BABYBJORN Baby Carrier One - Silver, Mesh

After extensive research (and I seriously mean it when I say extensive) I finally decided on this carrier, and I'm very happy with my decision! This carrier is excellent and excellent quality. We purchased this to use for our 6 week old daughter. We also have a two year old so I was in great need of having both hands, and arms, free to wrangle him. This carrier is extremely user friendly, easy to get on and off, and everything adjust very smoothly, even while you have it on with baby in it. I read a few reviews saying that there baby sat way to low in the carrier, even in the newborn setting. I'm not sure why they had that problem because I certainly did not and I can't see how you possibly could have that problem with this carrier. My daughter sits perfectly in it (I am able to kiss her head, which is recommended) and she is very secure and comfortable. and there is no head wobbling or getting crunched up. My favorite part is definitely the fact that the front completely comes undone allowing you to take out a sleeping baby with extreme ease! No tugging on a stuck baby or getting one leg stuck in there. A carrier we had in the past my son would get stuck every time we tried to get him out, my husband would have to hold the bottom of the carrier while I pulled my son on out, so annoying. This carrier definitely doesn't have that problem. Everything about this carrier is functional! I really like the way it's designed to go on as well. it's So simple, you don't have to worry about trying to buckle anything behind your back, which to me is just crazy! The material is a very soft canvas material which I really like, and I haven't had a problem with me or my daughter overheating while she is in it and we live in a very warm climate & I am one that is usually always hot. My husband also really loves this carrier. He absolutely did not think it would be worth spending that much $ but once he used it (just once) he told me he was wrong and that it was definitely money well spent! And my hubby does not like spending money. Not sure if this info helps but I am 5'6" and 165lbs and I have no problems with getting this carrier adjusted, it fits beautifully, it is just so perfect. And my husband is 5'10" and 185 lbs and he says the same about how it fits. So hopefully this review helps those of you like me that read review after review trying to find the perfect product. I highly recommend!

I purchased the One Mesh in Silver/Silver. The light color and mesh features were perfect for the Florida weather, especially in the summer months (my son was born in August). I found the mesh was a little rough on baby's skin (my son's cheeks would rub against the straps). I was able to remedy this issue by covering the straps with teething pads made of cotton. I used this carrier from birth until 1 year. It was a great carrier for when my son was a newborn and a infant facing inward. Once I turn my son around to face forward, I found the front flap would always flip up and hit him in the face (maybe, it's a flaw more common the mesh carrier). Regardless, wearing baby facing in or out was comfortable for me and easy to put on.

After much research, I bought this carrier because it fit all of my needs and the product I received definitely lived up to my expectations. The carrier fits both me and my husband really well (whether or not he'll actually carry the baby in it remains to be determined haha). We're both bigger people, so this was a big concern for me with some of the other carriers I looked into. (My friend had given me a cheap one she got at Target and it definitely didn't fit very well!) The straps also seem well placed to support your back, which is great because I tend to have a lot of pain in my back already from other things that I do.It's also quite easy to get the baby into unassisted, which is really important for me because I'm usually taking our little guy out solo so having a carrier where you'd need help attaching buckles or adjusting straps wasn't going to work. My son is only 3 months old, so I've only ever used it on the infant setting, but I like knowing that it'll accommodate him as he gets much older and bigger too and that I'll still be able to put him in myself when that happens. (It's also nice that you don't need an infant insert!)It feels pretty breathable due to the mesh fabric (which was why I chose this particular model). It is still the winter though, so I'll have to wait until the summer to fully evaluate that one. I will say that I carried him around the grocery store in the carrier the other day for like an hour while wearing a sweater and didn't get too warm.Lastly, (and most importantly) my little guy loves it! For all of these reasons I think this carrier is a great purchase despite the higher price tag.
