Personally I didnt like this carrier. its probably better suitable for smaller babies. Few of my friends are using babybjorn and loves it. Everyone will make a decision based on their needs, situation and baby :) I think you can better invest money in carrier that will last you for awhile.

my baby grew out of this before she was 3 months old and when I tried to fit her in it after that she wasn't happy I couldn't figure out how to adjust it so she would fit :(

The baby bjorn wasn't a bad product when my daughter was small, but now that she's getting bigger I'm finding that it doesn't distribute the weight properly across my back, resulting in back pain. I probably would recommend either doing a mayan wrap or a britax which comes with a waist strap for more even weight distribution.

My baby bjorn was great when my son was small. Once he hit about 16 lbs it was too uncomfortable to wear him for long periods of time. Also, I disliked that there was no back carry option with this carrier. There were days he wanted to be carried ALL DAY and it was difficult to wash dishes, etc with him on my front. I did like that he could face out though and see the world. I ended up selling it and purchasing a carrier that would allow the back-carrier. Good for small babies, I'd be amazed if anyone could carry one at the manufacturer's max weight (25lbs). If you're gifted one, go with it. If you're buying your own, look at other brands.
