Finais, my daughter will still go in the bjorn, and my husband carries her in it. She’s almost a year and just over 18 pounds, but she’s been walking the last month and a half, so it gets very little use these days. We do a lot of hiking and have an actual hiking pack for her.

I was comfortable with her in the bjorn until about 2 pounds ago, and that’s when I tried to ergo, because she was just too heavy for me. We borrowed a friend’s for a few weeks, so I’m glad I didn’t have to worry about wasting money on it.

Jen, I had the same experience with my daughter. I wanted to switch her to the Ergo when she got to be about ten lbs, but she HATED it! Always hated slings, too. I never put her in the Bjorn facing out, always facing in. This seemed to be more comfortable for both of us. But, I did need to stop using it when she hit ten pounds. We used the Baby Bjorn Air, because it was summer and she’s a sweaty girl. It just doesn’t have the support to go much past 10 lbs. My back was killing me. Now that she crawls, she doesn’t ever want to be in a carrier. So, it all worked out (except for the money I wasted on an unused Ergo and several slings.)

Man, she deserves an award for having 3 kids in less than 2 years and still being sane! Amazing.

Denise, it’s a personal preference. She can choose whatever carrier she wants.

When my youngest was first born, the only type of carrier/sling I used was the Moby Wrap. As he got older, he only liked the Ergo carrier. My oldest, on the other hand, disliked every carrier except for the Bjorn.

Well Denise, my daughter HATED the ergo, and we tried it in every position, but still enjoys the bjorn, although she’s rarely in it these days. As a newborn, the bjorn was a lifesaver, and I’m sorry I wasted money on slings because she hated those too.

We have the active carrier with the lumbar support, and we find it quite comfortable. Also, there have been no real studies showing that bjorn or similar carriers are bad for babies.

why do celebrities insist on using baby björns that are neither good for the babies’ backs nor for the person’s whos carrying? better get an ergo baby or manduca!

They’re so cute! And I love how the twin Diane’s carrying is staring at her brother, like, “One day that will be me swinging in the air!”
