Baby bjorn question

mrsNnearly · June 2009

How old do they have to be before you can put them in a bjorn-type carrier? Sometimes Luke just wants to be held close and my family is leaving soon so to get things done around the house I was thinking of trying his infantino carrier soon. He is 3 weeks old now. Is that too young?

No they just have to be facing towards you, the Bjorn has a flap that folds up to support their had. I guess the Infantino is the same.

There is a weight limit on it... I think he needs to be 10lbs? I know it says it on the Bjorn.

Thanks! My carrier is a hand me down so I will try and google it!

With the Bjorn, they just have to be 8lbs. Holly wasn't a fan of it when she was facing me (a lot of babies love it though!), but she loves it now that she can face out. It hurts my back though.... Hmm

I just googled and it says 8 lbs so I should be able to try it anytime. Yay!

We have the Infantino and tried it when Nolan was about 8 pounds and he seemed to be a little lost in there, lol! He wasn't a fan at the time. We've tried it again now that he's put on more weight and he seems to tolerate the carrier a bit better. GL!
