My first Babybjorn Carrier was probably one of the first ones made. It had snaps to hold your baby in and was nice, but simple.

Our new carrier, The Babybjorn Baby Carrier Synergy is anything but simple. It features an adjustable back panel that provides maximum support for the lower back and lightweight 3D mesh material.

Gone are the hard-to-close snaps and in their place; a pair of color coded clips that lock into place to keep your baby safe and secure.

I love this carrier’s ability to fit both my husband and I perfectly. Every part of it is adjustable so that both parent and baby are comfy. The head support is padded and adjustable to provide proper support for our baby’s head and neck. When he gets older we can fold it down to allow him to face forward.

The soft, breathable material makes the Baby Carrier Synergy perfect because it reduces heat and moisture.

The back panel is a big plus. The added support is great for long walks or a full day of traveling.

Best of all, the whole thing fits nicely into a storage pouch that is attached inside the carrier.

The Magazine asked parents to name the products that they can’t live without.

I agree with some of these products, but scratch my head about others…

Here are this year’s winners:

1. Boppy
2. Fisher-Price Swings
3. Johnson’s Bedtime Line
4. Desitin Diaper cream
5. Fisher-Price Jumperoo
6. Fisher-Price Bouncer
7. Boudreaux’s Butt Paste
8. Playtex Diaper Genie
9. Dr. Brown’s Bottles
10. Bumbo Seat

Honourable mention

1. Medela Pump in Style
2. Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier
3. A&D Diaper Cream
4. Balmex Diaper Cream
5. Baby Einstein DVDs

Personally, the Medela pump, the Bjorn Carrier and the Baby Einstein DVDs series would be part of my top 10. These three products collectively saved my sanity with Baby #1.

I am completely in LOVE with Fisher-Price’s infant products. The swing and bouncer pictured up top are also two of my favorite baby products. No one makes a swing like Fisher-Price. The Little Lamb Cradle Swing is fit for Royalty.

The popular baby carrier has many new styles on the horizon including some great new patterns and styles.

Bjorn ‘Star’ was made popular by Ellen during this years Oscars. She famously carried the Oscar in the pouch like a baby.

The Star Bjorn features a glossy, black satin with reflecting silver stripes. The inside is made of soft cotton that is gentle on baby’s skin.

I like that the German company has created a product that can be worn on a night out. I don’t believe that anyone would wear this carrier with a ball gown, but it could accompany your little black dress or that a sharp suit.

Baby Bjorn Original Carrier now available in Brown and Silver. The company has been branching out with new colours and patterns.

The classic carrier now is being offered in a chocolate brown and a silver grey. While I think they both look good, it would have been nice for Bjorn to go to the next level and mix brown with pink or blue. A pattern on the inside that matched this colour pairing would have been a great idea as well.

Baby Bjorn Carrier ‘Synergy’ is a blend of two of Bjorns popular carriers. It offers the comfortable back support of the Bjorn ‘active’ carrier and light, breathable 3D mesh material of the Bjorn Carrier ‘Air’.

It has an upgraded lumbar support to help alleviate lower back issues when carrying your child for extended periods of time.

This carrier has a sporty feel to me. The mesh reminds me of a pair of men’s track shorts. I like that they have beefed up the back support, I just wish they would make that a standard feature on all of their carriers.

The company has also introduced pink versions of their potty, safe step and eating utensils.

Wyatt Crow does not look happy at the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago, Saturday. He is being held in a Baby Bjorn Sport Carrier wearing a set of headphones to protect his delicate ear drums.

While the music may be good, he seems to not be fond of the gear attached to his head and that soother his nanny is stuffing in his mouth is NOT helping.

The Baby Bjorn has held the crown for some time as #1 baby carrier. Some companies have tried to duplicate the simplicity and stylish look of the Bjorn, but have not had success in reducing the carrier’s popularity.

The Red Castle Sport could possibly become the next “must have” baby carrier. Not only does it have a good range of colours, but this carrier caters to your babies changing preferences. Unlike it’s competition, the ’sport’ has 3 carrying positions and a privacy hood for breast feeding.

The Red Castle Sport Baby Carrier a one-of-a-kind kid carrier that easily adapts to your movements, providing multiple positioning possibilities so you can carry your baby in comfort. Thanks to this baby carrier’s unique sliding pouch and adjustable straps, you can carry your little one in positions ranging from in the middle to off-center or on your hip. One of the best features of the Red Castle Sport Baby Carrier is that you can safely reposition the unique ‘seat’ without having to remove your child.

The secure buckle fastenings of the Red Castle Sport add a measure of safety, as does the hip carrying position because your view isn’t obstructed. The Sport Baby Carrier also has one of the highest weight limits for a front position child carrier. It is capable of holding infants and growing babies up to 26.5 lbs.

Red Castle’s Sport Baby Carrier is comfortable for parents and children alike. The headrest is adjustable and detachable, and the mesh lining helps keep you and baby cool on those warm days. The waist size adjusts from 25 to 50”, accommodating everyone from slim mothers to hefty fathers.
