Gemini Beco Baby Carrier

The Gemini Baby Carrier promises to be a great addition to the line of baby carriers from Beco. Some of its features include the ability to carry your baby in 4 different positions: front facing in, front facing forward, hip carry, and back carry. This is a change from the Butterfly 2 which does not allow a forward facing front carry or a hip carry. The hip carry does not offer an even distribution of weight across both shoulders, but gives parents another option while wearing their baby. The forward facing front carry is one that can be controversial in the babywearing community due to the fact that a baby can become overstimulated in this position. We recommend using this position on a limited basis, when the chance of overstimulation is low. Pay attention to the mood and temperament of your baby before using this position. In our experience babies are quite content to gaze up at their mother of father when being worn on the front facing in. They can hear your heartbeat and be comforted by looking at your face.

Ergo Baby Carrier or Beco Baby Carrier?

We recently heard from Erin who is trying to decide between an Ergo Baby Carrier and a Beco Baby Carrier. We think thy are both great baby carriers, but here are some of the main differences beyond appearance.

The Ergo body panel is shorter. Some people prefer this so that younger babies 6-12 months can put their arms outside the carrier for freedom of movement. Other people feel that the panel is too short for toddlers resulting in not enough back support for them. However we still use our Ergo for our 3 year old daughter on hikes. I don’t really feel like she needs any more support and she feels secure.

The Beco Baby Carrier also has a panel inside the carrier. This makes it very easy to get your baby securely on your back. Some people that are already comfortable with back carries feel this is an unnecessary step.

However I think that whichever carrier you choose it is very easy to learn the methods for each one. Meaning the extra step of the Beco is not really that cumbersome once you learn how to do it. At the same time the back carry is not really that difficult to learn with the Ergo either.
