Customer Reviews

Brilliant for taking the weight off!
My 3 week old daughter loves being carried upright, it is often the only thing that will calm her. However it is tiring for me to hold her upright for longer than 5 minutes, especially as I had a c-section, so I decided to purchase this carrier - and it's fantastic. My daughter will not go to sleep when being walked in her pram, but within 5 minutes of swaying to music whilst in her carrier she dropped off! I think she finds it more secure than a pram. It's very comfortable for the adult too. My only complaint is the instructions for putting it on are not easy to decipher - initially I thought I might have to return the carrier as I could not work out how to fit it, and thought at 5'2" I might be too short for a good fit - but once you have worked them out its very straightforward. My best baby buy so far!

A life-saver!!
Fantastic baby carrier - easy to put on and take off without disturbing baby too much (if he/she is asleep in it) and a life saver around the house, when you are trying to get chores done, but baby wants your attention! Love it.

Get one!
Having done quite a lot of research on the numerous slings and baby carriers out there, I decided to go for the Babybjorn Active Baby Carrier and am pleased with my choice. This supercedes some of the earlier models giving better lumber support and though very slightly more expensive, in my opinion really worth the relatively small extra amount of money. I tend to struggle with lower back problems, but have found using this carrier comfortable and easy and haven't had any problems with my back using it for anywhere up to an hour and a half at a time.

It takes a little bit of getting used to finding the right fitting, but after you use it a few times it becomes second nature and getting the baby in and out easily is no problem whatsoever. I use it not only for walks but for also settle my girl if she's feeling fractious during 'the witching hour' of 5pm-6pm and overall she loves being in there. I highly recommend this if you want some flexibility and mobility to get around but with good support.
