I brought this thing into the bathroom every single time I needed to pee, shower, or exist as a human for more than 30 seconds. It was my move. Hands free, baby happy, phantom cries silenced because I could literally see him right there.
I loved it. I would also never pay full price for it.
Here’s the thing nobody mentions: BabyBjorn markets this as a seat your kid will use until they’re three. They will not. Yours will love it for the newborn months, maybe use it sporadically after that, and it’ll be in a closet by their first birthday. Which is fine — those newborn months are exactly when you need it most. But $200+ for something with a six-month shelf life? Find a friend who’s done with theirs. Check Facebook Marketplace. They’re everywhere because — see above — everyone’s kid outgrew it.
That said, it is an excellent item to put on your registry. Let someone else buy it for you. And then when you’re done? You get to be the friend who gifts it to the next person. Circle of life.
