What if you could enjoy the closeness of babywearing for longer — in a way that's comfortable for both you and your little one? You can with the BABYBJÖRN ergonomic Baby Carrier One crafted in a soft cotton blend. The sturdy waist belt and padded shoulder straps relieve pressure on your back and shoulders, and make babywearing possible from newborn and up to the age of three. This BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier One is suitable from newborn to 3 years with four different carrying positions. The design is ergonomic, soft and comfortable and has a fully adjustable size and seat width. Key features: Minimum age front-facing position: 5 months maximum weight front-facing position: 12 kg For children between 3.5-4.5 kg, use the leg straps to tighten the leg openings. 4 front and back carrying positions - Choose whether you want to carry your child facing in (two height positions), facing out or on your back. No infant insert needed - baby carrier one has two height positions. You use the upper height position from newborn (at least 3.5 kg) so your baby is carried in the correct position, close to your face. Your baby should be close enough for you to kiss the top of their head. Ergonomic leg position - Wide, fully adjustable seat width ensures a comfortable and ergonomically correct position for your child's hips. Superior carrying comfort - Luxuriously thick padding in the shoulder straps gives you superior carrying comfort. The sturdy waist belt gives you excellent pressure relief and good carrying ergonomics. Adjustable head support - The head support protects your newborn baby and provides the right support until they have sufficiently strong neck muscles to hold their head up. You can also keep the head support unfolded when your baby is older and is resting or sleeping in the baby carrier. You can easily fold it up or down and adjust the firmness of the support it provides. Carry your toddler on your back - As your child grows heavier, it will be more comfortable for you to carry them in the baby carrier on your back. We recommend that you only start to carry your child on your back after they turn 12 months old, as you will not have the same degree of supervision. With your child in the baby carrier facing inwards, you can easily swivel the whole baby carrier from your front to your back. It's comfortable and you can do it unaided. The design of the baby carrier means your child sits safely and securely while you move them onto your back. Hip-friendly baby carrier - The International Hip Dysplasia Institute has tested baby carrier one and acknowledges it to be “hip-healthy”. This means that the baby carrier provides the correct support to your child's hips and encourages good hip joint development, which is especially important in your child's first months. Child-friendly materials - All our baby carriers are free from harmful substances and approved in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Class I for baby products.
