Baby Bjorn

Hi

I know this topic has come up everynow and then....but would love to know if:

1. The Baby Bjorn Active is too hot to use in HK weather?
2. The Baby Bjorn Air will not be supportive enough?


Thanks !!

I used the Active from birth to 12 months when my son was 10kgs.
Never found it a problem during summer.

Loved it, and found the extra back support to be essential.
All the baby's weight is supported through the back support rather than the shoulder straps.

Used the Baby Bjorn active. Fantastic support for the back. Son, Mum and Dad loved it. Used it till he was about 10-11 kgs. Through the hot and sticky months in Hong Kong too.

i agree with spockey and matty. the baby bjorn active was our best buy - we used it til our little girl was 11 months or so. the back support was the best. i would highly recommend this one. its ok even during the summer months.

:agree:

Thanks for all your replies!

Baby Bjorn has also introduced a new carrier called Synergy which combines the mesh part of the Air and the extra back support of the Active.
I'm not sure if it's available in HK yet - it was only launched a month or two ago - I managed to order one from a UK website but I expect the shops here will stock it soon.

Hi Eva08,

So have you started using the Baby Bjorn Synergy and how do you like it so far? Can you please share more info of the UK site with me (such as the link and the shipping fee to HK)?

I know it's available at Mothercare UK but not in their shops here yet. My baby is already 4.5 months old so I'd like to get 1 asap to make the most of it!

Thanks much for sharing!

Cheers,
Beryl

Hi Beryl,

I've not started using the synergy yet as baby is not due until Feb 3rd (actually it's still in its box and I should really start to figure out how it works soon!!)
I bought it from a website called Kiddicare.com - but I just checked the website again and they don't seem to stock it anymore. It's also available on twoleftfeet.co.uk - and they will ship internationally but I don't know how much that would cost (actually I didn't have it delivered as I had some relatives bring it over from the UK when they visited).

Apart from that, there seem to be a few US based websites that stock it also - again not sure about the shipping to HK though...

Thanks for the info, Eva08. Actually my bro lives in London but he's not coming back in the near future, and I believe the shipping cost offered by the shop would be about the same as if my bro post it for me. Anyhow, thanks again for your speedy response and good luck with your delivery!! :gl:
