Manufacturer‘s Description:

"It provides excellent support for your baby's back and head, and guarantees that his/her legs and arms are in a physiologically correct position. When your baby is a little older and has a stronger neck, the neck-rest can be folded down so that the child can face forwards and look around."

"Baby Bjorn carriers are the best front carriers on the market. Often imitated, their simple, comfy, supportive design is time tested and backed by 25 years of development. At the last trade show we attended, the Baby Bjorn Carriers were by far the best. This carrier is designed to carry rear-facing newborns and forward-facing infants. As soon as your baby is 21 inches long and weighs 8 lbs she can ride in the carrier facing you. The carrier provides head and neck support; leg straps reduce the size of leg openings (they should always be used for babies under ten pounds). Once your baby can hold her head up, she is ready to face forward. The carrier will adjust (using a sliding buckle) to fit your child up to 25 lbs (about 2 1/2 years). Suggested modifications based on weight and height are enclosed with the Carrier. You'll be able to manage all of the adjustments by yourself, which helps when it's just you and the kid. Color coded latches simplify putting on and taking off the Original. Also, you can easily move a sleeping child from carrier to crib without disturbing her. The Original's design makes it easy to assemble, adjust, and wear."
