The Baby Bjorn Synergy Carrier combines the light lightweight mobility of mesh material with a comfortable back support. This carrier looks as good as it feels and was specifically designed with active parents in mind. It will safely hold children from 8-pound newborns to 26-pounds toddlers and features an adjustable neck rest that evolves with your growing child. The Baby Bjorn Synergy Carrier is made of lightweight, breathable 3D mesh that allows for superior airflow to keep you and baby cooler. The carrier offers enhanced lower back support and padded shoulder straps that are engineered to provide even more support for your back. This means you can comfortably carry your baby longer. For a newborn, it is best to have them facing you and to keep the safety strap fastened, this helps keep their neck and head stabilized and at a comfortable position. But when your little one gets bigger, the neck rest folds down so he or she can face outwards. This lightweight baby carrier is great for travel--it fits neatly into a handy storage pocket attached inside the carrier. You can trust the experts at Baby Bjorn.
