BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original

You can benefit from using BABYBJÖRN Baby Carriers starting from when your child is a newborn, as long as he/she weighs at least 3.5 kg/8 lbs.

The head support on BABYBJÖRN Baby Carriers should be used until the child’s neck muscles are strong enough to hold up his/her head. You adjust the head support by tightening or loosening the short bands on each side of the top of the baby carrier. Make sure there is enough room around your child’s head to allow the free passage of air. 

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.

To ensure maximum comfort for both baby and the person carrying him/her, keep these helpful hints in mind:

1. Begin by adjusting the baby carrier to the child’s size (length and weight). Follow the size instructions on the inside of the baby carrier to find the correct position for the sliding buckle. 

2. Fit the baby carrier’s adjustable straps (2 on each side) to your body size.

3. The baby carrier’s back cross should be in line with the bottom of your shoulder blades.

4. When your child is in the baby carrier, carry him/her high enough for you to easily kiss the child’s head.

Yes. All the fabrics in our baby carriers are tested and certified in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1. for baby products, the class that has the most rigorous requirements. The Oeko-Text label means that all the fabrics are free from health-hazardous substances and allergens.

A lot of children suck and drool on the baby carrier when they are carried facing forward. To avoid having to wash the baby carrier too often, it’s a good idea to use a BABYBJÖRN Bib for Baby Carrier. Naturally, this is also certified in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1.

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.

The BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original should be washed separately, warm (40°C). We recommend using a gentle, bleach-free detergent. Do not tumble dry.

The leg straps should be used when your child weighs between 3,5 kg/7.7 lbs and 4.5 kg/9.9 lbs.

Yes! It’s fine for your child to sleep in a BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier. In the baby carrier, your child gets the closeness and warmth he/she needs to fall asleep feeling safe. 

BABYBJÖRN Baby Carriers provide good support for the child’s back and neck, so you can carry your sleeping child for as long as he/she is satisfied. However, small children should not remain in the same position for extended periods. 

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.

Since the baby carrier’s front piece is completely detachable, you can easily put your sleeping child down without waking him or her.

All BABYBJÖRN Baby Carriers can be adjusted to the growing child. On the inside of the lower part of the baby carrier’s front piece, there are size instructions and an adjustable buckle. Set the buckle to your child’s height.
