I am a huge babywearing advocate and have tried several different carriers and wraps. With so many options available it can be hard to find "the one". Some carriers require the addition of a newborn insert, others don't allow for front carries, and each parent or caregiver may want something a bit different. BABYBJÖRN, an innovator in baby products since 1961, has just released a brand new carrier that's designed to be the only carrier you'll ever need. Allow me to introduce you to the Baby Bjorn Carrier One.
photos adapted from BABYBJORN
BABYBJÖRN just released the Baby Carrier One on October 1st, but I had the opportunity to test this product (at no cost in order to facilitate this review) before the official release date. I own several soft structured carriers that are ergonomically designed for both caregiver and baby, so I was interested to see how the Baby Carrier One would compare. I've done a lot of research about babywearing and hip dysplasia so I was thrilled to hear that the Baby Carrier One was developed reflecting the advice of the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.
Baby Bjorn Carrier One
Baby Carrier One is BABYBJÖRN's first carrier that will allow you to carry your child on both your front and your back. Prior to this, their carriers limited you to front carrying your child, either inward facing or outward facing. The Baby Carrier One allows for four different positions so you and your child can decide what works best for you.
The Baby Carrier One is designed for newborns to children up to 3 years (8-33 pounds and 21-39 inches). You will start off with the optimal newborn position for babies 0-4 months, wearing your baby higher up on your chest, closest to your heart for maximum bonding. No infant insert is required so no additional cost or pieces to deal with. Once your baby is a bit older, you can continue wearing them inward facing in an optimal ergonomic position for both baby and caregiver, or you can wear them outward facing once they reach 5 months old. I know there is a lot of discussion about hip dysplasia and outward facing carriers, but according to the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, "The risk of hip dysplasia or dislocation is greatest in the first few months of life. By six months of age, most babies have nearly doubled in size, the hips are more developed and the ligaments are stronger, so are less susceptible to developing hip dysplasia." Of course, you'll want to discuss this with your primary care provider if you have concerns. New to the BABYBJÖRN range of carriers is the back carry that you'll be able to accomplish with the Baby Carrier One. In one simple motion, you'll be able to place your toddler on your back unassisted (more on this later).
How to use your Baby Carrier One:
Assuming you're purchasing this carrier for use from day one, you'll start off using it in the optimal newborn position. The Baby Carrier One features an adjustable height that's adjusted via a zipper on the interior portion of the carrier. The photo below shows the carrier laid out with the main portion of the seat unhooked and hanging downwards.
You can see that there is a mesh flap with a label that reads "Newborn Position" If using the carrier with your newborn (minimum 8 pounds and 21 inches) you'll make sure the height is set here so you can carry your little one higher up on your chest. If using with an older infant (ages 4 months and up), you'll adjust the carrier's height to the Baby Position. To do this, you'll just unzip the carrier seat and move it down to the Baby Height label and zip it in place. That's it - your carrier has gone from newborn to baby height. You can now bring the front portion (seat) of the carrier up and hook it into place to start babywearing.
The Baby Carrier One has 4 unique buckles: 2 head support buckles and 2 safety buckles. The buckles can be a bit tricky to get used to at first, but once you get the feel of it, they are really easy to use. You'll know they're secure when you hear an audible click. There is a release button to unlock the buckle, designed so your baby can't undo it accidentally.
Unlike other carriers I've used, the Baby Carrier One doesn't have a chest clip that you unbuckle for taking your carrier on and off. The yoke stays in place, although it is adjustable, and you just slip your baby carrier on as if you're pulling on a sweater.
The waist belt is adjustable up to 62 inches. In the photo above, I wanted to show the carrier in place but completely unbuckled. The main portion of the carrier is hanging downwards in front of my legs. You can see the height adjustment system and fabric that your baby will be resting against inside the carrier. This is a little different than some soft structured carriers where your baby is right up against you when you're wearing them. As I said before, there is no chest clip and the yoke does not come undone. You simply adjust it by sliding it up or down along the cording and width wise by pulling or releasing the fabric tab.
Once you have the carrier in place and the yoke positioned properly, you can grab your little one and get ready to start babywearing! Depending on which position you're going to use is going to determine the best way for you to insert your child in the carrier. There is a great video below from BABYBJÖRN that shows you the best way to load your child into the Baby Carrier One.
Let's talk about the features of this carrier that have been designed with you and baby in mind:
The Baby Carrier One was designed to be an ergonomic carrier with maximum comfort. As a caregiver, you will enjoy the shaped, padded adjustable shoulder straps and padded waist belt. These are truly the workhorses of the carrier and when used properly they will distribute your child's weight evenly to prevent fatigue, even during prolonged periods of use.
Your child will enjoy the soft, safe fabric of the Baby Carrier One. The main body of the carrier is 60% cotton, 40% polyester, the lining is 100% cotton, and the waist belt lining is 100% polyester). All of the fabrics are gentle and safe for baby, guaranteed to be free from hazardous substances and approved according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1 for baby products. The main section of the carrier features a sturdy, adjustable head support that can folded down for ourward facing mode.
The Baby Carrier One has been developed with the help of pediatricians to ensure proper support for your growing child's head, spine, and hips. The seat of this carrier is padded for baby's comfort and the height is adjustable so the carrier will grow with your child. Even the head support is adjustable and can be folded down as needed. There is also a fantastic feature on the Baby Carrier One that allows for forward facing carrying - adjustable width for leg positions. As you can see in the photo above, there are leg position zippers under the seat of the carrier. Just unzip them to allow for your baby's legs to hang in the "normal" leg position. This position can be used for babies 5-15 months (in the photos above my little guy is 15 months and 26 pounds). Just fold down the adjustable head support and your baby will have an unobstructed view of their surroundings. Or, you can choose to carry your little one inward facing in a wide leg or "frog-like" position (pictured left above).
Once your child is 12 months or older, you can back carry using the Baby Carrier One. Without the ability to unbuckle the chest clip, getting your child onto your back can seem a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, BABYBJÖRN has put together this awesome instructional video that shows how to get your child onto your back completely unassisted.
Here are a few photos of me demonstrating a back carry. You can see my little guy is in a wide leg position and very cozy. The yoke is a little higher up but that's where it felt most comfortable for me.
I did forget to flip up the head support for these photos, but normally you'd have the head support fully up for your little one's comfort.
The Baby Carrier One comes with a complete instruction manual that is super detailed and easy to understand. However, if you're out and about and need a quick refresher, the Baby Carrier One has a hidden pocket with fold out instructions! I love, love, love this feature!
Overall, I think the Baby Bjorn Carrier One is a great carrier! I love the ergonomic design and it's very comfortable to wear, even for prolonged ventures. The fact that it's designed to be the only carrier you'll ever need and you don't need any additional infant inserts is a major plus in my book. The versatility is absolutely wonderful, especially if you have a baby that really prefers facing outward. The adjustable leg openings are really innovative and I love that this carrier was created with the help of pediatricians and the with the recommendations of the International Hip Dysplasia Institute in mind.
The only thing that would make the Baby Carrier One even better would be the addition of a few storage pockets. It would be nice to have a place to store your car keys, ID, credit card, and cash for when you truly want to be hands-free with baby in tow. Otherwise, I think this carrier is fantastic!
What do you think of the Baby Carrier One?

Puddles and Poop says
I have tried many wraps and carriers and I think I prefer a carrier to a wrap. We had an Eddie Bauer carrier for my first and it never seemed snug enough. We tried multiple wraps with my second, and again, it never seemed secure enough. However, this carrier seems like it would have enough support to where I would feel comfortable with the baby in it for longer periods of time. Great review!
Erin K.
Christine says
Love the review, and it looks like they made it so the child sits better... but I still can't say I like outward facing.... and your LO doesn't look like they enjoyed outward facing much, either
Katie Kooy says
Great review! Glad they got the wide leg position on their product. In the video I am a little confused as to why they have the newborn in a "normal leg position." Anyone know anything about this? I always have thought that it was better (and looks comfortable for newborn) to be in a "frog-like position" in the early months!
Sylvia Ortiz says
What a great way to carry your child close to you "handsfree" and without the added stress to your body; comfortable for both Mom and Baby! Thanks for the detailed review!!
Dani Osenbaugh says
I have used Ergo carriers almost exclusively & it looks like Baby Bjorn is now making their carrier to support the child better & distribute the weight better for the parent. I'd definitely give them a try again after reading this review!
Janet W. says
I used a Boba Air a few times with my grandson. This seems much more supportive for mom and baby.
Rebecca Xavier says
I would love the Travel Crib Light 2.
Cop-MonsteR says
I really like the Bjorn carrier. I like the fact it has wide padded shoulders to help distribute the weight. I like the fact that you can carry the baby on the front, back, and forward facing. I really like the fact it has a cheat sheet hidden inside it. That is so clever and will make it easy for when Nana or Auntie is carrying for the LO.
The Noyce Family Adventure says
I love that they finally made a product that the child is a more comfortable sitting position. I don't think I would have my child facing out in this carrier though, as it doesn't look too comfortable.
Di says
this carrier has so many great features - I love that it can adapt as the child grows
Di says
I'd like their high chair too!
Renee Smith says
I would love to have the travel crib light 2. I've never had a carrier so would really like to try this one.
Sheena Johnson says
Thanks for the review. It looks so comfy and safe!
daniela tapia says
Nivce baby carrier ! I've never used one b4 b/c my babies felt squished in them! But I like the 4 ways to use this BabyBjorn carrier. I would also like the plate and spoon with cup!
Sarah says
Looks like a nice baby carrier. Honestly, I have really always WANTED to be a huge baby wearer but I have yet to find the option that really works for me. I have tried soft structured carriers and wraps, but both leave me feeling like I don't have baby positioned quite right, baby fussing uncontrollably to get out, and my back extremely uncomfortable. I haven't tried a Bjorn yet though
abedabun dawn says
I love your review! This would be great for those times when baby wants your attention and you need to have your hands free for doing other things. I am really bad about holding my grand daughter while trying to do other things. It looks like baby would be safe and secure in it. I love their high chair also.
Alycia Mundall says
I had one years ago but from your review I see ALOT has changed.....one being the low back support! That Cradle looks pretty cute!
ufg8trj says
thanks for the review, it looks complicated, but I think they all are! Worth it if you ever want to leave thehouse!
terrajunebug says
I think the carrier looks so convenient for parents. I like how you can use as a backpack carrier as well as front. Looks easy to put on, easy to adjust. I agree that a couple of extra pockets or loops for keys and wallet would be handy.
Julie Morrow says
I am shocked and impressed that this one carrier can accommodate a newborn through a 3 year old! Thanks for the thorough review! If I could pick something else from the BabyBjorn website, I would want to try the 'Babysitter Balance.'
ATLmama says
Thank you for the review. I've read in the past that the BabyBJORN was not as supportive as other carriers in the legs and crotch area, so I'm glad to see they've made changes that make it much more supportive. I also like the Babysitter Balance.
momo says
My son and daughter-in-law could really use one of these for my grandson.
Brittany says
I think it is awesome you can use a newborn in this carrier! if i had to pick something else I think it would be the travel crib!
Dana Lynn says
I've heard so many good things about these carriers - it seems to be THE brand to buy. Seems it would be much easier than those wraps that are like wrapping up a mummy!
tasha may says
I love this idea, I;ve used similar kinds in the past but this is top notch and I love that it can handle more weight! I also really like the highchair!
Maria Elena Dominguez says
I love it, looks comfy for mom and baby
Jennifer Marohn says
I guess since I've not tried one since their crotch dangler days, I am still a little leary of them. I would have to try it myself first to be fully comfortable buying one. They have other nice things too, and I've been eyeing their potty seats for a while.
tanzer1326 says
I think it does look very interesting. I had a Bjorn with my oldest and hated it, but at that point I had not known any better. It is nice to see they have come far with with their design!
Sam says
I like the fact that you can wear this front or back, or front facing in front. And I would love to have their booster chair!
Carly T says
I've heard that Baby Bjorn carriers are tough on the shoulders once baby gets bigger, but it looks like they've improved the design for this carrier. I'd like to try it out. It really looks like it offers a little bit of everything. I'd also love the Bouncer Balance Soft for my little one.
Kristen says
Wow, I have heard so many good things about BabyBjorn carriers, but this one looks so versatile compared with the prior model I have typically seen that only lets you front carry. I think this was a great innovation! Checking out their site, I also like the Safe Step - I think this is much different than previous steps I've seen with the non-slip rubber mat, and you've got to love the
Amanda Stano says
I have never had a Bjorn carrier, but have heard mixed reviews. Seeing the new carrier and the great things you've said about it may have peaked my interest. This sure does look comfortable for mommy and child!
Bethany says
Great review! I appreciate that you talked about the hip dysplasia concerns! 🙂
I would love to have the high chair and the eat & play smock. My little guy is running around getting food everywhere!
Ann Paquette-Lukens says
It looks like a great carrier!
Boise Wiebers says
I would love to try their Travel Light 2 crib. It looks like Bjorn has made some great improvements in their carriers over the years.
Danielle says
Im an ergo girl, but the bjourn is a pretty great carrier too!
Tiffany Holtzinger says
The carrier sounds terrific! This is a great review. I'm loving the outward facing option... hard to find a carrier that can do this! A+ And thanks for clarifying about the hip dysplasia!
Manjari says
This carrier looks way better than the one I used for my first! I also like Baby Bjorn's eating smock. A tiny little bib doesn't protect baby's clothes very well!
mysweetie124 says
I love the idea of this carrier. It being able to be worn frontwards or backwards is great. I also love the babybjorn highchair.
darby86 says
Looks like Baby Bjorn has done a great job redesigning. I'm still a die hard Beco fan though 🙂
Michelle Lee says
It's probably still better to wear your baby facing in for a lot of reasons, but at least there is a better option out there now for those people who think that their baby needs to face out.
babydinosmomma says
I have an ergo and love it but am not a fan of the infant insert so this would be great! I love that it has the wide leg base so its not a crotch dangler.
3BooFamily says
I would like to have the smart potty. It seems a better choice for traveling with a ECing baby.
Guggie Daly says
I love to see them creating a more ergonomical carrier! I also love their bjorn all in one seats.
Beanybopp says
WOW they have defiantly changed their design in 15 years (which I would hope so lol) The one my mom gave me is so complicated with all these snaps and it is not very versatile. I love how this one is so easy to adjust for both wearer and baby. I also like how it is made with baby's hips, spine and all in mind.
Beanybopp says
I wanted to add this for the Fall Back into Baby-wearing contest to answer ALL of the question...I would also love to have their Travel Crib Light 2
Jessica Wiese says
I would love the BabyBjorn little potty for my toddler.
ldoepker says
I just love how you can wear it in the front or back and in the front your kid can be facing foreword.
Daisy Lestari says
I used to have a Bjorn a few years back but found it hard on my back... with all these new ergonomic improvements, I'd love to give it another shot!
Crystal Davis says
It looks comfortable and I really like the little instruction tag. I would love to have the travel crib.
~*April*~ says
I have stayed away from the bjorn because i had read it wasnt good for the baby's hips but now that i see they have worked to come up with something better i like it a lot more!
elisesmom922 says
Looks like a nice baby carrier. Honestly, I have really always WANTED to be a huge baby wearer but I have yet to find the option that really works for me
Ali Haider says
I would love your review. This would be nice for the times when baby wants your care and you need to have your hands open for doing other things. I am really very unfortunate about caring my only son while trying to do other things. It looks like baby would be safe and secure in it. I love their high chair also.
claudia rodriguez says
The high chair in white definetly my favorite
Kristy S says
I really like how easy it is to adjust the size.
diamondgirl says
What a great way to carry your child close to you "handsfree" and without the added stress to your body; comfortable for both Mom and Baby! Thanks for the detailed review!!
Joanne Gentry says
Your review makes this baby carrier look so easy to wear and very efficient. I love that you can wear it back and front. and adjusts to several age limits!
Tiffany Dover says
I think the carrier one is PERFECT for us. I've been looking for a carrier just like it and am super stoked about this!
leahrose111 says
This carrier looks much better on the hips for baby than their other products. I also like the look of the bouncer blance soft
Leela R. says
This looks like a very well thought out carrier. Hopefully this helps Baby Bjorne move past it's reputation for only producing "crotch danglers". I've never considered lurching one of their carriers...until now.
Melissa Testut says
This would be perfect for my little one. He's gotten too big for the carrier I've been using!
Cindy Kong says
I love how you can wear him facing forward so he can see what you see or switch him around when he is sleeping so he can sleep peacefully. And also can be wore on the back, so many options.
Cindy Kong says
i would love the potty chair too..
sarah says
I love that this carrier is useable from day 1 and there's instructions for how to get the baby in the carrier by yourself lol
Jess says
I think it's a really versatile carrier. It looks super comfortable, supportive for baby, and easy to use!

I love that the Baby Carrier One was developed reflecting the advice of the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. I'd also love to have the Travel Light Crib 2
Nofearpapertiger says
I love that this carrier is safe for newborns but will grow with my baby since it's adjustable. I also love the Bouncer Balance Soft.

Amy Rose says
SSCs have come a long way in the past couple years! I tried an Ergo, have an original Boba, really want a Boba 3G...but I'm actually impressed with this ergonomic, non-crotch-dangler Baby Bjorn and think I would actually like it! And they have a new booster chair for mealtimes now! That could come in really handy for our preschooler, at home and out.
Alycia Mundall says
I love how the head support can fold down!
Cindy Kong says
i love the four positions. i would also love the chair potty
Brit says
Love that it has more positions than just in the front. Looks like a sturdy, versatile, and comfy carrier.
Sarah Hayes says
wow, wubba is getting so big! I love his face in the pic of him facing outwards lol. I think this looks like a good carrier. I like how it adjust. Their travel cribs are also very nice and easy to set up and take down
Erica Williams says
I love that there is an inward facing AND outward facing option. Thanks for the great review. Looks functional and comfy.
Bella So Savvy says
I really love that this carrier can grow with baby and you can carry baby in the front or the back.
Cop-MonsteR says
I love the piggy-back option with this carrier. I think it is great for older children. I also really like the instructions being attached. I know it will be helpful when Nana is watching the baby.
Cop-MonsteR says
I forgot to add I also love their cradle. I think it looks so comfortable.
magreen says
Wow, I didn't know the bjorn now makes a carrier that allows for wide leg sitting - so much better for babies hips! I really like their high chair too!
choirfiend says
So glad they are improving their products~ Nice to have teh back option as well
diamondgirl says
Love the review, and it looks like they made it so the child sits better
dsmith says
I think this carrier would be great for my youngest!! He is the 3rd and following around a 3 and 4 year old is easiest with baby attached! I love that it has a newborn position as he is only 8 weeks old now!
Julia Christine says
I like that they've improved on their carries. The wide leg position is great for babies hips. I also like their soft bib.
Jessica says
Thanks for sharing!
Jennifer Lewis Blog says
Thank you for your review. I think this looks like an "all in one" carrier, but it does look a bit "confusing" I guess it takes trying too! I am loving all of your blogs! Thank you so much!
caseyrusso says
I would also love the Balance Bouncer Soft on the BabyBjorn website. I'm happy they are making a carrier that is more ergonomically correct, though front-facing still looks like it would cause hip problems over time for baby.
Alexia Smith says
Adore the adjustable height feature!
Mary Schuh says
I don't know if I like the front carry option, but I do enjoy all the other positions you can carry your baby in. It looks a little more manly so my husband would love it better than our Galaxy Grey Ergo, I think.
Krystal Rivera says
loving the instruction tab it has on it and i love how cute it looks! this one would so be perfect for me and my babe
ATLmama says
I like that it doesn't require an infant insert. Of their other offerings, I am interested in their cradle because it is so minimalistic.
Manjari says
I love that it can be used outward-facing! My baby would NOT ride in a carrier facing inward.
I like their smart potty, too, for on-the-go potty emergencies.
The Noyce Family Adventure says
Looks much better and more comfortable than their older ones! 🙂
3BooFamily says
This carrier looks well padded and comfortable for the wearer. It seems to be the forward facing postion looks uncomfortable for the child, looks like a crotch dangler. As far as their other products, I like the smart potty. It'd be great for the car.
KaraLinne says
Thanks for the review, this carrier looks better than their older ones! I like that the child is in a more correct sitting position and that it gives so many options!
Jenny S says
The features are awesome!
Cathy says
I'm really interested to see this carrier in person. I think Baby Bjorn is listening and learning from what babywearing educators have to say and things can only get better!
Janice Auna says
Thanks for the review. I never really liked any of the other baby bjorn carriers I used, but this seems like it's much improved. Excited to try 🙂
Katrina Smith says
I love the design of this carrier. They make great products. I would like to try all their feeding products (high chair, booster and plate/spoon). I couldn't pick just one!
Diana says
Love the baby secure buckles and the multiple carry positions.
Laura Miller says
Baby Bjorn has the best products...this carrier is on the top of the list for my new baby.
Jes says
I like that this doesn't require an infant insert. That was such a pain with the Ergo! As for other products,
I like the look of their highchairs!
Jessica says
Looks very nice. sleek and stylish! The little one looks pretty comfortable in it as well.
Carly T says
I like that BabyBjorn seems to be responding to some of the challenges people have had with their carriers. This looks like it would be worth trying. It's clever the way it adapts for an infant. I'd also like the Bouncer Balance Soft.
desiree reilly says
this is great idea adnd they are becoming popular out here in mo the amish were even using them they said the kid are more comfy with them and they can do the choir usng them
Linda Marie Finn says
I like the wide leg feature. I like the highchair also.

Amy Gockley says
This looks very comfortable and safe. I also like the wide leg feature it has.
Brittany says
The forward facing carry still looks uncomfortable to me but the carrier as a whole is a great improvement. Love the fold out instructions.
Andrea says
I'm glad that Baby Bjorn has finally taken the ergonomic step - although your son doesn't look particularly thrilled in the forward facing position! 😉
Meghann Kirzeder says
I'm glad that BabyBjorn has gotten into the business of wider-seated carriers...but I wonder why it's retail price is so much higher than other similar designs?
Crystal Davis says
I'm relieved they finally realized their carrier was not good for kids and changed it. It looks much more comfortable for mom and baby.
MathGirl72 says
I love that it is adjustable. So many carriers aren't adjustable but claim to fit 8 to 30 lbs. What?
Kimberly says
This looks like such a well thought out carrier. Definitely not just a piece of fabric that you need to google how to use! I love that the legs are so adjustable and that the instructions are attached.
Shanee C says
I think this carrier is brilliant! Looks simple enough to use, exactly what a first time mom needs. It looks comfortable and has easy to use features! From the website I'd love to have a bouncer seat!
Alexia Smith says
I think it sounds amazing. Love the versatility it seems to have!
Suzanne Michele says
I love that Bjorn has designed an ergonomic carrier. We already own the plate/spoon combo from Bjorn, our son loved those spoons when he was first learning to use a spoon. I'd love to also have the Eat & Play Smock, would be great for crafty and messy activities!
Ashley-Raye says
I'm so glad they designed a carrier that is better for babies! I always hate seeing carriers that don't support babies' hips and having a "mainstream" carrier brand make changes is a big step!
Cynthia Dingwell says
This really is an amazing product, This baby carrier is so multi-functional and it grows with baby and you. I hope I win this for my daughter who is expecting her first child April 23/14. Thanks!
Dakota122503 says
I'm still not thrill with the facing out position, but the legs on the facing-in positions look a lot more ergonomic! I love the Baby Bjorn little potties, you can never have enough of those when you are potty training (one for the car, one for the kitchen, living room 😉 ) I like them because they are so short the potty trainer can sit with no help!
srcruz says
I love that it grows with the baby. The fact that it adjusts to their growing needs is what grabs my attention the most
Dani Osenbaugh says
I like that it gives the little one more of the correct support now.
Gecko Girl says
Love the more ergonomic position and would also love the Balance Bouncer Soft
singer4life says
I love how the new design has been made with correct positioning in mind, and the zipper height adjuster looks really cool. I'd also love to have the Travel Crib Light II
Julie Hutson says
I love the zipper transition from baby to toddler. Great review!
Julie Hutson says
I would also love to have the Travel Crib Light 2
mommyamb says
Thank you for the review. I am glad Baby Bjorn finally got the idea and changed their design. I would consider trying this new carrier. If I were to pick one other item, it would be the Travel Crib light 2.
Aeoliana Elliott says
I think it looks awesome. I love how it's REALLY an all in one carrier!
Piper Leigh says
Great review! I love that his has the different leg positions. Looks like a great product!! I'd love to have one of their bounces as well. 🙂
Jennifer Stone says
Wow! So many options! The hidden manual is so unique!
Amber says
I like that it can be worn from infant to toddler. It looks good too, my husband would definitely use this. I'd also love the Travel Crib Light 2.
terrajunebug says
I really like how the carrier has been designed for the comfort of the child- better support for hips
Stephanie Slavy says
I like that they better designed the hip support.
caroline garner says
I like that you can use it front or back once your child is over a year and also like the booster seat they make.
Stefani Leavitt says
I love this! I think it's especially awesome that it's so versatile and can convert for different sizes/ages. I'm with the previous poster, too - my husband would totally use this!
Jane says
Had no idea they make kitchen products too. I love the booster seat.
Alicia Thompson says
I thought facing outward wasn't safe? I like the buckles a lot though. A carrier like this seems much more complicated than a wrap.
Chrissy says
I really like the Baby Carrier Active as well. I love being out doors and bird watching is a new hobby so I thing this carrier is GREAT!
Betsy Klein says
LOVE the hidden instructions! I also love the easy ability to change the leg openings.
Jutta Pearce says
Wow, I have to say this looks pretty complicated. But I'm sure it would get easier with use. I love the idea of having a forward facing option.
Katie says
I like that you can adjust the legs!
Tara says
like the adjustable features to make it fit a wide range of sizes/weights
MommaM says
I really like the simplicity of their cradle design
Heather Karickhoff-Bahm says
Love that this is able to be used for a range of sizes.
Amanda Stano says
I have heard mixed reviews about Baby Bjorn and would love to try one for myself someday to make a decision of my own. Your son looks virtually weightless, even forward facing and this looks comfortable for both mother and child. I love the wide-leg option, though, and the hidden instructions!
Nicole says
I think that this looks really complicated compared to other SSC's andfor the price I'd definitely go with Ergo. Looks like a huge improvement from their previous designs, though 🙂

I've heard really good things about the babybjorn and would love to try it out. I have an Ergo and would like to see if the bjorn is a better fit for my baby.
Amy Cates says
I love this carrier and all of the options that it gives. I love that you can carry bigger kiddos, since my son has gp and is not the easiest to carry this would be perfect for us.
Rebecca009 says
I love that it has lots of options, I didnt care for the one they had before except that it was pretty nice looking. I wonder why they have both options for wide leg and "normal" The wide leg looks more normal and comfy to me also looks like it would distribute the weight more.
Ben & Sarah says
Would love to have the cradle or high chair!

Kelly Choma says
I really like the new design of the Carrier One. The back carry and the ergonomic front carry are a big step up from the old Bjorn carrier. I would also like to have the Travel Crib Lite 2.
Talia says
I'm glad Baby Bjorn redesigned their carrier; they were getting some nasty press! Also, the Bouncer Balance looks very sleek and comfy for babies.
Rachel says
I like that it was designed with recommendations regarding hip dysplasia in mind. I'd also like the soft bib on their website!
Jill Myrick (jsc123) says
I also love the BABYBJORN High Chair.

MissMannah says
The Carrier One looks really good, a much better design than the old Bjorn.
Amber Musselman says
Lots of different ways to carry baby!
anna johnson says
I didn't know about all the products. The baby carrier looks durable and comfortable and stylish and the bouncer balance soft is great too!
matope says
I like that this has a wider seat than their other carriers for a more ergonomic carry but i'd really like babysitter balance bouncer
Caitlin & Jason says
I love how they've made the leg wider. Recently my 13 mo old has wanted constant holding. My Baby bjorn has saved me! I also love the travel crib.

Beth Ann says
I like that they made the legs wider, that was a big concern before. 🙂 I also kinda like the hidden instructions. That's cute. 😉
Puddles and Poop says
I cannot believe how big of a child you can "wear" with this carrier. It looks very secure which is what I am always worried about. I especially like the pictures that you show that demonstrates just how snug it is on your body. Great review!

Nofearpapertiger says
I love the versatility - that you can carry the baby in so many ways - and also easily adjust the carrier to fit my husband or myself - and it'd be simple to adjust it to our growing baby's needs.
I also like the Bouncer Balance Soft.

midgelidge says
I would love to have the Babysitter Balance bouncer. I love it!
Julie Morrow says
I would love love love to try out their 'Babysitter Balance' bouncer seat. They make such quality products that there is no doubt in my mind that this would be a sensational bouncer for baby. And the overall look of it is pretty great too!
Christina Strapp says
This looks like a great baby carrier. It looks a lot better than the original one. I would like to try the travel crib.
Ashleigh Swerdfeger says
That's great they have improved their design. I like how they are working with advice from the hip dsyplasia society, I also like the versatility.
rmr says
Its one good carrier. Very simple. I also love the Bouncer and Cradle along with its accessories!
amanda whitley says
i love the pockets on the carrier one. from Babybjorn i would also like the Travel Crib Light 2.
Lauren says
Thanks for the review, it is nice to see them come out with an ergonomic carrier, though why it is so much more expensive than all the rest of the SSCs out there I'm not sure!
The couple things that jumped out at me is that they are doing the demo with baby much lower than I'd ever show parents, as a babywearing educator. The back carry is pretty bizarre, very inconvenient to always
The NEW Mommiez Blend says
I love the outward facing feature. My Beco doesn't have that. I could totally use the Eat and Play Smock. Do they make bibs big enough for kids LOL?!
Ashley-Raye says
I like that the instructions are built into the carrier (I tend to lose all paperwork that comes with everything I own). I wish it didn't have material between the carrier and baby, though. With little ones, I like to at least be somewhat skin to skin.
Claybrook Family says
I like this new design much better than the Bjorn I had 9 years ago (hated it!!).
iradanik says
Wonderful carrier that grows with your child. Love everything about it.
S. Benefield says
I tried a Baby K'tan wrap with my son, as he loved to be held, but he quickly outgrew it. I wish I had just gotten one of these when he was still small enough to fit -- he's 15 months and already 30 pounds, so this wouldn't last long!
04liquidS says
I think it looks much improved compared to earlier models! I like the wider seat. I would love to have the Eat and Play Smock!
Jeanette Elb says
I love that you show the back carry and the facing carry, there have been a lot of articles about hip dysplasia and forward facing carriers, love that this shows the versatility and comfort in this carrier! It looks very comfortable for everyone!
Chloe Morehead says
I love how sturdy and comfy the carrier looks 🙂 I would also love to have the smart potty.
R Roberts says
The carrier has so many awesome features. I really like the safe step too.
Nicole says
wow looks so much better then mine!!!! I need an upgrade
Leela R. says
I love that the carrier can safely front carry as I think my little guy would like to be able to see things from a front facing position. Another product I like is the potty trainer. We are aways away from potty training but it's never you early to begin thinking about it.
kierkap says
Wow I love the many options that this carrier has. What a great review you did. I love that there are front facing options. And the shoulder pads look thick and well padded like they might not hurt too much.
kierkap says
I also love the bouncer balance soft in black/grey mesh.
bellsam says
does this carrier cause hip issues associated with the old one?
Cortney Tackett says
I love that it faces outward. Another item I would like is a highchair!
melanie molnar says
thank you for the facts. I would love a carrier tht can last for a long time such as this one
KaraLinne says
This carrier looks like it is full of improvements from older baby bjorn carriers! I love the adjustable height, the ability to keep the legs wide apart, and the hidden instructions. Overall it looks like a great product, thank you for the review 🙂
April G says
I love the wide leg carry position! It's great that they make this now, and it seems very versatile for a growing child.
Allure says
I love the hidden pocket instructions! instead of having it rubbing against your clothing which eventually have the writing fade away this is so smart. I also love how i can wear my baby anyway i want =)
Megan says
How clever is the hidden instructions pocket? Whoever came up with that is smart!
Kekiinspired says
Love to wide to normal feature!
Porphyrianna says
I like how versatile this carrier is, and how many positions it can be used in (even if I wouldn't personally do the outward facing.) Also the hidden instruction pocket is VERY smart. I don't know how many carriers I've had that I've had problems adjusting or changing positions and have had to search for the instructions or look them up online.
Bianca @ The Pierogie Mama says
Great review, but I'm still leery of the forward facing design. I'd probably still carry baby facing me.
Jutta Pearce says
I like all the facing options. I think that is an excellent idea for new parents who don't know what their child will like yet.
harleybug says
wow, this carrier looks amazing, i love how it goes up to 45lbs, and that you can carry your child in many different ways, and that you can easily share this carier with your partner so mom and dad will get use out of it
harleybug says
love this carrier!! looks comfy and easy to use, love that it goes up to 45lbs!
Gabrièle Béland says
even though i am not a huge fan of wearing baby outwards, I still think this carrier is great
Michelle Lee says
I love the easy width adjustments of this carrier. I'd love to have the Baby Bjorn travel crib also.

tasha may says
I think I like the baby facing frontwards, seems easiest and most comfy for both mom and baby, and the adjustable straps are great for easy access!
Victoria Mayweathers says
I love this carrier it has four different positions love the hidden instructions I can really use this for my son I really wanna try the newborn position I'm so happy to even enter this giveaway thank you
Deana Pfeiffer says
I love how comfortable it looks to wear in the back carrier position. Very important.
Joanne Gentry says
So many options, this carrier looks like a real winner! Padded seat, safety buckles...awesome!
elisesmom922 says
The Carrier One looks really good, a much better design than the old Bjorn I was given.
Megan says
I love that it's adjustable and can be used for the entire babywearing "life" of a child. However, I feel that at that price point, there are just so many more beautiful carriers out there, that I would probably not shell out this much for a basic black one. I would love to see it come in some more interesting colors and patterns.
Joanna Lou Tabara says
The Baby Carrier One is so fascinating, it can support newborn to toddlers, unlike other kinds that I felt uncomfortable with.This design is more comfortable both for mom and baby.
Jennifer Marohn says
Given their reputation of crotch danglers, I am so glad Bjorn got on the band wagon of safe carriers. I would love to try this one out with my 30lb 2yo.
Lovely Light says
I love that there is a back carry option! And that there are instruction with a pocket!
Holly says
I've been a long-time fan of Baby Bjorn but I'd been reading some things lately that make me nervous about it. But I LOVE this carrier! And I love that the instructions are permanently attached...brilliant!!
Christina Zurowski says
I really cannot wait to get this carrier. I love everything about it. The newborn vs infant setting, the easy buckles and clasps and all of the different ways you can wear it! It looks so comfortable.
Ashley Campbell says
Looks very well-put together, nice material - doesn't look "cheap." You can change the height and the position of the carrier so easily.
Chelsea Ewing says
This carrier looks way more advanced than their original that I bought for my first 3 years ago! Way more comfortable for baby and whoever is carrying. P.S. My mom has always thought baby carrying was weird and worried about baby falling out, but the original Bjorn changed her mind : )
Karena Rendon says
this is one i know my husband would wear and not make him feel "girly". this would be perfect for us, thanks so much for your in depth review.
ldoepker says
I love this carrier I like that you can carry in the front and on the back. I would also like to have Travel Crib Light 2
laina's mom says
This carrier has a lot of nice features to it! I'd love to win one for my BWI Chapter!
Andrea Merrill says
This is cool. My favorite Baby Bjorn product is the potty. We used one for my daughter, and she was fully trained by her 2nd birthday.
Nicole says
I love that the carrier can be from newborn up! I also like the Babysitter Balance in organic. Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
Tara says
I love that ONE is ergonomic! I would love to try it. And I've never seen the baby plate but now that I have I really want one!
Amanda E. says
This seems like a very versatile carrier. I like that they specifically tell you at what ages you can use the different positions so that your baby is always safe! I would love to win one of these 🙂
chellybeans says
I have this one, I love it! Although sometimes it feels like it's a bit "much" for everyday use.
Maegan D says
i looks like a better bjorn then the others ive seen, i love the leg position adjustability.
Megan says
Definitely looks more comfortable than the original bjorn. The back carry option would be nice to have.
Michelle J. says
I think it is interesting that it is basically a pull over carrier. I don't know if that is good or bad interesting, but I do like that most of the adjustments are at the waist. I also like the Bjorn Travel Crib Light 2.
Christina Strapp says
After the review, I really like this carrier. I didn't know much about it and didn't have enough information. I like the different carry positions. Another item I would like is the travel crib.
Scianda Long says
Honestly, I think this carrier looks fantastic, though I do agree that a little storage compartment would be nice.
Rebelmommy says
I really love the way this carrier looks. Very daddy friendly both in looks and ease of use, plus I love the hidden instructions pocket!
Cierra Gellatly says
Love that hidden instruction pocket!
Mama Blamer says
It looks so comfortable to wear. I love it doesn't have an annoying chest clip on it. I love that it can hold a toddler up to 33 pounds that's great.
Danny Garza says
The change up on positions is a great idea!
Melinda says
I love that Babybjorn finally has a carrier that is hip healthy. when I first had my son I refused to get a Babybjorn because they weren't good for developing hips, but this carrier looks great.
I looked at their other products and I love the Baby Cup. The wide base is unique and looks like a great feature.
Dessagod says
That is awesome that they made a better carrier, they have such a bad reputation. I also like their high chair and their potty trainer.
Marisa Johnson says
I am so loving this carrier. The hidden instructions booklet is awesome. It's also wonderful how this was developed with a Pediatrician. Thank you so much for sharing this.
tracie nath says
I like the ability to change the leg positions. The instructions hidden in that little pocket is pretty neat!
judi says
The hidden instructions are very clever! I'm glad to see that Baby Bjorn is finally making carriers that avoid the "crotch dangling" position for little ones.
Roxanne Doyle says
This looks great for a toddler
Cassandra Kelton says
I think this is a great carrier and I would love to try one! I'd also love to have one of their Potty Chairs!
javcat says
Ergonomic is key in carrying! It makes this carrier and exciting one!!!
lilyk says
This carrier looks very nice. Thanks for the interesting and informative review!
Diana Chastain says
I have always been interested in Baby Bjorn products, but I thought you weren't suppose to outward face carry because of hip dysplasia?
Michael Lambert says
This carrier looks great. I like that it can go from newborn to toddler.
Megan C says
I'm so glad that they have changed their design to be more ergonomic. I want one!
Sara Lake says
So far I love the BabyBjorn One (mesh). Our baby seems to be comfortable and enjoy the outward facing position. My one complaint: the headrest keeps unfolding up in front of his face. A couple times I've tried to clip it down with a clothespin but it doesn't seem to hold. Is there a trick to having it stay folded down?
Linda Mannst says
I really like this carrier. I love that you can carry them on your front or back. Thank you for sharing this
Mare W says
We are in the process of trying to find a carrier that fits tall children. Exercise after supper leaves one using a stroller with nowhere to go with the 3 month old. This looks like the best option out there. Glad to know Amazon has it cheaper. This is a good, in-depth review. Thanks!
Maddy says
I've actually seen/heard mixed reviews on this carrier, so I'm glad to read yours which provides a lot more detail and info. I love that you can use it for such a huge variety of ages, without having to buy an insert for a newborn!
