When my baby was just a few months old, I was hired to do a job that required I travel out of state for a few weeks. My baby was so young and I wasn’t ready to leave her for extended time so she came with! I amazon primed the BABYBJORN Baby Carrier Mini (per J’s recommendation, she used one for her little guy too!) days before I had to leave. It was a lifesaver! I had tried several other baby carriers (mostly wraps and slings) and liked most of them (even loved some!) but only for minimal wear. This job would require I have my hands free and I wanted a carrier that would be safe, comfortable (for the both of us), and super secure so that I could do my job while also doing my favorite job (being a mom). Bonus points for being stylish too! I couldn’t resist the Pearly Pink in Mesh.
This carrier is perfect for those first months with a baby (I used mine up until she was about 6 months! Started inward facing and progressed to outward facing). It’s adjustable to grow with your baby, isn’t cumbersome or bulky, easy to wash, and amazingly easy to transfer a sleeping baby out of (woot woot!). Probably my favorite part was that there was zero learning curve! Unlike so many other carriers that took manuals, practice, and strokes of luck to figure out, the BABYBJORN Baby Carrier Mini felt like home for both baby and me on the first try.
100% would recommend this carrier to any new mama and would 110% recommend it to mamas with other kiddos so they can mother all their babes, hands free!
