Baby carriers come in different types from baby backpacks, slings, pouches, front-pack carriers to baby wraps.

The usual mechanics of using a baby carrier would involve attachments to the parent's hips and shoulders as it supports the baby's total weight.

The baby carrier you should choose should be able to hold up your baby's weight until such time your baby learns to walk.

It is very important to choose a secure and comfortable carrier for both you and your baby.

It is widely accepted that newborn babies need to be close to their parents but you should check that the carrier you choose is suitable for newborn babies.

Even weight distribution is key factor in comfort. A carrier that spreads the weight evenly across your body will provide more support for your back and front.

A one-shoulder carrier may offer flexibility and hands free operation but a front or backpack carrier distributes weight evenly over the body.

Baby carriers can give you a hassle-free way of navigating shops, parks and public transport.

Backpacks are a popular choice for the more active parent and are particularly popular with dads.

If you travel a lot, choose a compact, frameless baby carrier that can be stowed away easily, for example in a diaper bag.

It is also important to consider which adults will be using the baby carrier.

If parents share the baby carrying duties, there could be a problem if both parents are of very different body shapes.

It is very important that the baby carrier be adjustable. Some carriers can adjust to accommodate many different sizes.

My husband and I started out with the regular Bjorn, which hurt our backs after about 30 minutes. Then we tried the Bjorn Active, which made a huge improvement in terms of comfort, but we were unable to wear it in warm California weather because it was so big and bulky. Finally Bjorn figured it out - combine the Air and the Active -and you have the Synergy. I just wish it wasn't so ridiculously expensive ($150 for a mesh carrier mass produced in Latvia, c'mon!), I wish it came in other colors (navy, red, olive, like the Actives), and I wish Bjorn would finally develop waist support so the baby's weight wasn't carried so much on the parent's shoulders and back. But until then, this is a great carrier for newborns to 6 months old, especially if your young baby (like mine) resists slings and froggy-style carries in mei tais.

The Synergy is definitely an improvement over the Original Bjorn and is much lighter than the Bjorn Active. It's not bulky and is as easy to use as the Original Bjorn. I've found that the back support greatly increases how long I can carry my baby as compared to the Original (which I used with my first child). A lot of the baby's weight is still on your shoulders, but the lumbar support does help. I like that the Bjorn lets my 3 month old baby sleep peacefully (facing me) and then when he's awake he can face out and explore the world.

This is an excellent baby carrier and is so comfortable to wear. My daughter loved being carried in it facing me, she'd nap away. Now that she's big enough she loves looking out. The back support is wonderful. I carried her through NYC for hours and never had any trouble with my back or shoulders. Great padding and adjustments. I particularly like that it's so breathable so neither of us get too hot.
