My first carrier was a used Baby Bjorn baby carrier that was given to me as a hand me down. I love it because I felt that my baby was always close to me. An added bonus was that I could easily wear it under my coat or sweater and with the opening I could breastfeed her and still shop or whatever else I needed to do.
Another plus is I have a bad back and this highly rated baby carrier helps to to ease the pressure of the baby's weight on my back. I would love to win a new one because although it still works great, my used Baby Bjorn baby carrier is beginning to show wear after many trips through the wash.

Over the years, I’ve helped thousands of parents choose safe, stylish nursery furniture through hands-on reviews and real-world testing.
