I have researched baby carriers and did not purchase this carrier originally.Here are the carriers I have had personal experience with:Baby Bjorn Original: A good carrier, easy to use, but wear it for any length of time with all but the lightest babies and I would get should pain. The pain was not bad at first, but it would build. The pain became enough for me to stop using the carrier which was a disappointment. As this was discovered during use with my son, our first child. I decided I would look for an improved carrier when we were pregnant with my daughter, our second child.Becco Baby Gemini: I purchased the Gemini after much review and reading online. It seemed great, looked great, and had many wonderful reviews. In reality it was not the carrier it was described to be, and was not for our family. While it was made of quality materials and comes in many wonderful fabrics, it is not a carrier a single person can put on easily, and it did not feel comfortable nor safe when used with a newborn. Our newborn was within the weight requirements and we had watched the videos demoing how to use it properly, and we read the directions that were provided. But at the end of it all it was not feeling right. Another thing is the Becco was very difficult to put on, and impossible to do so by yourself. The carrier required too much attention to be given to pressing the security latches with two hands and not allowing you to give enough attention to your infant when putting the carrier on or taking it off. I noted afterward that their video demos were done with dolls, and not real live moving, squirming badges :-) This makes a difference! After several attempts I could not put the carrier on by myself and felt I was risking the dropping of my baby while doing so. Because of these reasons I felt the product was not delivered as described in the literature and returned it to amazon. I still like the look of it, and the ability to carry your baby in so many different ways, but the infant carrier ability is just not there for me. Also, not ok because it was not easy to put on by yourself!Baby Bjorn Miracle Carrier: After returning the Becco Baby I purchased the baby Bjorn Miracle carrier. My initial impressions of this carrier are much better than that of the Becco baby. It holds my infant securely and is easy to put on by myself. I have only used it with my infant, but the back support on it seems much improved over the original baby Bjorn, no shoulder pain yet. I will try and update my review as our little girl gets bigger. What I really like about this carrier is how easy it is to put my infant into it without any outside assistance. I simply put on the shoulders straps much like you would put on a jacket, clip one side, slide my infant in and click the strap to hold here in. The head support straps are easy to click in at this point. My little girl is happy in this carrier, I can see her easily and she seems to have good airflow on both sides depending on which way she leans her head. Time will tell how this new model does on back/shoulder support but I have high hopes that my initial impression will hold true.One other thing: Forward carry capable.Many carriers do not allow you to hold you baby facing out. They state that infants are over stimulated, it hurts their crotch, etc. Speaking from the personal experiences of my son, his two males cousins, one female cousin, and two young friends, forward carry is the way to go once they support their neck/head. None of these children have ever suffered over stimulation, at least that was noted. What all of us have agreed on is that at some point facing inward becomes undesirable for our children and they truly want to face out. This makes products like the Ergo Baby and the like unsuitable because baby cannot look out.My vote goes to the Bjorn Miracle Baby Carrier. I would recommend it to friends, especially those wanting to use it with infants.Update 8/27/2012Used the Baby Bjorn Miracle Carrier at Disneyland a few days ago and things went great. My daughter was comfortable for several hours. We even went on pirates of the Caribbean with her in the carrier! It was comfortable for me to carry, my back never grew tired! I love this carrier!
95 of 105 people found the following review helpful.My daughter is currently 11 months old and weighs a little under 22 pounds, so she is inching toward the weight limit for this carrier. However, I chose this product through Vine because my daughter loves to be carried and many of my friends have raved about their BabyBjorns. Since my daughter was born, we have been using the Moby Wrap and an Ergo Baby Performance Carrier. Here is my comparison of these three options:1) BabyBjorn Miracle Baby CarrierThis carrier is lightweight and doesn't feel stuffy or heavy while wearing it. It is also designed well. It has far better back support than the older BabyBjorn models. It also has an advantage over the Ergo Carrier in that you can carry your baby facing outward. However, it is the most expensive of the three by far, and it can only be used up to 27 pounds. The comfort and material are also no better than the Ergo, in my opinion.2) Moby WrapThe Moby Wrap has fantastic back support because the material covers your whole back, and it is also rated to hold babies up to 35 pounds. It is also versatile, with options to carry your baby in a number of different positions facing both into you and outward. The Moby Wrap is also the cheapest of these three (although arguably still overpriced given that it is mostly a long strip of fabric). The problems with the Moby Wrap are that it is very warm for both adult and baby, so it doesn't work very well in hot weather, and it really needs to be put on at home unless you're comfortable with the fabric dragging on the ground outside - which can be inconvenient if you don't want to wear the fabric in the car, etc.3) Ergo Baby Performance Carrier (the best choice, in my opinion)The Ergo carrier is not cheap, but it is lightweight and can be used for front, back, or side carry (facing inward only). It is significantly less expensive than the BabyBjorn but it carries up to 40 pounds (and has even been tested with much higher weights), so even large toddlers can be carried in it. It takes a little bit of time to figure out the best configuration for you of strap lengths, but once established is pretty easy and fast to put on and take off. When our daughter was smaller, we used the newborn insert but did find that it was more challenging still to get her into a comfortable position until she got bigger. Overall, this is a carrier that I expect to continue to use for some time with our daughter and I still believe it is one of the best out there.
30 of 34 people found the following review helpful.I love carrying my baby. I have all different kinds of carriers--a Lovey Dud (moby-like wrap), a Maya Wrap (d-ring sling), an ErgoBaby Sport, and a Chic Papoose (pocket sling). I like them all, but had always heard good things about the BABYBJÖRN and wanted to try one to see if it was worth the hype. In my opinion, it is totally worth it. I am very happy with this carrier. My baby is comfortable and happy in it and it doesn't hurt my back or shoulders.Pros:* Easy to get baby in/out* weight is well balanced* lightweight and not a lot of added heat (baby is hot, so having him close is going to be hot no matter what)* simple to adjustCon:* doesn't fold up easy--seems trivial, but it is difficult to fit into a diaper bag and carry with me* can't take baby out easily without waking (Maya Wrap is awesome and my baby sleeps right through being put down after falling asleep)* doesn't convert to carry on your back (the ErgoBaby does and will last you longer with your child)* when putting on, I get my arms caught up in the different straps--another little nit, but it isn't a quick on sometimes when I need it to beMy son is 3-months-old and fits in it easily. He was 8 lbs, 4 oz and 21 in at birth, which are the exact requirements for this, so he could have been in it from birth. I'm not sure how comfortable he would have been as a newborn, though. I do really like the ErgoBaby because baby can be bundled up inside it without his legs sticking out which is how newborns usually prefer to be. The slings are also great for a newborn.Overall, I am very happy with the BABYBJÖRN. It is my go-to carrier right now. I use it to carry my son around the house when doing chores or to go to the store. I also used it recently when we went to a college football game. It was hot and uncomfortable that day, but when baby was in the carrier he was happy (very unhappy and hot, so he didn't last long at the game).The price is a little steep for a carrier, but most are expensive. If I had to chose to only have this one or the ErgoBaby, I would probably choose the ErgoBaby because it will last until the child is bigger and is more versatile (carried on your front or back)--with the added cost of the newborn insert, it is comparable in cost to this one (we never used the newborn insert as my son was 13 lbs with good head control at 7 weeks when we really started using it). If you only plan to carry on the front, then I would go with this one. It is completely worth it.
