My son is a big baby. No, I don’t mean he whines a lot, I mean he is physically big. In fact, most people think he is older than his actual age. After 9 months of carrying him you would think my arms would be nicely toned and sculpted! Seriously though, carrying him has put added strain on my back and arms. That is one of the reasons I love to use baby carriers. Besides having both hands free to get a few things done around the house, I am able to carry my son without back, neck and arm strain.

Having said that, not all carriers are made equally. The BabyBjorn Synergy offers some great features:

1. The mesh fabric offers breatheability. When you wear your baby, heat can be a real issue as both you and your child pick up each other’s body heat. This carrier actually feels cool instead of feeling like another heat source. The mesh fabric also helps to keep the carrier lightweight. Plus, BabyBjorn textiles that come into close contact with baby’s skin are Oeko-Tex Class 1certified (making sure that these textiles do not contain harmful levels of chemicals and toxins).

2. The carrier is easily adjusted. A 3rd party is not required to put this carrier on or take it off, or to adjust it! I really appreciate this feature, because most of the time when I use the carrier, it’s just my son and me. With the synergy, this is not a problem – I can easily get him in and out of the carrier with no real strain on my part.

3. The carrier grows with my son! The front of the carrier has a sliding buckle that can be adjusted to grow with your child. No need to buy a new carrier just because your baby is growing – simply make the adjustment. (holds babies from 8lbs to 26lbs)

4. My back doesn’t hurt when I carry my son! The Synergy has a sturdy lower back support and wide shoulder straps, so my back is not aching after carrying my son – and I’ve worn the carrier for hours at a time with no problems.

5. The traveling family will appreciate the portability of this carrier. With luggage, strollers, and diaper bags to maneuver through the airport, how will you manage to carry your little one too? Bring along the BabyBjorn Synergy.

As I mentioned before, the carrier is easy to put on and take off (for those times you need to walk through security). Plus, the carrier has an inside pocket that will hold the entire carrier!

6. My son is comfortable in the carrier. What I love most about carriers is the closeness I have with my son while carrying him. He is very content in this carrier and often falls asleep. In fact some of his longest naps have taken place in this carrier!

Finally, it’s great to know that all models of BabyBjorn Baby Carriers have been endorsed by Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital as the ideal carrier for babywearing, promoting the infant-parent bond and keeping the baby in a physiologically correct position.

Congratulations to BabyBjorn for a practical, travel-friendly carrier!

The BabyBjorn Synergy is a Jet With Kids Approved! product.
