Hope this is allowed! I recently posted this on thebabywearer.com per one mama's request. Thought I'd share here because I don't think there is a review of this carrier on here yet. Please feel free to take it down if it's not allowed!

( My new favorite SSC )

I know it's kind of hard to think about right now (especially here in Michigan), but which SCC would be best for hot weather?  My daughter tends to get overheated very easily.  I'm leaning towards an Olives & Applesauce, so if anyone has used that in hot weather and could tell me what their experience was, that would be especially helpful.

I'm trying to get my husband into babywearing before baby #2 arrives in August. We've looked at some pictures and talked about what he likes and doesn't like and it's sounding like he likes the Beco the best. However, a Beco is out of our budget at the moment.
