I love becos and I know a ton of people who should have them. I think to get more men to wear their babies we need to have more 'manly' looking carriers. I have tried to get my husband to use my carrier but he says it looks to girl-y for him. I think this carrier just might change his mind!! Love the light brown with the helicopter print. I hope I win we could never afford to buy another carrier and I'd love to see my husband carry #3 when it arrives this summer!!

I have heard from men that the way Ergos and Becos are designed when you wear a back carry (which men seem to prefer, as the front carry makes some feel *pregnant*), the back strap that goes along the bottom accentuates your belly if you have one. So a slightly sturdier/wider hip belt may help with that problem. Men gravitate to Bjorns for that reason. I didn't see anyone mention WHERE advertising is located either-- men aren't reading the typical magazines you see the ads in. So ads on the subway in nyc (lots of babywearing here), ads in family friendly men's magazines, and on websites they frequent.

I would love a Beco. My DP has a pouch sling, but no womanly hips for babe to rest on. The Beco is a perfect alternative for him!!
Ooo a Beco carrier. What would be more lovely than seeing Daddy snuggling our little one in one (so long as it isn't pink)?

I am a 24 year old mother who loves to babywear but I do not have an apropriate carrier for my daughter. She is uncomfortable in the carrier that I have and my back is killing me. I love the beco and everything about it. I have read and heard nothing but great things about it. I would love to win the beco carrier because it will help me with my daughter and getting work done around the house and school. I also have a step daughter who is two and it will help out with her and make it easier at the park and errands so I can carry my baby.
(THIS IS ALEXI'S SMILE FOR YOU SAYING HOW MUCH SHE WANTS A BECO CARRIER)
We love baby carriers! My husband was not very excited about the idea of wearing our son until I showed him the carriers that were more gender neutral and fit more like a backpack.
