xp: bjorn - original,active, or miracle?

bjorn - original,active, or miracle?

what do you have and what do you like or not like about it?  or is there something else you like better?  Kohls is having amazing deals, free shipping, and with the kohls cash it makes sense to buy a carrier there. so what do I get?

I would recommend an Ergo or Beco instead. The Bjorn isn't good for baby's spine, hips, or back. Plus, it won't be comfortable for you past the early infant stage.

 This. Even w/ a great deal it isn't worth it. 

 Here is a great deal on an ergo: http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?products_id=725

The Boba is excellent for infant stage and beyond. I highly recommend, way above the Ergo. I have worn the Bjorn, Ergo AND Boba and Boba is my ultimate fav. You can find it on Amazon.com.

I bought the original baby bjorn off Craigslist because it was cheap and I needed a carrier ASAP. It has been a life saver for colicky nights. I can just put lo in there and walk all over the house. It's the only thing that calms him.

I am keeping an eye out for a good deal on a Boba for when he is bigger.

I opted against the Ergo because I would have had to buy an infant insert for what I got the Bjorn used for. Plus I wouldn't like wondering if it was a real or fake.

If say if its a good deal, I'd get it. You can always sell it later on.

I recently bought the miracle one.  I love it!  Everyone always says that the bjorn carriers are bad for hips,spine blah blah blah. People need to read up on it. Lol  I love the bjorn in that the baby can face outward.  Plus it has extra back support. The other don't. Buy away!
