BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Miracle
BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Miracle is the perfect choice for you and your little miracle when you want to carry your child in superior comfort in a variety of ways, for even longer periods of time. The entirely new and adjustable design, with an ergonomic waist belt and back support, allows the baby carrier to be adapted to your needs as your baby develops.
Furthermore, the BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Miracle allows you to grow with your child – from the moment your baby comes into the world as a delicate newborn (minimum 3,5kg or 8lbs) to when he or she is a around 15 months (on average a 12kg or 26lbs baby is somewhere between 15 to 18 months). By this time, many children are walking. The design, which includes the ergonomic waist belt, means that it can comfortably carry a 12kg or 26lbs baby for long periods of time with their back supported.
Adjustable design and ergonomic waist belt provides superior comfort
The entirely new and adjustable design, generously padded waist belt, comfortable back support and wide shoulder straps allow flexible carrying in a variety of ways. Easy adjustments made from the front transfer baby’s weight between your waist, hips and shoulders and relieve pressure points as needed.
BabyBjorn recommend that you carry your newborn high up on your chest and your older child lower down, taking the baby’s weight from your shoulders and on to your waist. When the baby is approximately four to five months old and when the neck is strong enough to support the head, you can switch between carrying your child facing you or facing forwards. The new and adjustable design with the ergonomic waist belt allows you to comfortably carry a 12kg or 26lbs baby for long periods of time.
Fits baby perfectly from day one – all the way to approximately 15 months
BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Miracle is designed to fit your newborn from day one (minimum 3,5kg or 8bls) all the way to approximately 15 months (maximum 12kg or 26lbs) without the need for an extra insert. We recommend carrying your newborn close to your heart - high up on your chest and facing you – providing essential closeness while at the same time allowing supervision of your baby’s breathing.
The Best of Both Worlds
Once your child’s neck is strong enough to support their head and he or she is ready to meet the world, you can carry your child facing forward – in secure contact with you all the time. Meeting an exciting world with their back resting safely against Mum or Dad’s chest is a great source of delight for most little ones. Quite simply the best of both worlds!
Age: From newborn (at least 8 lbs/3.5 kg) up to 26 lbs/12 kg.
Safety: BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Miracle meets the safety requirements of EN 13209-2:2005. The textiles closest to the child have been tested and approved in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1 for baby products. These are guaranteed harmless to children’s sensitive skin and will not trigger allergies.
Product care: Machine wash, warm (40°C). Wash separately with a gentle, bleach-free detergent.

The quality of the clasps makes a tremendous difference to safety, because the less time required to fiddle with getting the clips done up, the less chance there is of the baby falling out. There may also be less screaming! These clasps are all very well designed and can be opened and closed one-handed, without risk of pinched fingers.
When first trying the carrier out, the step-by-step instructions are a little confusing - drawings with lots of numbered parts and arrows are a little daunting - but once you get the hang of it, it is very straightforward.
A key adjustment is a slider to set the height of the baby. A fabric height guide is sewn into the carrier making it very easy to know where to set the slider. The carrier accommodates a wide range of heights and weights, from newborn until around 15 months. The height-adjustment slider is (intentionally) very stiff, but this shouldn't be too troublesome to most parents, who will only change it occasionally as the baby grows. As a parent of differently-sized twins, however, it would be nice to be able to change the height setting a little more easily!
Both of my babies very much enjoy being in this carrier. At 7 months old, they prefer facing outward. The lack of any dribble cloth, however, means the carrier does get a bit soggy as they drool at the world around them!
I'm not sure the babies really notice much difference over a cheaper model, but my back and shoulders certainly do! The waist band has sufficient rigidity to transfer a lot of the weight away from the shoulders. A minor niggle is that I would have liked to be able to adjust the waist band downwards, so as to sit on my hips rather than my stomach, but this adjustment doesn't seem to be possible. I also found the babies' heads to be quite close to my chin when using the suggested tape-measure settings, but this is easily corrected for and probably depends on the child's proportions.
My wife and I use carriers for country walks, but I am aware that some parents like to carry a baby around all day. If this is you, then it would certainly be worth investing in a really comfortable carrier such as this one.
Highly recommended.
I've used a miracle carrier for the last 6 months (I'm a childminder) in the black/grey liner colourway. I think this colourway is more practical with the brown hiding baby drool - often I end up with a wet tide mark with baby facing outwards dribbling on the pale carrier rim, even with a bib. I would advise the black or brown colourway ones as the best option.
I can wear the carrier almost continually all day with babies up until about 7 months (I am a weakling) and with older babies up to about a year I can wear it comfortably for about 15-20 mins. Ideal for having your hands free to catch older children on park climbing frames. I usually take a miracle carrier around with me now just in case one of the 3 under 5s I mind falls over/ gets tired as I'm able to push two little ones in a double buggy while wearing a carrier at the same time.
The optional fabric raincover you can buy is great in drizzle (not rain as it doesn't fit babies heads properly) for babies up to about 6 months. After that you'll really just be fine with your baby wearing a coat as you can only use the raincover with the baby facing inwards and after that stage they'd rather face outwards. If you don't you'll end up with pulled hair and a scratched chest or pulled chest hair and a scratched head. Pain is involved anyway.
I would say a baby carrier is an essential purchase if you have more than one young child allowing you to have both hands free so you can make the most of parks and tumble tots etc.
If you are considering this for a first child then the ability to soothe a fractious baby to sleep, dash out quickly without having to take a pushchair and having your hands free for 15 mins to eat your dinner or do most other tasks you can think of! is invaluable.
Cons I've found:
You can't see your feet which can make going up and down steps/stairs difficult especially if you are holding hands with two other small children at the same time. I wouldn't ever advise doing this without at least one hand free. You will end up throwing yourself backwards on your derriere so not to squash the baby going forwards.
Tide marks/ dribble don't look attractive, are far from hygienic on your baby carrier and may mean it's in the wash lots - I've found the best way to deal with this is for your baby to wear a large bib flopped over the front rather than using the babybjorn one.
If you have a bust, which is not uncommon with a new mum who will have the largest bust of her lifetime the closure slots are hidden underneath your armpits somewhere. It's not quite as easy to put on as the instructional video showing a man implies. However it is easy. If I'm putting the carrier on over a hard surface then I usually ask for the assistance of a third person, or kneel down low as there's a very slight possibility of dropping a heavy, wriggly baby while trying to locate the side slots.
I am now over the moon to have a second carrier so I always have one while the other is in the wash - the outer carry cover washes well.
The organic cotton credentials of this carrier are welcome. I'm not sure how much added comfort a fully clothed infant will appreciate but it's a great interior. There is a quite prominent 'organic' visible label which will be on display near your (hmmm can't think of a word the amazon filters will allow) area but you can always chop it off if you don't want to advertise your organic credentials in what would be your nappy area. Washable nappies with liners are great btw - I've become a recent convert and appreciate all things organic and fairtrade.
The end. I'm waffling.
It's an amazing product with unbelievable back support. Absolutely worthed the money!
