Q´s and A´s

Here are the ten most frequently asked questions we receive. These and other questions can be found here in our Q and A section. If you can’t find the answer to your question, please feel free to contact us.

1. How long can I carry my child in the baby carrier each time?

You can carry your child in the baby carrier for as long as he/she is content there. However, small children should not be motionless in the same position for long periods of time. That's why we recommend that you always pay close attention to your child’s needs and switch between the baby carrier and, for example, a baby sitter, stroller or crib.

2. When can I start carrying my child facing forward in the baby carrier?

After consulting the pediatricians we work with, we recommend that you carry your child facing you in the baby carrier until he/she is around 4 months – or until the child’s neck muscles are strong enough to hold up his/her head.

3. What are the measurements of the BABYBJÖRN Travel Crib Light and what does it weigh?
