Baby Bjorn: Active vs. Miracle

Has anybody tried both of these carriers and have a preference?  I can't decide which one to register for both.

Neither.  The Bjorn doesn't not support baby correctly, they hang by their crotch which is bad.

Register for an Ergo or Beco.

I agree with PP, avoid Baby Bjorn carriers.  They can be bad for the baby's hips because the design isn't supportive.  They are also really uncomfortable for the wearer and have lower weight limits which means you won't get much use out of it.  They're really overpriced too.  You can get a much better carrier that you will use a lot longer for less money.

I love our Ergo Sport carrier.  DS is 25 lbs. and I could comfortably wear him all day.  It has a high weight limit too so we can use it well past age 2.  Beco and Boba are two other good options.  We used a Moby wrap at first and then switched to the Ergo at 5 months.  I prefer the extra closeness and security of a wrap style carrier for newborns.
