I bought the Cybex i GO baby carrier which is not available in the us at all. I bought if from Germany this year and it is a very sheek carrier that carriers the baby from 0-3 horizontaly and than can be carried vertically thereafter.

We were reading that August would be the launch date. Has anyone been able to purchase this carrier in the U.S. yet?

and I forgot to say, my husband and I are quite tall, so this was the ONLY stroller, that fitted us, even the Mclaren did not…

I live in Germany and have been using the carrier and the Topaz for a couple of months now. both are fantastic, really, the Topaz is very easy to push, even on bad streets like pavement and does not shake the baby so much. the carrier is very comfortable for the baby, and for my back (wich was killing me the months before…) my daughter always wanted to be carried around and we travel a lot, but she actually can even sleep inside it, and she is 14 moths old now!!! I have tried several carriers, including the Ergo and Manduca (very popular in Europe, but the Cybex suited us best…no comparisson to Baby Bjorn,against wich german pediatricians started a wave, trying to ban it…

@Anna: that is the correct leg-position for babies, because it supports the correct developement of the child’s hips! if you lift a newborn it puts his/her feet into exactly that position… the best position in a babycarrier is: knees at the level of the bellybutton.

plus it is much more comfortable than hanging only on your pubic bone without any other support! (like dangling on a bicycle without your feet touching the ground… ouch!

I’d love to hear from anyone who has tried the baby carrier. I have lots of back problems and would love to find an appropriate carrier by the time I have a baby.

Sounds good, but I don’t like the look. It looks strange with that circle near the baby’s bottom.

The baby in the carrier is practically doing the splits. I don’t see how anybody would want to sit like that for very long.

A hint: Babies should not be carried facing outwards as it is not good for their backs.

I live in Europe and have had a Cybex Onyx for several months now. It is uncomfortable for newborns even when the seat is totally reclined. The straps are not paddled and are kind of coarse. The wheels are not very stable now after these months use (my baby is 5 months old). The sun protection – I dont know how it is called- is not wide enough.

To be completely honest I cannot recommend this chair. Maybe other parents have better experiences. However, the staff in Cybex are really helpful and always replied quickly when there was a problem.

The picture with the carrier looks really weird. I thought when I first saw it the baby didn’t have any legs because of the white pants and the white background! LOL!
