Baby Bjorn has been in the spotlight since 1973 when their first baby carrier was designed. It was developed in order to enhance the relationship between parent and child. Focused on maximizing closeness and comfort, Bjorn has continued to wow parents with their ground-breaking designs. They currently feature several types of Baby Bjorn carriers in their lineup.
How are they similar? All types of Baby Bjorn carriers feature front clips. These allow you to remove your child without disturbing them, so no need to wake a sleeping little one! Also, they are all made out of safe, non-toxic materials and come in cotton or mesh. While there are similarities between each of Bjorn’s carriers, there are a few differences that may help in choosing the perfect carrier for you and your family!
