I highly recommend the baby Bjorn active carrier it is very comfortable. First I purchased the jeep model because it was much cheaper, but after a trip around the block with my 8 lbs, one month old baby, I realized that I need a back support- I felt pregnant again. Thus, I ordered the baby Bjorn model and what a difference, I can do so much more around the house, I also use it outside like going on a hike or shopping. It is much easier than caring a car seat everywhere. In addition, when I place my baby facing me he falls right back to sleep in it. He seems to be very secure in it - just like when he was in the womb. My baby is now three months old and he is at the stage where he gets to see the rest of the world in the carrier. He is very quiet every time I place him in it. from my own experience the baby Bjorn active carrier is the best help I could get around the house - and its well worth its price.
