BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Air - Gray/White

The BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Air has many of the features that make their other designs so popular, like an adjustable, built-in head support for newborns, padded shoulder straps for distributing baby's weight, and machine-washable fabric. But this version is meant to be used for short periods (there is no lumbar support as with the BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Active) and in warmer temperatures, as the flexible mesh material effectively wicks moisture and heat away from parent and baby.

When infants face outward, the built-in head support for newborns folds down in front.

An important point to take into consideration is whether or not anyone who wil be wearing the carrier requires more back support, or if wearers will be using the carrier for extended periods of time. While the Carrier Air is comfortable enough, the Carrier Original and Carrier Active both offer better lumbar and shoulder support. One of those may be a better choice for active parents or longer hauls.

Padded shoulder straps distribute weight evenly to minimize strain on the back, neck, and shoulders.
