I plan to do a short walking holiday next month with my husband and my 19 month old. Our plan is to walk a length of the Cotswold Way in England, stopping at B&Bs and carrying our luggae with us. We would probably use a combination of SSC (Beco Butterfly 2) and wrap for back carries, and take a camping rucksack for most of our kit, plus a small ( Read more... )

I am interested in this carrier a lot. Mostly because I heard that it is the only carrier that you can take off while the baby is still securely fastened into it and pass it to your partner to put on with the baby still inside.

For my first I used a Moby and a mei tai. I loved the Moby while I was in the house, but found it incredibly difficult to ( Read more... )

So I have a Beco Butterfly 2, and I'm about six weeks pregnant with my second. Wearing my 23lb 13 month old in the Beco for more than about twenty minutes is just murdering my hips - this hasn't bothered me prior to getting pregnant, so is this a sign I should quit using the Beco while pregnant, or should I adjust something? I pull the hip strap as ( Read more... )

Has anyone here tried both the Beco Butterfly II and the Babyhawk Oh Snap! ? I have a Beco, and I've used it for a long time, but never actually found it comfortable to wear on my back for over half an hour, no matter how I adjust it. I also have a babyhawk mei tai but have a hard time wearing my heavy toddler in it, plus my favorite part of the ( Read more... )

does anyone have any tips for wearing a newborn? my daughter is 4 weeks old. i have a beco butterfly 2. i tried to put her in it twice and she screamed and hollered at me. she was around 2 weeks old then. probably too soon. i did follow the video that they have on their website. any help?

For those of you that use SSCs, how old was your child before you started carrying them in a back carry?

Bonus points for experience with the Beco Butterfly II, since that is the carrier I own.

Hello all! I'm new, at least to here (but looking through some of the older posts to this comm, I'm seeing a lot of familiar "faces" *waves*). While I had aspirations of baby wearing when I was pregnant, I have to admit we got to a really slow start. I had purchased a Balboa sling while my son, Finn, liked it the first wear, he hated it ever ( Read more... )

So today I decided to try wearing LO out in public. I needed a few things at the mall so I strapped her on and shopping we went ( Read more... )

Am I wearing my 3 week old correctly in my Beco Butterfly 2? If not, what do I need to do differently? Her body seems okay to me I suppose, but her head seemed a little floppy ( Read more... )

 I recently asked for your suggestions for a soft structured carrier that could accomodate a plus size mom and big baby.  The resounding suggestion was the Beco, and one of you was kind enough to direct me to Paxbaby for a rental!! Awesome!  Thank you ( Read more... )
