The new Synergy carrier builds upon the great features of the original carrier, but adds an exclusive breathable mesh fabric that fights heat and moisture (and dries quickly after a being thrown in the washing machine) and the necessary lumbar support to let you carry your baby for longer periods of time.

And you can tuck the whole carrier into the attached storage pocket. How’s that for convenience?

Special offer: One lucky Cradle readers will win a Baby Björn Synergy baby carrier. To enter, visit The Cradle’s Product Guide: Baby Carriers, and tell us when you shouldn’t use a baby carrier.
