BabyBjorn Baby Carrier One Air (Black Mesh)

So I brought the carrier one with the intention of being able to walk my pain in the butt dog without needing the pram. (He is a puller with no sense of walking in a straight line) And my goodness what a game changer! I'm able to walk the dog, mop the floors and generally get things done when my little human just wants to be held. The leopard print was a bonus as it's my partners least favourite pattern. As a running joke I always have one item on me thats leopard print. So this was extra an selling point and perfect for us ?

A well-designed and much loved piece of baby equipment

The Bliss Bouncer is a really well-designed product, it has clearly been made with the baby's comfort in mind. My previous bouncer seemed to hold my baby in an uncomfortable position with the straps digging into his legs as he grew bigger but the Bliss secures my baby whilst keeping him comfortable and happy. The fact it lasts up until he is two years old is fantastic, what a great idea to remove the straps! I have never come across one with this before.I also really love that it has different position settings. It adjusts really easily underneath so I can sit him up when we are playing and simply lay him down when he gets sleepy.It has a really simple design so it will fit into any modern household.

Initially I thought it was a bit plain for a baby product but really a baby chair doesn't need to be bright and colourful as they are sitting in it, not looking at it. I do think it could do with some loops or something to attach toys/teethers to as I found it hard to attach things. My baby will often only stay in a seat if he has something to chew on or play with, but regularly drops anything I give him, meaning I would have to keep returning them to him.My favourite thing about the Bliss Bouncer is how smooth and gentle the bounce is. You barely have to put any effort into bouncing it, just gently tap your foot on the edge. This is something I have found to be annoying with other bouncers. My baby hasn't figured out how to rock himself yet, but when he does it will be even better!Last but not least, this bouncer is easily portable. It folds down so it's easy to pop in the car, giving your baby somewhere to rest when visiting parents/friends etc. It also makes it easy to tidy away in the evenings when it's not in use. This was very handy for us as we live in a small flat where space is limited.Overall I think this is a great bouncer. It is a little on the expensive side, however I think the clever design and the fact it lasts to two years justifies the price.

Awesome Carrier For Baby's First Year

I was really surprised at how much I liked the Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier Mini (Anthracite-3D Mesh). I own several carriers and really loved the Mini for carrying my newborn (starting at 7lbs). It was a bit confusing at first to figure out how to use it, but the instructions were clearly written and after a day, it was so easy to put on (much easier that wraps)! I appreciate that the tabs/fasteners are color coded. The carrier is really comfortable for both baby and me (can wear for couple of hours), breathable, and lightweight. The 3D fabric has been really great for the heat wave we recently had. My baby loves being carried in the Mini (facing in) and falls asleep instantaneously every time I put it on, which allows me to get things done around the house!

My baby loves being carried in the Mini (facing in) and falls asleep instantaneously every time I put it on, which allows me to get things done around the house! It has also been a lifesaver during her witching hours. She is secure and fully supported (c-curved spine and legs in M position) and I love that she is snug--so easy to adjust the seat and head support. My husband and I can easily swap the carrier between us, unlike other carriers, because there is no waistband to adjust, which is probably my favorite feature of this carrier (easy on the post partum body!!!). One drawback I have with this carrier is that it is very difficult to breastfeed in due to where the straps are placed. I also wish that it came with a hood. Other than those minor complaints, I am a complete convert and will be definitely be using this carrier until she outgrows it (24 pounds max). Thank you WeeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this carrier to try.

Comfortable and practical

Purchased to replace a cheaper (different brand) carrier that was really uncomfortable. We've used this on long hiking trips of up to 6+ hours in the UK and in the Alps. It's very comfortable to wear, particularly where the hip straps sit (suitable for both men and women). Easy to adjust. The mesh fabric keeps it breathable. Baby was very comfortable and snuggled in it, sleeping for hours - or enjoying the views if facing outward - but you do need to dress them warmly given the mesh lining provides little/no insulation. It's also light and compact to squeeze into the last remaining space in your car boot or luggage during holiday tetris!

Fun to meet the world around me...

My baby, although she has only 3 months, like to meet the environment and things around her, and most of it is are people (friends and family). This seat is great because the baby has a look at all sides without obstruction by toys, constructions or anything else. It is very positive that we can put a child in such a soft, airy cloth and do not keep the baby all the time in hands or in bad, because after a long period of time the baby is bothered by our hands, shoulders, and her eyes are limited, and her body is often distorted when is in our arms. The position of baby in these seat is always natural. When friends and relatives come to visit they all are happy and want to have a baby in their arms (which is often known to be annoying because baby do not know these ... MoreMy baby, although she has only 3 months, like to meet the environment and things around her, and most of it is are people (friends and family).

The position of baby in these seat is always natural. When friends and relatives come to visit they all are happy and want to have a baby in their arms (which is often known to be annoying because baby do not know these people) in this seat it can have close contact with them and the baby in their area can have interaction slowly and let with a smile other people in his space, and parents can be by her side. It is a great thing that the seat can be easily carried on holidays, to grandparents house, and after a use disinfected by easy washing together with other clothes. The accessories that can be purchased for the game are good because is near to the baby hand and can be adjust the position, but the "google eyes" is made so that the position of eyes can be in such position that baby watch in cross with her eyes (it would be better that eyes are fixed in the center of accessories). Our baby from the first day is happy to stay in this seat and after 3 months, the seat looks like new one by the quality of material, so the only "problem" is that we have bought the first and the last one... :-) The price of the seat is high, and at first I calculated to buy or not, but now when I add all functions of the seat together the seat is cheap when compared with other seats.Thanks to the innovator for the great Bouncer.

Good

I am a mum of two (6 months and 3 years) and carry my youngest daughter everyday. For the first couple of months I used a stretchy wrap. Although the BabyBjorn Carrier One is suitable from birth (3.5kg and above) I don't think a structured carrier offers the same support as a wrap but having said that for those wanting to use it from the start, not having to buy a separate newborn insert is a big positive.In addition to the BabyBjorn I also have a Connecta. The BabyBjorn is a great carrier particularly for those who are inexperienced with baby wearing as it's really easy to put on and get baby in. Once you're used to them, the clips are very secure and easy to use. It's a comfortable carrier with padded straps and waist band. Having said that it's very bulky.

Once you're used to them, the clips are very secure and easy to use. It's a comfortable carrier with padded straps and waist band. Having said that it's very bulky. My Connecta folds up and fits in my changing bag which makes it far more practical for when I'm out and about. I also prefer the thinner material of the Connecta when I'm carrying under my baby wearing coat.In terms of carrying position, my daughter is comfortable in both and her hips are well supported. The position of the straps at the top on the BabyBjorn means that her arms are pinned out to the sides which is not ideal if she's sleeping. There are a number of different carrying positions. As of yet I've only carried her on my front facing me. We will back carry when she's older and although she's old enough to carry facing outwards (not an option with the Connecta) I do not feel that her hips are supported in this position and so it's not something I personally will be doing. I still carry my eldest daughter in my Connecta from time to time but by the time she was 3 she had already exceeded the maximum 15kg carrying weight of the BabyBjorn.Overall, the BabyBjorn is a practical yet stylish looking unisex carrier. It comes with a fairly hefty price tag but for that you get a well-made carrier that is easy to use and is comfortable for both baby and mum or dad (as my partner can vouch for).

Good Product But Colours Are Not As Described

I wanted a grey carrier so ordered anthracite. When it came, the carrier is actually a bluey grey. It is not the same colour as the pictures on the site or even on the box. When holding it next to something grey, the carrier is definitely more of a blue. Picture attached shows that it's different to the colour on the box. I returned it thinking it was an error but then the second order was exactly the same. Returned for refund.

Gorgeous, functional and fab quality

I recently had my second child and wanted a carrier that would allow me to hold my newborn close but still play with my toddler. The look of the carrier was important to me but comfort was the main driver. I borrowed a friends Ergobaby but couldn’t get on with it so after reading some reviews, I opted for this one and it’s been brilliant. I don’t get backache and can wear it for hours thanks to the waist strap balancing the baby’s weight. I did look at the mini version but felt the lack of waist strap would burden my neck and shoulders too much and this one has avoided that entirely. It does get warm wearing it but the material is fab quality and the clips are sturdy so it’s a decent trade off. I intend up use this carrier for years so it’s been a worthwhile ... MoreI recently had my second child and wanted a carrier that would allow me to hold my newborn close but still play with my toddler.

My 6-week old baby and I, love it!

Being a new parent, I was a bit skeptic about how my 6 week old will react being in a baby carrier instead of a pram, for a couple of hours. She absolutely loves it! We both do.She falls asleep almost instantly, even when she’s grumpy, and I have my hands free to go shopping. Very comfortable and easy to use, once you read the instruction and adapt it to your baby. I’m very pleased I went for the Carrier one Air, as she’s is getting very warm upon contact, and the mesh design of the Air allows it to breathe. I had concerns about how it would fit me as well, but It’s very customisable for different body shapes.The quality of the materials is great, and they are easy to clean the occasional dirt. I haven’t been using it for a long time but it looks very durable and ... MoreBeing a new parent, I was a bit skeptic about how my 6 week old will react being in a baby carrier instead of a pram, for a couple of hours.

Inside there’s only a manual (translated in several languages) and the Carrier.

My wife insisted.

First, yes, it's expensive.One more expensive baby thing that doesn't really "do anything" on a long list of expensive baby musts.I must say I was against it: "Do we really need it? Is the baby ever going to use it?"My wife's answer: "I had one, all my siblings had one, my baby is going to have one."Out of curiosity, when the bouncer got to the building, in it's box (as a bonus the box is very useful for carrying it around) we immediately found out, the neighbours also have one.My wife radiated smugness.I had about one week of victory, as my newborn daughter seemed completely disinterested on the all concept of the babybjorn bouncer.It's enough to say that feeling was short lived, as sometime during the second week, the baby seemed to have adopted the bouncer ... MoreFirst, yes, it's expensive.One more expensive baby thing that doesn't really "do anything" on a long list of expensive baby musts.I must say I was against it: "Do we really need it?

Sigh.Conclusion: I've tossed out, given away or just packed off to the basement, about 50% of our baby stuff, given by well meaning relatives- all the shiny, sparkly coloured, lights and bells baby items, I was sure the baby would love.But the babybjorn bouncer remains, still a favourite resting spot of my daughter.PS: We haven't bought the toy yet, despite my predictions she hasn't been bored or frustrated with just sitting and softly bouncing away the days.My wife's smugness persists as she regales me with tales of using her chair forever and then sitting her dolls on the chair as a young child.I think I'm going to get the toy either way, I've given up on logic, I don't see what's special about it, but the baby obviously does.It may not work for your baby (even though, after seeing it on my own baby and reading the reviews, I'm not actually sure there is even one baby for which the bouncer doesn't work) but it certainly works for mine.
