While both are fantastic choices, the Ergobaby baby carrier is my top choice since it is a little bigger and versatile for larger babies who are 4-years.
I love the lumbar support that equally spreads the baby’s weight and prevents the back and shoulders from straining. My favorite part about this carrier is the hood for privacy when you want to breastfeed on the go. The baby hood will also shield your baby from wind and solar rays when it’s hot.
When we look at price, Ergobaby is a bit pricier than Baby Bjorn. But it does have the advantage of a large storage pocket that can be removed when it’s unnecessary.
I recommend Baby Bjorn baby carrier for newborns and infants. However, you may need to switch to a more sophisticated carrier like Ergobaby for good support to prevent the risk of back pain.
The best part about Baby Bjorn when compared to Ergobaby is the adjustable head support that’s slightly higher to support the fragile neck when the baby is asleep. The flap can fold down when it’s not in use.
A huge advantage about Baby Bjorn over Ergobaby is the super breathable mesh fabric that prevents the baby from sweating on hot days. I suggest you pick Baby Bjorn for humid, hot or summer weather since it does a much better job at allowing circulation of air when it’s really hot.
If you’re looking for a basic baby carrier with simplest design, I recommend Baby Bjorn but Ergobaby if you’re looking for ultimate comfort and longevity.
