Since his arrival we've tested many slings, but the Baby Bjorn was by far, the easiest to comprehend and get used to. I really adore this carrier.
I walked into the kitchen this afternoon to see my husband sporting the Bjorn (with baby in it) and he looked at me and said..."I have 2 hands free now!" (Something that you definitely don't have after baby arrives) It was actually VERY sweet to see him carrying our little one, and excited about a product.
We immediately went for a walk around our neighbourhood, loving the fact that we could hold hands, and our little one was content (fell asleep RIGHT away) There was no stroller to get set up, we had all of our hands free, and were able to do a little power walk around the neighbourhood.

You see, our little one loves to be carried, I mean, what baby doesn't.
What I love about this carrier is that first of all, my husband wanted to put it on right away. So, although I love it, my husband loves it too - which is awesome, as it lets me have a wee break, but allows, more importantly, some bonding time between the two of them. Any product that is unisex is awesome in my mind and makes it that much more worth the investment.
Secondly I love it because it was so easy to figure out how to use. And I'm saying this as a sleep deprived Mom, that is baffled at the simplest of things these days. And would likely break into tears at any frustration (has happened). So a product that helps me, and is easy, scores some points.
Third reason why I love it was it gave us free hands. We were able to accomplish some things
Getting baby in was REALLY easy, as was getting him out. It was as simple as unbuckling one button and gently getting him out, without waking him.
Fourth reason....I got to kiss the top of his head all the time, something I couldn't do while he was in his stroller. There is something about having him so close to kiss that makes my heart melt.
We're likely going to have a number of different carriers over the next year, but the Baby Bjorn carrier I know will be getting a lot of use, from me, and from my husband. It's VERY much worth the investment. I love it!!
