BabyBjorn Comfort Carrier

What is the difference between the BabyBjörn Comfort Carrier and other BabyBjörn Baby Carriers (Original, Active, Air and Synergy)?
BabyBjörn’s existing range of Baby Carriers, Original, Air, Active and Synergy are all designed to offer maximum support from birth and to grow with the baby in the first year.
Comfort Carrier is designed with active parents in mind who want to extend the time carrying their child comfortably in a BabyBjörn and for those who did not purchase a BabyBjörn Baby Carrier in the first months.
Thanks to the weight absorbing combination of waist-belt and padded straps, BabyBjörn Comfort Carrier offers the possibility of comfortably carrying a child up to the age of 2, from 6 to 14kg or 13 – 31 pounds.

Why is BabyBjörn Comfort Carrier recommended from 6kg/13lbs?
Comfort Carrier is a belt carrier, designed to offer maximum comfort when carrying a child up to 2 years. The weight of the child is distributed between the hips and the shoulders, making it to carry a heavier baby for longer periods of time. The Comfort Carrier is also a bit wider than our infant carriers (Original, Active, Air and Synergy) to fit a larger baby.

What is the difference between the normal and wide carrying positions?
The flexible carrying positions – normal and wide leg position – makes it a belt carrier that allows for carrying baby facing inward and forward.

The wide position brings the baby closer to parent’s body when facing inward, which reduces the weight and makes it comfortable to carry the child for longer periods.

The Normal position allows for freedom of movement as well as carrying the child facing forward. The child can be carried comfortably facing forward up to 12kg/26lbs.
