Baby Essentials: BabyBjörn Carrier One and Love Manifesto

I can’t believe that our new baby will be here in a matter of weeks, it seems that I shared our baby news yesterday!

In the past few weeks, we have been busy trying to catch up with what has happened in the baby world in the past decade since we had our first child.

I must confess I am very impressed with how it has changed, making the life of parents easier and more convenient. We will be sharing our findings in our new Baby Essentials feature, so you can also take advantage of it.

When little man was around six months old, I borrowed a baby carrier from a cousin and I didn’t find it very comfortable. Maybe it is because little man was a big baby and I found him very heavy to carry. I only tried the baby carrier around the house and gave it back straight away.

I was delighted to find out about the new version of the Baby Carrier One from BabyBjörn, which has been created with comfort and support in mind. It has been made to support baby’s neck, hips and spine perfectly, while allowing parents to be hands free.

At the Love Manifesto event, I had the opportunity to try the Baby Carrier One and was very impressed by how light and fully adjustable it is. It definitely looks very different from the baby carrier I tried nine years ago. The head support is higher, there is less fabric between parents and baby, the padding in the shoulder strap makes it comfortable, while the fabric is more breathable and extra soft.

I can definitely see us having lots of walks and family fun while wearing the baby carrier. Hubby is very excited about it and can’t wait to start using it as soon as the baby is born. The Love Manifesto has been launched to celebrate the new baby carrier, focusing on the love that parents have for their children, by trusting ourselves, creating our own rules and inventing our own parenting.

At the end of the day, parents know very well what is best for the children and we always have our precious little ones in mind. We should trust our own instincts and develop our parenting style according to the needs of our children and family.

BabyBjörn Baby Carrier One (RRP £139.99) is available in black, denim grey/dark grey, classic denim/midnight blue and grey/powder pink. While BabyBjörn Baby Carrier One Air Mesh (RRP £159.99) is available in black, anthracite, navy blue, silver and frost green.

Have you tried a baby carrier before? What are your best parenting tips?

I was under no obligation to write this post, just wanted to share our experience. The opinions expressed in this post are honest and my own.

Oh I love Baby Bjorn and this carrier looks great! I used a carrier with all of mine, wraps while they were tiny though.

My sister recently had a baby and I noticed that everything had changed since I had my daughter almost 13 years ago. It’s crazy all the different things that are around now. I had a carrier like this when my daughter was little and they have one just quite the same too, it was so handy especially when it came to public transport as the pram didn’t need to be dragged around x

I loved our Baby Bjorn carrier when my two were younger – it was so helpful, even for doing things like vacuuming around the house!

Love baby carriers, it was a life saver for us when we were travelling long distance on flight and having a young kid on tow as well. Baby Bjorn has a great selection to choose from.

I definitely think that I’ll use one of these when I have a baby because I’d love the closeness it would bring xxx

Baby carriers make a parent’s life convenient and I think this one’s a lovely product to try. I like that the shoulder straps are extra soft, perfect for walking around all day especially when you’re out on a trip.

So many fab things!! the baby carrier is a great idea, as saves the stress and allows some hands-free action also which would help x

I love Baby Bjorn. We used carriers with all of ours, wraps as newborns and the carriers as they grew.

We’ve heard the Baby Carrier One from BabyBjörn is really good. My mummy loved baby wearing me when I was smaller!

Never had a child and I don’t have any good parenting tips but this carrier looks pretty amazing and I’m sure babies will sleep soundly and safely.

I would have loved one of these when mine were babies. I used wraps with my third child and loved those. There’s so much new stuff out there these days!
