This ergonomic BABYBJÖRN® Baby Carrier One is a versatile babywearing option that allows you to carry your newborn up until they’re three years old. Its flexible, breathable fabric options lets you see and feel that you’re carrying baby in a natural position with their back in a C curve. Featuring a sturdy waist belt and padded shoulder straps to relieve pressure on your back and shoulders, it’s as comfortable for you to wear as it is for baby. Choose whether you want to carry your child facing in (two height positions), facing out or on your back. Use the upper height position for newborns (at least 8 pounds) so your baby is carried in the correct position close to your face. Your baby should be close enough for you to kiss the top of their head. The wide, fully adjustable seat area ensures a comfortable and ergonomically correct position for your child’s hips. Luxuriously thick padding in the shoulder straps gives you superior carrying comfort. The wide, sturdy waist belt gives you excellent pressure relief and good carrying ergonomics. The head support protects newborns and gives the correct support until they are able to hold their head up unaided. For older babies, you can also keep the head support unfolded when your baby is resting or sleeping in the baby carrier. You can easily fold it up or down and adjust the firmness of the support it provides. As your child grows heavier, back carrying in the baby carrier will be a more comfortable option for you. We recommend that you only start to carry your child on your back after the age of 12 months since you will not have the same degree of supervision.
