My baby is due soon and I bought an infantion slingrider and
was given a Baby Bjorn.
I really don't know much about slings/carriers and was hoping
some experienced moms could give me some advice about which
(if either) to use for a newborn.

I have the receipts for both so could take one or both back.

Thanks!!

The main problem with the Infantino is that many say they are uncomfortable and not the easiest to get on/baby into. However there are more that like the Bjorns.
For baby-neither is good for their back-since the baby essentially hangs in there- all their weight is on their lower back which is not physically recommended but I can't link you to any articles-someone else can I bet!
The Bjorns are good for older babies and lots like them so I'd keep that to try but would use my money from the other on a pouch or unpadded sling-you'll get more use out of it and you can wear baby in it from day one until they are a toddler!
My fave is www.hotslings.com
but check out the above reviews for more ideas.
