BabyBjorn One Woven Front Carry Baby Carrier for Infant, Black

My husband and I were first time parents 18 months ago and had no idea what carrier to register for. There are about a million different ones and we were pretty lost. We figured the only way to make a decision was to try them ALL out. So we ended up trying the ergo, ergo 360, original baby bjorn, lillibaby complete, moby, ring sling, baby katan and a sling by seven slings. Here's what we loved/didnt like about each. Original ergo: LOVED the pocket. Hated that baby couldn't face out and see the world when she was older. Ergo 360: I really loved it but it was much harder for me to put on and take off because the ergo uses buttons instead of the clips like those used on the baby bjorn. Also, the baby bjorn one felt a little sturdier to me. Finally, we liked the baby bjorn one more because we didn't need a separate newborn insert like you need for the ergo. Baby katan: didn't feel sturdy to me. And it stretched out the longer I wore it so I felt like baby wasn't really secure. Original baby bjorn: we loved it because it was a little smaller than the One but we really liked the waist strap on the one so the babies weight is evenly distributed. Moby wrap: wayyyy to much fabric! Too hot for the south and too much of a learning curve for me. I wanted something easier to put on and take off. Lillibaby complete: too bulky for me and I found it difficult to take on and off alone. Seven slings: NO stretch. Didn't look comfy for baby and definitely wasn't comfy for me. Long story short, the baby bjorn one felt sturdiest to us, we loved the clips versus buttons, it wasn't complicated to put on and take off, and it was the most comfortable to wear. Also, it fit my husband and I both really well even though he is 6'4 and I'm 5'2. It was VERY easy to adjust for our respect We now have an almost two year old and we still hike with her in the baby bjorn one. Expecting baby #2 and excited to be able to use this carrier from the start with no need for a newborn insert!
