I would never buy a Baby Bjorn again. The carrier is overpriced for what it is. It is, in all effects, a newborn/infant carrier. It’s a LOT of money to lay down for a carrier that you can use for less than a year, and in many cases it is much less than a year.
The carrier also poses some comfort/positioning concerns. For the person wearing the carrier, it just isn’t very supportive. It’s better than older models, but still not comfortable by any means once your baby weighs more than 10 lbs.
The carrier also hangs baby by his/her crotch, which is not good for their hips and spine. There are much better options out there, and most of them cost significantly less than this carrier.

I was so excited to get this in the mail. I slipped it on and put my daughter in…first of all, in the forward position the flap that is folded down reaches right at the baby’s mouth so they are gagging essentially. The major “NO” factor is that my baby’s thighs after literally 5 minutes of use were bright red and I mean painful looking. She was excited to be facing forward but there is no way I am keeping this. Too many things are wrong with this carrier. Skip it!

Serves its purpose. Great for when going grocery shopping. Seems breathable enough, but a bit stiff for my taste. Material is mesh but not as soft as I would have liked. Baby doesn’t seem to mind though. I have an Evenflo Snugli for home use and it is much softer, minus the lumbar straps that Bjorn provides. All in all, am glad I got the top of the line Bjorn, especially since Amazon had it for alot cheaper than store price, free shipping, no tax! I originally bought it from Babys R Us, liked it, but returned it once I saw Amazon sold it for cheaper. I told Babys R Us since they couldn’t match the price, they just lost some money. Ordered it here and am a happy, happy, customer. Good product to own, even better when you can save some money since it is indeed alot more expensive than most!

When my daughter was looking for baby carriers, I really encouraged her to purchase a Baby Bjorn Synergy carrier. The mesh material seemed as if would would allow for good air circulation, and I felt it would be comfortable for the baby and for the person carrying the child. Several of the individual who would be using the carrier are hot-natured, so the lighter, aerated fabric seemed to be a real positive. Further, I liked the fact that one could position an older infant facing outward while still carrying the child on one’s front. Since my daughter was able to work from home, this seemed to be an ideal way for her to keep her baby close while allowing him to have a good view of his world. Additionally, it seemed the outward facing position would help keep him from grabbing her lips or the telephone during teleconferences. As the Synergy is one of the few carriers on the market that allows the baby to face outward, while being carried on the adult’s front side, it seemed to be a fine choice.
Unfortunately, we found that for all its positive features, the Synergy was not everything we expected it to be. The Baby Bjorn Synergy might have worked well if all the adults carrying the baby had had healthy backs. We thought the lumbar support was to have helped in this area. Instead, we found that because of the waist strap, the baby’s weight was concentrated on our lower back instead of resting on our hips as weight would with a good quality backpack. My son-in-law is an avid hiker and even he could not reconfigure the Baby Bjorn so that the weight was distributed more comfortably. Further, our grandson was and is a large child – so using the Baby Bjorn Synergy for more than 30 minutes is out of the question – anyone who did so, even those with healthy backs, had significant back discomfort. Thus, we were unable to use the Synergy for carrying the baby for any length of time. This is quite disappointing as he is interested in seeing the world and loved riding on our front when any of us carried him that way.
Perhaps if we all had healthy backs and a lighter child to carry, the Baby Bjorn Synergy would have received a higher rating. However, the expense of this item is greater than its utility and I cannot give it a higher rating. I would recommend looking at the Beco carrier which has excellent lumbar support and is easily adjustable for multiple users.

My son loves his Bjorn. If he is cranky we can put him in there and it usually calms him down. Plus it allows us to “hold” him and still have our hands free The Synergy provides good back support for extended use.
