BECO has made another GREAT BABY CARRIER

Posted
By 2jmama

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

To anyone looking for a carrier, BECO is the brand!   I recently had purchased the Gemini, great carrier! It has everything you will ever need and want, its ergonomic, comfy, organic, made in California, elegant, not bulky, 4 positions, just amazing.   Ergonomic: it holds my DD in a ergonomic (Proper) position not like the Bjorn crotch dangler.   Comfy: It distributes your baby's weight between your shoulders and hips, not your back, you can baby              wear for hours and be amazed that you're actually baby wearing for so long.   Organic: In this day in age, organic...

Better experience with another carrier

Posted
By jennettb1

Pros: Tons of padding

Cons: Virtually impossible to nurse in.

I gave this a very low rating to performance, because I found it impossible to nurse in.  With a toddler and a baby, I needed something I could nurse with hands free.  I ended up passing along my Beco to a friend who had a baby a little older, and didn't need to nurse on the go.

Pros: Baby is front facing.

Cons: The baby seems to outgrow it faster than the Butterfly.

I love this is a front facing carrier. Whoo-hoo.

Beco Gemini Review

Posted
By Addison Kat

Pros: Easy to use, Comfortable

Okay so I didn't get the baby wearing thing with my first kid. We had a babyBjorn carrier and my daughter liked it but it really wasn't comfortable for me to wear.  Hubby liked it but he only carried her like 1% of the time so to me the price was not worth it.  DD liked to face out rather than in.  I know they say that you shouldn't face your baby out because they'll be overstimulated but what else do you do when your baby won't stop screaming at you and that's the only thing that will calm her down? Anyways, not a fan of the Bjorn carrier.   So with the second baby, I thought I would give this a try. LOVE!! It's not only comfy and easy to use, you can even nurse...

Absolutely Love IT!

Posted
By finnisMom

Pros: Flexibility...Facing-in or Out/ Hip-Carry/ Back-Carry, very supportive straps, easily adjustable, stylish patterns :-)

Cons: no sun shade

We first owned a BBII, but unfortunately our little one really disliked the "facing in" position when he was little. He kept rubbing his face against my chest and even nursing him couldn't calm him down....SO we sold our BBII and bought the GEMINI, which we absolutely love!!! I adore that you have the flexibility of the different positions. Would buy this over and over, and have recommended it to my friends:-)

Great carrier

Posted
By kjhead719

Pros: Very comfortable, Quick to put on

I just got my Beco Gemini for Christmas and it is so comfortable.  I love how easy it is to get my daughter (10 months) onto my back and she absolutely loves it.  I have multiple carriers and I like this one for when I need something for a long period of time, it never feels like I'm wearing an extra 22 lbs.

Great Carrier

Posted
By Joyce Dorsey

Pros: fits larger children comfortably, great back support

Cons: Need better way to tie up ties.

I purchased this carrier for my 2nd child after having another well known carrier brand with my 1st child and hating it. This carrier is AMAZING. I can comfortably carrier my almost 2yr old on my back or front for hours with both of us staying comfy the whole time. I purchased the Luna print and it is gorgeous. The carrier fits well on my tall slender frame and easily adjusts to fitting my husband as well. I would recommend this carrier to anyone looking for a great carrier to use from birth till toddlerhood!

Most important baby item we own

Posted
By Maren Hayward

Pros: Comfortable, well-priced, easy to use, versatile, beautiful

I purchased the Beco Gemini when our daughter became too heavy for our Baby Bjorn (she was about 15 lbs and 8-months-old).  So we've had it for about 8 or 9 months.  I chose the Beco after doing a lot of research on carriers because I wanted a one that allowed her to face forward.  My husband and I both adore the Beco, and it is by far our most valued piece of baby gear.  It is the one single thing that we cannot live without.  There is so much I could say about how comfortable it is to wear, how beautiful it looks, and how versatile it is.  But I won't ramble on about all of those things.  There are just two things I really want you to know.  ...

LOVE my Beco Gemini

Posted
By mamoomemoo

Pros: Comfortable, easy to wear, happy baby, multiple positions, can face out

While the Beco Gemini has a hefty price tag, it's well worth it!   I was true to Moby until my daughter was hanging from my knees by the time she was 18 lbs. The stretchy material says that it will support up to 35 lbs., but I just didn't find that to be the case.   After a long trip away from home where my daughter wanted to be held the entire time (at 15 months), we knew that it was time to invest in a soft structured carrier.   It was between the Ergo and the Beco. We were sold on the Gemini when we realized our VERY social daughter could face out.   The only downside of being able to face out is losing 10 more pounds of carrying capacity (the...

Love my Beco Gemini!!

Posted
By chavatziporah

Pros: Easy to use, versitile, comfortable

I did lots of research, looking for the perfect baby carrier. I wanted something that I could use for a long period of time.  I also wanted a carrier that would allow my baby to face inward, but additionally, to face forward.  We used it over the summer when we went on vacation.  I am pretty sure there was not a day that passed that we didnt use our Beco Gemini.  It was truly amazing!  My son loved being able to look out at the scenery and when he got tired, I was able to switch him and he would fall asleep.  My husband and I were able to continue what we were doing while my son took a nap.  We walked around with him for long period of time and it...
