Before receiving this model, I was already using a baby carrier BabyBjörn but in its classic version (Original). In the version "Active", this baby carrier takes all the strengths of the classic version (front or back porting bearer comfortable for the child, ease of use, washable ...) and provides additional comfort bearer. Indeed, the weight no longer almost exclusively on the shoulders but is better distributed on the upper back with a very useful back protector.
That said, it is also, in my opinion, the major problem with this model: indeed, although this model relieves the back of the wearer, it is still subjected to the test after a moment.
I will not collect all models of this brand especially as it corresponds very well to my needs, but I think if I had to buy a new baby carrier, my choice will carry out another model distributing better the child's weight on both the back and the hips (Miracle models or BabyBjörn Comfort Carrier). Even more comfortable, these models are also bulkier and more expensive. Remains to properly determine what its priorities before choosing his baby carrier!
