The Best Baby Carrier

| February 11, 2012

best baby carrierI was looking forward to getting active again and shifting my post baby weight!

This baby carrier really is the best baby carrier, it gives us the freedom to go out and about comfortably and without hassle. And it’s hugely beneficial if you live in a city as it makes getting on and off public transport a breeze, not to mention fighting your way through crowded streets or busy shopping malls!

In the early days our BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrierallowed me to leave the house when our baby was still too young for a pram (newborns love to be snuggled close to Mummy or Daddy for comfort, warmth and the reassuring smell of their parents).

We bought the BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrierwhen I was still pregnant, in anticipation of our newborn baby and being able to go out and about for walks with her.

We used the BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrierdaily in the first few months, often going out more than once a day when we wanted some fresh air, or I craved a caffeine fix or my baby needed a sleep during the day.

We absolutely made the right choice with this baby carrier the BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrieris invaluable.

A gentle rocking motion is created when you walk your baby in the BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrierwhich will help to soothe your baby to sleep. I found taking my baby out in the baby carrier was one of the best ways to guarantee my baby would sleep during the day.

Once your baby is around 3 months old their neck muscles will become increasingly strong and it will enable your baby to hold their head up and move their head from side to side. The baby carrier allows your baby to face inwards or outwards. Our baby started facing outwards at around 5 months old and loved travelling in a forwards facing position and being able to see the world in front of her, and she still successfully slept in the baby carrier. I think the excitement of everything going on around her often helped to tire her out!

The BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrieris extremely comfortable to wear with your baby in as the design provides extra lower back support.

The Baby Bjorn Active Baby Carrier is Paediatritian recommended and guaranteed free from harmful substances (Oeko-tex class 1 for babies certified).
