BabyBjörn weaves magic with a new colourway and fabric: Baby Carrier Harmony review

Baby Carrier Harmony is a comfortable and versatile baby carrier, crafted with care in every detail. The baby carrier has a wide seat area and adjustable head support, and it is made of cool mesh with soft jersey details. A waist belt, padded back support, and padded shoulder straps provide comfort for the baby-wearer. Suitable from newborn up to 36 months (3.2-15kg), it's acknowledged as a hip-healthy product by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.

This iconic carrier now boasts a new colourway, Woven Mélange, in a comfortable, durable and sustainably-conscious fabric.

The cloud-like soft fabric is designed to be kinder to baby's skin, wicking away perspiration to keep them (and the wearer) cooler and cosier. It's also stain-resistant, which is invaluable when it comes to the inevitable spit-ups and leaks it'll have to deal with. The new fabric is available in Light Grey and Light Pink.

Testing the BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Harmony

A BabyBjörn Baby Carrier was on my list for so long after hearing countless good reviews about them. I’ve tried and tested the 3D mesh Harmony carrier in the most beautiful shade of cream – and I absolutely love it.

My baby isn’t here just yet, so I’ve been trying out will a doll, I want to get used to putting them in and taking them out before I try it out for real. When I placed the doll inside, it felt even more secure than when I just had it belted up in all of the right places. It might sound weird, given it was a doll, but filling the space felt exactly right, and the weight ratio was perfect. From the belly band around my waist to the compartment for the little one’s legs to poke through, every inch served a purpose, and the purpose was safety. Just like a seatbelt, the straps can be tightened or loosened where needed and if required, the straps can be connected on and off with the simple click of a button.

The only thing that had originally put me off the carrier was the price tag. When there are so many options on the market, of course you find yourself wondering if it’s worth it to splash out on the extra cash. There are more expensive options available too, but the BabyBjörn carrier is one of the higher priced options. However, with a breathable mesh fabric, three-year use and the incredible back support, it’s got my vote.

When the baby is in the carrier, it feels completely fitting and balances it out in all the right areas. But for me right now, as a pregnant woman, in or out the tight-fitting back support is incredible – I might not take it off! With a little extra weight in, it actually relieves some of my back pain and doesn’t dig in anywhere, despite the multiple straps, and comfort is key.

As for the size, it’s perfect for all ages. It is advised that this product will last until around the age of three-years-old, which is fantastic. It can also be used for both front and back, so the size of it makes complete sense as it’ll grow with our baby. But even without that, there’s not too much excess fabric and the only thing in “excess” are the straps, which can sometimes make it more challenging to do up as there’s so much to pull, but that just means it’s more accessible for all body types. I have always been on the smaller end, and there is so much room to be able to adjust the straps for everyone to use.

Final verdict

One thing I love about this product is how easy it is to take on and off. With straps and buckles I can take it off overhead or simply from one side, meaning I can baby wear to a destination, take baby out and easily take the carrier off, even if it’s going back on in another 20 minutes. I’ve always been concerned about using a sling – what if I didn’t do it up tight enough? will I ever be able to leave the house wearing a normal top again?... But this is perfect! Both for ease and for vanity. The fact that it’s available in a range of colours is the icing on the cake, I love my creams, so being able to get something that will match so many outfits has made it all the better. Don’t worry, if you like cream too this carrier can just be thrown in the washing machine, so it’s safe from (most) accidents.
