You can use Baby Carrier Mini for your newborn, and no extra infant insert is necessary. You can also use Baby Carrier Mini for both the facing-in position and the facing-out position. You can carry in the facing-out position from around the age of five months, once your baby is strong enough to hold their head up unaided.

When can I start using Baby Carrier Mini?
You can use Baby Carrier Mini from the day your baby is born — its softness and small size make it ideal to pack in your hospital bag!

How do I adjust my Baby Carrier Mini to fit my growing baby?
All BabyBjörn Baby Carriers are fully adjustable to fit your growing child. The size adjustment is located on the inside of the seat area, i.e. under the baby’s bottom. You use the double buckle to adapt the baby carrier according to your child’s height.

Does Baby Carrier Mini come in different materials?

Baby Carrier Mini is available in four super-soft materials: 3D jersey, 3D mesh, satin-woven cotton and a soft, lustrous woven blend – all developed to enhance the closeness between you and your baby.

Does Baby Carrier Mini provide my baby with good support?
Yes, the soft fabrics gently hug your baby’s back, legs and hips, and provide good support. You can check your newborn’s position and the natural curve of their back through the fabric with your hands. Baby Carrier Mini also offers sturdy and adjustable head support.

Can I carry my child in both the facing-in and facing-out positions in Baby Carrier Mini?
Yes, you can! Please remember that the leg straps should be used to reduce the size of the leg openings for babies between 3.2 and 4.5 kg (7 and 10 lbs ). When you carry your baby in the facing-out position, they should be at least five months old and weigh max. 11 kg (24 lbs). Do you want the option of carrying your child on your back? Then either Baby Carrier Harmony, Baby Carrier One or Baby Carrier One Air would be right for you!

Can I wash my Baby Carrier Mini?
Yes, like all our baby carriers, Baby Carrier Mini is machine washable. Machine wash at 40°C. Wash separately, preferably in a laundry bag. Use an eco-friendly, mild and bleach-free detergent. Do not tumble dry. Since our fabrics are free from harmful substances, there’s no need to wash your Baby Carrier Mini before you start using it.

When will my child outgrow Baby Carrier Mini?
Baby Carrier Mini is suitable until your child is one year old or until they reach a weight of 11 kg (24 lbs) and/or a height of 75 cm ( 29.5 in). If you’re looking for a baby carrier that you can use for longer and one that suits parents with an active lifestyle, we suggest Baby Carrier Move.

These certifications set exceptionally high bars to ensure that no harmful levels of chemicals find their way into products meant for your little one.

Unique fabrics developed for BabyBjörn

Since our fabrics are such an important part of our textile products, we develop the majority of our fabrics in-house. This allows us to assure high and consistent quality and ensure that the fabrics offer the unique properties we require.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class 1 for baby products

All fabrics that come in contact with your child’s skin meet the requirements of OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class 1 for baby products. This means that they’re kind to your baby’s skin and safe to taste. So there’s no need to wash the baby carrier before you start using it.

Washing instructions

Life with little ones can get messy, right? That’s why our fabrics are super easy to clean – they’re machine washable, dry in no time, and keep their shape and colour intact. While our fabrics can handle frequent washing, let’s do our part for the planet: use lower wash temperatures and don’t over-wash. Use a washing bag to cut down on microplastic fibres entering the environment. Choose an eco-friendly detergent without bleach and ditch the fabric softener. Do not tumble dry or iron. For minor stains, a quick wipe with a damp cloth usually does the trick. Plus our products are free from any harmful levels of substances, so there’s no need to wash them before their first use.
