The 12 Best Baby Carriers and Baby Slings of 2023, According to Parents

BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Mini ($100)

The much-beloved Björn mini takes most parent-child pairs from birth to 12 months, and with over 3,500 five-star reviews on Amazon, a common theme is that it's so easy to use — making it perfect for people who are on the fence about babywearing. The buckles and straps are a cinch to adjust, so it's a breeze to put the baby in the carrier and go about your business. The materials are soft and machine washable. This reviewer about sums it up, saying: "The [Babybjörn] carrier is so easy to use and it doesn't hurt your back. My baby loves it and she fits great in it! Highly recommend! Definitely worth the hype!"

But worth noting: one of the few complaints from previous reviewers is that the $100 price tag is a bit high for something that only lasts a year.
