Product Description
Keep comfort close at hand with Baby Bjorn's lightweight mesh carrier.
Amazon.com Review
Having spent nearly the last five decades innovating ideas for infants and toddlers, BabyBjoern is consistently tweaking their products to meet parents' high standards of quality, functionality, and safety. So it's no surprise that they finally designed one of their famous carriers specifically for hot climates. The BabyBjoern Baby Carrier Air has many of the features that make their other designs so popular, like an adjustable, built-in head support for newborns, padded shoulder straps for distributing baby's weight, and machine-washable fabric. But this version is meant to be used for short periods (there is no lumbar support as with the BabyBjoern Baby Carrier Active) and in warmer temperatures, as the flexible mesh material effectively wicks moisture and heat away from parent and baby.  | | When infants face outward, the built-in head support for newborns folds down in front. |
An important point to take into consideration is whether or not anyone who wil be wearing the carrier requires more back support, or if wearers will be using the carrier for extended periods of time. While the Carrier Air is comfortable enough, the Carrier Original and Carrier Active both offer better lumbar and shoulder support. One of those may be a better choice for active parents or longer hauls.

Breathability For Airy Comfort
Designed for use with babies weighing at least eight pounds and measuring 21 inches, with a maximum weight of 22 pounds, it's ideal for a wide variety of short-term activities, like doing chores around the house, or taking baby on a brief walk or excursion. The BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Air helps you keep cool as the temperature heats up, thanks to its innovative construction. Made from a truly breathable 3D mesh fabric that efficiently wicks away both heat and moisture from both you and your baby, this carrier provides up to 138 percent better heat flow and 30 percent better moisture flow than other models. Flexible and Supportive
Made to be comfortable and supportive for both parents and babies, the BabyBjorn Carrier Air features padded shoulder straps that evenly distribute baby's weight to help minimize strain on mom or dad's back, neck and shoulder. Soft and flexible, the carrier also shapes itself to gently conform to baby's body and feels comfortable on baby's face. Additionally, it provides excellent support for your growing child's back and head, and ensures that baby's legs and arms are in a physiologically correct position. And the adjustable, built-in head support is especially ideal for newborns or younger babies who cannot yet hold up their head. Finally, as your child grows, the neck-rest can be folded down so that the child may be carried facing forwards, an option that lets him or her look around and enjoy their surroundings while still safe and secure. Easy-care, Safe Design
Compact and lightweight, the BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Air is easy to store and take with you on excursions. It's also machine washable and dries quickly after washing. Additionally, it's approved in accordance with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1, eco-certification, so you can trust that this carrier safe for baby. For added convenience, the carrier comes with a practical storage bag in a pocket on the inside for space-saving storage when not in use. About BabyBjorn

 Great Carrier October 18, 2008
Jared F. Heddens
Basically this thing is great. I know people have their reservations over this style of carrier, but as a stay at home dad, I love it. My daughter has wanted to face out since she was two months old and you just cant do that with a lot of other carriers. I also love the light weight and breathability of the material. I get over heated easy and any one who has put a baby in one of these knows that they are a little heat machine. I will say that you need a good strong lower back for this carrier as there is only a simple criss-cross over the middle of your back and my wife says it really wears her out.
Overall, I have used many other carriers, including slings and this one is definately my favorite.

The BabyBjorn Baby Carrier is an excellent product. This is our second Babybjorn and highly recommend it. It is an excellent quality product. Our daughter loves to be carried and look around. The Baby bjorn saved my arms.
 The Baby Bjorn Synergy is a better bet August 21, 2008
C. Valerio (CA United States)
We own the Baby Bjorn Active Carrier, and we all love it! However, it is too hot for summer heat, so we opted to purchase this item--the Baby Bjorn Air Carrier. Without the lumbar support, all of the baby's weight is on the shoulders, and my husband could feel a huge difference. We didn't know Baby Bjorn had a new "Air" carrier, the Synergy, until we visited their website. It is made out of the same fabric as this one but is designed like the Active Carrier. So we are returning this one for the Synergy. Your lower back is well-worth the extra money! One less trip to the chiropractor or massage therapist will make up the difference!
Not for heavier babies August 7, 2008
Mabel (New York, NY, USA)
We received the Baby Bjorn Air Carrier from our friends. It was good for the first few months. But as other reviewers have written it is not so great once your baby gets heavier. We had to get the Bjorn Active.
It comes with an attached baggie for you to stuff the Bjorn into. A nice idea, but the rolled up carrier is not much smaller. There is no way you can roll the Bjorn up and stuff it into the bag with one hand. We found it was easier to just put it into the stroller basket or hang it from the stroller handles.
The material feels rough. And it feels flimsy compared to the other Bjorns.

A. Harding
This is a very nice carrier. My 9 lb newborn fits great. It is easy to get on and off. It washes well on gentle cycle. The only thing that could be better is that the material doesn't seem very soft or comfy against the baby's skin. I use a burp cloth to cover the areas were her face press against the material. It is worth the money though.
