It seems like everywhere I go now I see BabyBjorn Carriers on new moms and professional nannies alike. And why not? They’re so clever! My good friend had a baby a few months ago. I had seen so many of BabyBjorn’s products in parks and walking down the street that I thought it would make a neat gift idea. Well she hasn’t stopped thanking me! The straps on the BabyBjorn Carriers are wide and extra padded so they’re comfortable, even on long outings.

But my favorite feature is the flap in the front that folds down so that babies old enough can face outwards and see the world, or turn around and face mommy for a nice mid-day nap. Another great feature about these products is that they cultivate closeness and touch between mom and baby, which makes baby feel happy and secure all day long. Also, she doesn’t look as though she has got on some bulky, ugly, contraption all day. Quite the opposite, the BabyBjorn Active Carrier has a sporty classic look that keeps her from looking like a child’s toy herself.

If there’s one thing I’ve noticed about BabyBjorn is that they always manage to incorporate a certain sense of style into whatever they make. In fact, my friend loved the baby carrier so much that she did a little research of her own and ordered the Babysitter 1-2-3. It’s the perfect seat for baby and its clean and modern design is so stylish I tend to forget it’s a seat for the kids. BabyBjorn also makes a smart toilet trainer that is designed just for little ones and has an adjustable wheel built in to snugly fit any toilet seat. The BabyBjorn carrier was the perfect gift for my friend. So perfect, in fact, that even her husband has no qualms about taking the baby for the day!
