My daughter is 6 weeks old and about 8 lbs now. I've used my bjorn a few times now and LOVE IT. She loves it. I can go shopping and she sleeps the whole time. I like that I don't have to worry about a stroller or having to put her carseat on a shopping cart to go grocery shopping. The carrier is well made and secure. At first I worried that she'd fall out or a strap would snap or something. After using it a few times, I grew more secure with it. Now, I never leave the house without it. I can probably carry her for an hour before my back starts to ache. If you're going on long walks or hikes, this isn't the best carrier. But for simple grocery shopping, or short uses, it's perfect. My baby likes being in there. She's secure, close to me, and warm. – SR - 03/09/2012
Other manufacturers tried unsuccessfully to imitate or even "improve" this product. The simplest and best baby carrier on the market! You adjust it in the begining and putting it on or taking it off only entails 2 or 4 steps thereafter, all from the front, without any adjustments! – C. Austin - 02/19/2012
This was requested on a baby registry for a shower I was attending. From a gifting perspective this item arrived quickly and arrived in a very small box. I removed the item to see that it was in good condition and was very impressed with the design. This item allows you to carry your child in the most natural position possible while being extremely lightweight so that it does not bulk when carrying your child. – Lingy - 02/17/2012
My little one is quite hot-natured and sweats easily, AND I live in Texas! This product worked quite well, compared to other products. I could keep him close (which he liked) without worrying about him sweating to death, because the fabric is quite breathable. It's easy to wash, holds up well, and after 8 months of routine use, it still looks great. – Kerri T. - 01/28/2012
My infant has severe reflux so putting her in the bjorn after meals to keep her propped up not only helps her but she really loves the view. I use this when I take her to the grocery store too. Thank you! – Krissy - 01/22/2012
I started with a Baby Bjorn Original that I got from a friend. The Synergy is so much better. The lumbar support alone makes this worth buying over the Original. I've carried my baby around for hours (he usually just falls asleep) without any back pain at all! Plus the mesh is much lighter weight and more breathable, keeps both of us a lot more comfortable. Highly recommend this! – Rod F. - 11/06/2011
It's the best purchase that we have made for our baby and for us. Now our hands are free to do other things at home, like cleaning, laundry and to go out for shopping. This BabyBjorn is extremly cormfortable. – Jon - 10/29/2011
This is the best baby product we own. The mesh makes it breathable without chilling baby. We had the original baby carrier 6 years ago for our older daughter and while we loved it at the time it was not as good as this one. Our backs would tire more quickly with the original bjorn. Highly recommended. – Teresa - 09/20/2011
A baby carrier is an essential item to have and this one is terrific! It's worth it to spend the extra money and get this model with the back support. I could carry my son for hours and it never hurt. Also, this model fits both me and my husband; I'm 5'6" and he's 6'3". The straps on this one are long enough for both of us but the ones on the regular baby bjorn are NOT; I called the company and they confirmed this. You'd have to buy separate straps to fit a taller person. My son loves being carried in the baby bjorn (he's 1 now) and when he was an infant it was the only thing that would get him to sleep sometimes! I definitely recommend this product! – E.

This is my absolute favorite item I bought for my new baby. I would recommend it to all new parents. No exceptions . . . . My baby is now 10 months old and we have used the carrier probably over a hundred times. My husband and I have taken it everywhere from trips round the local grocery store through to 10 mile hikes in Yosemite. A baby carrier is by far the most convenient way to hold your baby, as it enables you to continue your daily activities while your baby is happy riding along with you. The baby is happy and so are you. I use my carrier on many occasions where some parents would probably use a stroller instead, the reason being that my son prefers to be carried around at 'adult' height and see everything that is going on than be stuck in a stroller down below. Given that even with a carrier a baby is quite heavy I recommend the Active version for the additional back support it provides over the Standard version. My only complaint about the Baby Bjorn, (which is not enough to drop my rating from five stars) is that it can be a bit tricky to adjust the straps until you get the hang of them and how to put the carrier on. My final piece of advice is to check that your baby is not getting over-heated in the carrier. If in doubt err on the side of removing clothing layers from the child before you put them in the carrier as they receive a lot of your own body heat while they are in the it. Also I have found that if your baby falls asleep while you are carrying them it helps to turn them to face you so that they are resting on your chest. Otherwise they tend to flop forwards. I hope you buy get as much use and enjoyment from this product as my family has. – EM - 07/27/2011
I bought the original version of the baby bjorn - and had terrible back pain, even for walks around the house. I was nervous spending the extra money for a second one - but went on the advice of a friend who was using the active carrier to take her baby on long walks, without back pain. I am glad I took her advice. The support straps make all the difference. You have to keep it tight around you to get the benefit of the support, but if you tug them tight each time you put it back on - it really takes the pressure off. I walked three miles yesterday and my baby is 16 pounds - and I felt no pain when I got home. It was worth the money - even the second time around. – Ariella V. - 02/24/2011
