BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Harmony is the pick for couples who will pass one carrier back and forth. BabyBjörn lists a fit for wearers from XS to XXL, and its comparison chart shows the Harmony with a waist belt, padded shoulder straps and back support. The carrier covers four positions: a newborn setting, facing in, facing out from around five months, and back carrying once the baby has turned one. It is rated from 7 to 40 lb and up to 39 inches tall, which BabyBjörn puts at about 3 years. The head support snaps into three positions, and the waist belt sits at the waist for a newborn and moves to the hips as the baby gets heavier. BabyBjörn says all its carriers are acknowledged as hip healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute and backs them with a 10-year guarantee. The main drawback is price: the sale price was $199.99 when we checked, against $249.99 regular. We compared documented features and published prices.
