The classic BABYBJORN® Baby Carrier Original makes it easy to keep your baby close and secure while you go about your daily activities. Developed with the help of both parents and medical experts, the BABYBJORN® Baby Carrier Original helps position the baby comfortably and at the same time provides the proper support for the infant’s spine and hips.

Notice it says that MEDICAL EXPERTS helped design the carrier and that the carrier provides PROPER SUPPORT for the infant’s SPINE and HIPS.

There’s research to support savanna’s points as well. Ergo carriers (and others) place the baby in a natural seated position, while some parents have concerns about stressing the baby’s spine because in a Bjorn they are not seated in the carrier — their crotch/spine is where the weight is focused. Of course, any amount of babywearing is great, but some parents have definite concerns about using a Bjorn for their children due to the positioning. You can read more here.

that kind of carrier IS bad for the child’s hips. it doesn’t support the natural way that their legs should be held (meaning knees on the level of the bottom, in a 90°angle and NOT hanging).

about being happy: kids are more than happy if they get sugar, chocolate and other stuff… but it’s unhealthy, too. little kids don’t know what is good or bad for them… that’s why it is important to inform yourself about kid’s anatomy, before you put your baby into a carrier…

I just think it is sad that celebs carry their kids in bad carriers and people don’t get informed before they buy that stuff because the people on TV buy those carriers too and they are hip and trendy etc… Baby Bjorn is one of the worst carriers available. better carriers are marsupi plus oder the ergo baby carrier, they keep the baby’s leg in a good, healthy position. google them and you will see the clear difference.

Savanna, why would Marcia and Tom (keep in mind that he is carrying one of the babies as well) be ruining the babies’ hips with those carriers? I have seen plenty of parents carrying their babies in similar carriers (the Baby B’jorn seems to be one of the most popular), and none of those babies appeared to be unhappy in the carrier. In fact, they seemed quite content!

poor kids, I hope she’s not ruining their hips with those carriers

The FIRST public outting with their daughters? I am very confused! I am postivie I saw a post here on CBB not too long ago with pictures of Marcia out with the girls!

Those photos were taken after these ones were. These pics are from last month.
