One of our reviewers is having a second baby and is writing review articles about “What the essential Are”. Drawing from the first baby experience, here are her reviews of various baby carriers.
Thoughtfully Designed for Newborn Comfort Baby Bjorn Mini
The Baby Bjorn Mini carrier is a beautifully designed, newborn-friendly carrier that truly shines in those early weeks and months. Incredibly soft and lightweight, it’s made with delicate newborns in mind, offering a cozy, snug fit that gently hugs your baby’s tiny frame. The jersey fabric feels luxurious against the skin and provides a soothing, womb-like environment that helps little ones feel safe and secure.
One of the standout features of the Mini is its simplicity. All the fastenings are located at the front, making it exceptionally user-friendly—especially for new parents or those with limited mobility.
It’s ideal for babies starting from 3.2kg, and most full-term newborns will be able to use it right from birth. The Mini offers two carrying positions: front inward-facing and front outward-facing. While the forward-facing position may not be suitable until around 4 months, this feature is a thoughtful addition for those eager to share the world with their baby once they’re ready.
Overall, the Baby Bjorn Mini is a fantastic choice for newborns, offering softness, simplicity, and comfort during those precious early stages. It’s a perfect first carrier for bonding closely with your baby during those magical first months. £104.90
