The baby bjorn carrier is pretty comfortable to carry your baby around in. It's nice that it's adjustable for the parent and baby. I get a bit sore after an hour lugging my daughter in, but how could you not be sore or tired for lugging a baby??? Babies aren't exactly light!
 Good for short trips, but ERGO much better October 29, 2008

I(mom) own the ERGO and the Baby Bjorn Active and a sling, and have used a Snugli. The ERGO is by far the best baby carrier out there. All of the others hurt my shoulders/neck after 15-30 minutes. The ERGO is comfortable, and distributes most of the weight to my hips/legs. I've been on many hikes (20+) with Kai(baby) in the ERGO, the longest being 7 miles (almost 4 hours), with no problems. Our first hike was when he was 3 weeks, and we are still hiking with the ERGO at 7 months. He loves it, and falls asleep in it every time we go hiking. The only problem is that you can't have the baby face out. For the first 3 months, that didn't matter- Kai was perfectly happy to face me and snuggle in- I used the head cover for shade and he slept happily... At 4 months, he wanted to see what was going on, but he couldn't hold up his head well enough to sit in the ERGO 'backpack' fashion, so I bought the Baby Bjorn Active. Kai liked it, Lars(dad) liked it, I tolerated it for up to 45 minutes, but just couldn't bear any hike longer than that. Also, Kai's legs hang down in front so that they hit your legs when you walk uphill- irritating to Lars. Kai also can't really sleep in the Baby Bjorn. (I'm sure he would have when he was little and facing inward, but with him facing outward, there isn't a comfortable sleep position for his head.) We use the Baby Bjorn for short trips, like in stores and around the house, and its great for that, but we started using the ERGO as a backpack for long hikes again when Kai turned 6 months. He loves looking around, and when he falls asleep, I just put the head cover on to help hold his head next to me. I haven't figured out how to get him in the ERGO backpack fashion by myself yet, so I have to get help for that.
Also noteworthy: the Baby Bjorn has absolutely NO storage- not even a little zipper pocket. The ERGO has enough room for 3 diapers, a small pack of wipes, an extra bib and onesie, my car keys, cell phone and small snack. This makes a big difference for hiking- all I have to carry in my hands is my water bottle(s), and I use a carabiner to clip the bottle to the waistbelt so I am hands-free.
We recently bought a Sherpani Rumba and Kai and Lars love that, too. It's a bit heavy for me, but I'm getting used to it. It gives Kai wonderful views, a comfortable seat, and provides LOADS of storage.
Great wonderful baby carrier!! October 13, 2008
C. Salter (Maryland)
This baby carrier is wonderful. We have used it almost daily with our now 9 month old. We used the original bjorn for our first baby and loved it. We got this one for our second baby. This one is just as good, with nice improvements. The ability to detach the carrier so you can lay down a sleeping infant is really handy. The back support is also nice. I tried other baby carriers and ended up returning them because they just weren't as easy to use and baby would always get frustrated. Others also also didn't seem to be as secure or weren't as comfortable to wear. The bjorn is a little pricey, but for the use you get out of it think it is well worth the cost.
