Baby Bjorn Original Baby Carrier Review

When my son was first born I had a Fisher Price baby carrier.  I would take him on walks around the neighborhood and return with an aching back and a stomach drenched in sweat.  After several months, my sister passed along to me her Baby Bjorn carrier.  What a difference!  The straps were much more comfortable and the design allowed my son's weight to be distributed better so I could wear him much longer before experiencing pain. 

It did take a little while to get used to the way the straps work, but once you get it down it's easy.  We went on vacation to Niagara Falls and I wore him anytime we were out sightseeing.  It was so nice that he was able to enjoy the views just like we could!  It was also nice when taking him to the zoo as it was impossible for him to see the animals from his low position in the stroller.

 This carrier wasn't so great when it came to wearing my son around the house.  I wouldn't dare cook while wearing him, as he would be between me and the stove.  And any task that required bending would cause a lot of back strain.  In those cases, a carrier that allowed you to wear baby on the back would be better I think.
