- How to use the BabyBjörn Mini Carrier to carry a baby facing outwards.
This video demonstrates using the BabyBjörn Mini Carrier to carry a baby in a front carry, facing outwards.
BabyBjörn recommend you wait until baby is at least 5 months old before using the carrier for this position. They must have full head control and their chin needs to be clear of the top edge of the carrier.
Baby must always be turned to face inwards for sleep. BabyBjörn recommend this position is used for short periods of time.
The carrier used to demo with is the BabyBjörn Mini in Light Grey - 3D Jersey
BabyBjörn Mini carriers are available to purchase via my website (see below)

Thank you 😊
You're welcome! Glad it was useful :-)
My baby’s legs turned purple from carrying like that..
Sorry to hear this happened to you. You need to ensure baby's weight is on their bottom - with their knees higher than or level with their bottom - so they're 'sat' with their legs coming forwards, rather than with their legs straight down.
If you have a watch of my video you'll see how to get a pelvic tilt, to help position them so their weight is correctly distributed. As I state above, the position is just for short periods of time but I hope that helps if you choose to use your carrier in this position again.
However, there is no developmental reason baby needs to face outwards and you may find they are more comfortable inward facing - with arms either over the top of the carrier or inside. My video here demos how to do this with the Baby Bjorn Mini with arms out: ruclips.net/video/QNX1uZs69aI/видео.htmlsi=PYdk1dMs2sV5FI8M
Hope that helps!
Hello, your video is years old but anyway I hope you will answer me. I've read the manual many times I've checked many videos, but I'm still not sure when I want to adjust the size; WHERE IS THE RIGHT PLACE BE THE NUMBER I NEED ? Is it from the inside where the plastic clip is ?? (0:30-0:42 sec.) ?? Or from the bottom, from the inside of that (let's say) tail? And if it's from the inside of that tail, the number should be where is the plastic clip or where is that plastic line?? Nowhere have I seen a clear answer to such an important detail, I suppose
Hi Olga, Thanks for your question. So the reason no one really mentions the numbers is, unfortunately, they're fairly meaningless as it all depends on how long baby's torso is (not how tall they are overall).
For a newborn, the important thing is that the top edge of the carrier (when folded) comes up to the bottom of baby's earlobe but no higher. Once baby has head control (around 4 months old) the top edge of the panel can sit lower but must be at least to baby's armpits.
If your baby is newborn, start with the panel adjusted to the shortest setting. Try the carrier with baby (they'll be facing inwards at this stage).
If the top edge (when folded) comes up to the bottom of their earlobe then this is the right height for them. If the carrier is too low over their back, you can make it slightly longer. If the carrier panel is too tall, you'll need to wait until baby has grown a little.
For facing outwards, baby needs to have full head control and be at least 5 months old.
They can then either have arms inside the carrier (coming out through the gaps) or over the top edge. If they have arms out, you want to ensure the top edge of the carrier comes up to their armpits. If they have arms in, you want to ensure the top edge of the carrier (when folded) comes no higher than their chin.
It's about trying different panel heights to see what is right for your baby.
I hope that helps!
How many minutes should i carry like this?
Hello! It depends on the age of your baby, their developmental stage and your body shape, so putting a specific 'time' on in isn't possible.
Facing outwards is generally a sub-optimal position compared to facing inwards. They therefore recommend it for 'short periods of time' but this will vary between babies and between wearers.
The key safety facts are: Baby needs to be at least 4 months old with full head control. They must always be turned to face inwards for sleep.
For a 4 month old baby the time facing outwards will be much less than for an 11 month old baby.
Also think about your comfort (it's likely to pull on your shoulders more than if they're facing inwards) and also your baby's comfort and turn them to face inwards accordingly.
@@SouthEastSlings thank you so much for your answer. It is 5 months old. I shoul go on carrying it inward position 🤗 have a nice day.
Yeliz No problem. At 5 months old baby is old enough for facing outwards, providing they have full head control. But you may want to wait until they're a little older. It's totally up to you :-)
@@SouthEastSlings thanks a lot 💜 i have chosen this kangaroo thanks to you and i really love it. Have a nice day! 👋
