This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BABYBJÖRN’s Baby Carrier One.
I know it’s a universal baby thing, but Roman loves to be held. My daughter was the same way, and I bet your littles are too! I started babywearing about 3 years ago with my daughter, and I’ve tried a lot of different types of carriers and wraps. If you follow my social media, you’ve seen it all! I just got the opportunity to try out the new BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier One, and I was really excited to see what changes BABYBJÖRN has made to their newest design!
First of all – it’s super comfortable. Mostly, I mean for me… both kids always fell asleep in any carrier, and the BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier One is no exception. So clearly, it’s comfortable for Roman too. There is plenty of leg support for your baby in the One, which is a feature that is really important to me. (I also love that we now have a second soft-structured carrier in our household – two parents and two carriers means we can now put two kids in the carrier.) The One can support kids up to 33 lbs, which is about the average weight of a 3 year old, and it also can be worn in a front or a back carry position. I also really like that it’s adjustable without a newborn insert – Roman is right on the cutoff (I have him in the baby/toddler position) – but I’d hate to use a special insert for just a few weeks.
The manual will walk you through how to position your child to safely carry them in the One, and you can also visit the BABYBJÖRN website for more information as well!
My 30-lb daughter STILL loves being in the carrier (she calls it “taking a ride” – and isn’t shy about telling me that her brother’s time is up and it’s her turn now, haha). That may sound really heavy to carry around a 30-lb child, but carriers hold your kids close to your body, and utilize your center of gravity. Your kids feel lighter in the carrier – not only are they easier to walk with when they are close to you, but the carrier supports them hands-free.
The BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier One is well-padded so it doesn’t get uncomfortable – plus it means that when I have Roman in the One, I can still hold my daughter’s hand, carry a shopping bag – whatever else I need to do. (Sometimes that’s just the important stuff like talking about the snow on a gorgeous Michigan day.) ;)
To show you that One is all you need, BABYBJÖRN would also love to let a lucky winner try out the new Baby Carrier One for themselves with an amazing giveaway!
That’s something to get fired up about, right? One winner will be randomly selected to receive a BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier One ARV $199.95 and a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9? Tablet (ARV $379.00).

I totally need one of these!!
I have a little boy due in February. I have a 3 yeat old girl also so I’m betting this could make things a lot easyer because I could hold him and still have use of my hands.
Love it! I would gift this to a deserving new mom!
i would actually be giving the baby carrier to a friend who is pregnant. :-0
My daughter would use with our newest granddaughter, since she holds the older chill’s had this would give her a bit of freedom with the other hand and distribute the weight which would help in the long run.
We are expecting a baby in the spring and would love to be able to try out the BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier!
I had a Bjorn with my first and loved how quickly it was to adjust. This would be me around the house to the library and store carrier.
While my kids are too old for baby carriers (they’re 7 and 9), my five year old nephew would be perfect for this! It’d be useful for babysitting. :)
Great giveaway, Adrianne! I’d love to have one of these for the nieces and nephews whenever they visit. And of course, we’ll be able to put it to use with our own kiddos someday…(not today). ;-)
Would love to gift to a friend!
I would use it for walks.
If Santa brings us what we are asking for Christmas then this would be very useful :)
A great carrier and a Kindle because new mommy is not going to have a lot of time to go out and find entertainment in the brief times she has to get it! Great idea! I know with the first baby I carried baby and walked a lot – this would be perfect!
What a great gift combo! Baby Bjorns have such a great reputation and I’ve heard so much about the kindle fire, It would be awesome to win!!!
My 21 month old son is ginormous! 32 lbs already and just keeps growing. He’s very hard for me to carry since I have back problems, and something like this seems like it would help a lot.
I could use it for walks
I’ve heard great things about the BabyBjorn carriers. I’d love to give it to my niece that will be born in January.
I would use this to babywear my new baby girl that is coming in April!
I have a new baby due in January! Would totally see myself using this for sure!!! :)
The carrier would actually be a gift for my cousin who could use a free pair of hands while still keeping her baby close.
I’m due in April with my first so I’m new to all things baby – but I think a Bjorn would be great.
I’d be using the carrier to help my adopted son attach to me better when he comes home. Just 7 more months!
My friend is having her third baby and her hands will need to be free, so I would give this to her as a gift!
I really want to use this for my 18 month old. I’m due in March and will want to have him on my back and my newborn on my front.
I would use it for my newborn…
I’d use it to carry my almost two year old, who loves to be held and cuddled all the time
I would gift it to my nephew who has a newborn baby girl.
I woul use with my baby on the way due march 2014 :-)
I’d use it for my 21-month old daughter and the baby boy I have on the way!
Awesome giveaway! We’ve been through many a carrier and my child LOVES to be worn. The BB One looks like it’s exactly the solution we need!
I will use the BB One so Much! My Little one loves to be carried! currently using the Ergo and the BB Miracle. the One would be perfect for our family!
I live this and would use it a ton since I will be chasing a 5 year old with a newborn. We had a different carrier I used with my 5 year old but this looks much easier and like that it goes front and back.
omg! would b life saver. a pert of my skin jst like my baby!
I’d use it when I go shopping with my kid!
Hands free would be great!
hi! thanks for the amazing giveaway!
Just want say the babybjorn is awesome
I’d use it when out with my older kids and need my hands free to hold other hands across the street, help on monkey bars, push swings, take out snacks, open car doors, take big siblings to the potty, wash hands, …
I really love Baby Bjorn. I have a n Ergo and would really love a BB One!
I would use the carrier to carry my new baby while I was helping my toddler
Such a cool giveaway of utterly practical items for mamas! (And dads, too!)
I would use it for my daughter who is growing out of our other carrier.
I would love to use this for my second baby due in May. It looks like a cozy and safe way to carry around a newborn while chasing a toddler :)
My 3rd baby is due January 6, 2014, so I’d use it to carry her around!
I would use it to go to the park (come Summer!)
I would use this everyday to carry my 8 month old because she keeps getting into things while I cook or clean. So this would come in handy :)
This would be great for my sister in law and her new baby!
We’d use the One for carrying our January baby while keeping tabs on her toddler big sister.
I would love this carrier as my baby gets older and bigger :-)
This would be great for my baby!
GIVE IT TO MY FRIEND
I would use it with my baby girl almost every day!
I love baby wearing! I would love to try this carrier. I use durning housework, putting and anytime I need a free hand n she wants to be held
This would be ideal for my new arrival. The ONE carrier that will last us years.
I use a wrap currently, but a bjorn would be awfully nice once she gets more head control – she likes looking around!
Adrianne, this carrier is amazing! I wish I would have had one when my guys were little! :)
I would give it to my SIL for Christmas. She just had a beautiful baby boy and could use this! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
I would use it everyday I’m sure, it’s hard to keep up with 2 kids so it would help free up my hands
I would gift it to one of my daughter’s. I have 3 daughters and two just gave birth a month ago.
i would use it during grocery shopping! and any other activities that baby wearing is great for!
Our little one just turned 2 months old and we’ve been talking how we’re going to need a sturdy carrier for this spring we start our family hiking again.
My husband and I are planning to get our family started in 2014, so winning anything to help us stock up for that would be great!
I would love to give this to my life long friend when she has her first baby in February!
My daughter would love getting carried in the Bjorn! Love that you can use it for both babies and toddlers.
Your kids are so cute :) My “baby” is 11 but she totally loved the carrier when she was tiny – we had a Bjorn, too. It was awesome.
I would definitely be giving it to my nephew and his wife for their new baby boy, who was just born on 11/8! It would be an awesome gift! Thanks!
I would give it to my SIL/MIL. My SIL just had a baby and she lives with my MIL I think they could both use this to help them out with carry the new baby all the time. He is a chunky little guy and gets heavy quickly. lol
Well when I have kids I’m sure I would love it to use while getting stuff done around the house!
We are adopting our first child – he’s 3 months old-this would be wonderful!
I would give it to my friend.
It would make a fantastic gift for my sister in law who is expecting in January :)
I’m a nanny of 4, all under the age of 16 months! I can ALWAYS use an extra set of hands!

This will come in handly to me i have two kids ages 3and1 this wll help me alot to do my grocery shopping or doing errans thanks for the oportunity
Wow! This looks awesome!
My sister is having a baby in February. It would be a nice gift.
It’s great to see an updated design of BabyBjorn, I really like using their carriers!
It looks as though the new design has better support for the hips, though.
Hi If you are a keen babywearer, you have probably tried all sorts of carriers. The Bjorn is not the best for hip support. (Wont let me post urls, however, there are many articles available) I see so many mothers with the Bjorn and feel like they need to explore the whole world of babywearing.
Your pictures show Roman facing in, which is great. I haven\’t checked out this new carrier but Bjorn are trying to promote it and therefore will play down any concerns about hip development and overstimulation on their website. There are a lot of options for babywearing, including making your own, it doesn\’t need to be expensive. You can make a wrap carrier from a long length of jersey, or a mei tei with some heavy fabric and a sewing machine. I\’m posting this to inform your readers about other options, it\’s not just the Bjorn!
I want this so bad! I have a snugli that I only use when I ABSOLUTELY have to because I freak out about hip and leg support. I wish I could afford to buy a carrier or wrap!
I would give it to my 19 year old niece who is having her baby soon, so she can carry her baby everywhere she goes!!
I love using baby carriers at the grocery store or any time we will be out in public for long stretches of time. It helps keep baby happy. It will also be great for walking the dogs!
I would use it when I go shopping.
I just want to say, You look great.. From having a second child. amazing! I sure wish they made these carriers back when I had little ones. I love your blog by the way.. I been following you for a long time. I love the jewery you make, and listening to you about your babies.. I miss my own children. Your stories bring me great joy.. Life is so short. Enjoy every minute you have with your family. Nothing in this world can replace that love.
Have a wonderful hoilday!,,,,,
Carolyn
I would use this at the park or when i go to the store
I think I honestly cried the day I simply could not manage to carry my boys around in my Baby Bjorn anymore- it was my favorite, favorite tool when they were small! Great pics you got- your kiddos obviously loved it!
Such a great contest!!
My friend has a new little one. She will love this if I win. And me and my son will go back and forth with the kindle. :)
I would use it to take a baby outside with me.!
As soon as I have a baby I am totally buying this! :)
I am expecting my second child any day now…and my almost 3 year old still loves to be held. This carrier would DEFINITELY make my life easier!
I have twin nieces & my sister is always grateful to have help. I would carry one of them.
I have a new little niece! It would be a perfect Christmas gift for her parents!
I’D use it WITH MY new baby arriving 12-18
I would be gifting this to my dear friend, who has a wee babe of about four months now! She’s definitely a baby-wearer!
I’ll be using it once the baby arrives. I’m sure I’ll need my hands free once in a while :)
I am so glad to see an updated design on the Bjorn. I would love to try one out for helping haul around my twins. I also love Kindles. :)
I am excited to start wearing my baby boy! I tried a few carriers and none have measured up. I have the ergo but I am waiting until he is bigger because right now that carrier is too bulky plus I want one for indoors — the house that is :)
Hope I win!
This would be great! I would use everywhere! And the kindle to keep the 2 year old entertained.
I would use it at the grocery store.
awesome.. this will be great to have.
I have seen many momma’s walking to the food pantry that I volunteer at with their small children. I would absolutely LOVE to give it away to one so desperately in need!
I have a 4 year old I’m constantly running after and a newborn who wants constantly to be held. I’d use this daily!
I have a new baby on the way any day! We would use it to move and groove around town for a long time to come!
I WANT THIS!!
That eould be great for my first grandchild due in april!
Too cute! Your children, that is! And the babybjorn is awesome, too.
