| The Beco Butterfly Baby Carrier combines great ergonomics, excellent weight distribution and stylish design. Every piece is handmade from top quality designer fabric and heavy duty webbing and buckles, and can be used with children from newborns to toddlers, in both front and back carries. The innovative internal sling enables you to securely buckle your baby into the carrier, then handle Baby + Carrier as a single unit. You can put your baby on your back very easily, just like putting on a backpack! The Beco Butterflys removable infant insert for newborns allows your little baby under 15 pounds to ride higher in the carrier in an ergonomically comfortable position. When your baby outgrows the need for the newborn insert, you simply place her into the main Y shaped internal sling attached to the carrier's shoulder straps, which improves the distribution of the baby's weight and enables parents to pass baby from one wearer to another without taking the baby out of the carrier. The inside panel acts as a safety harness and prevents baby from slipping down or falling out of the carrier. 1) Child can be worn on front or back and easily shifted from one to the other. 2) Tall, tapered carrier body provides lots of upper body support for your baby or toddler, holds baby close to your body for greater comfort. 3) A Sternum (chest) strap is connected to the shoulder straps and slides along their length. 4) Padded waistband is firm and supportive while maintaining a slim profile. 5) High quality designer fabrics are smooth, stylish, and comfortable against the skin. 6) Padded leg holes prevent chafing of little thighs. 7) User waist range fits 25 to 50 inches (63 to127cm). 8) User height range fits from 4 foot 9 to 6 foot 2. (144cm to 188cm). |

| I am a baby wearer though and through! I have 4 daughters, 9yrs. through 6 months and have used many carriers for all of them. The Bjorn, Sprout Pouch, Peanut Shell, Zolo Wear, Sling-Lings, and up until this one, may fave, the Baby Hawk... I think the Baby Hawk has been dethroned to a second place in my pole, (But I still LOVE my Baby Hawk and use it almost as much as the Beco)... I LOVE my beco-baby carrier! it is the BEST carrier I've EVER used for back-carrying, I love it so much!!! It looks cool, feels good, is secure, and well, I just love it! I HIGHLY reccomend this product to any mom or mom-to-be!!! |

Or, Where Were These 31 Years Ago...
After looking at the pro's and con's of the numerous baby carriers out there, I decided on purchasing a Beco Butterfly II for my daughter's first baby. I will admit there was an ulterior motive - my upper body strength isn't that great and I was going to help out with the newborn. I wanted to be able to carry the baby but wanted to have my arms and hands free since I like to multitask. We chose the Beco Butterfly II for many reasons.
The Beco was highly recommended by a number of maternity shops; these shops carried several brands, so it wasn't just to make the sale of a Beco. The similarity to a good backpack was egnomically important since two of the grandparents have back problems; the Beco distributed weight evenly and provided lower back support. The adjustability of the carrier was paramount since there are six users who range from 5'1" in height to 5' 10" and whose weights range from 110 to over 200 pounds. All of the four grandparents and both parents have been able to use the Beco with no problems. Further, the Beco is comfortable even when you are toting a 10 pound two week old baby for extended periods of time. I have worn the Beco when sitting and have had no problems typing while wearing it.
My grandson was having some trouble with spitting up after he ate. The doctor suggested keeping him upright for 30 minutes after feeding. We found this was very useful for that purpose; as an additional benefit, we found my grandson remained much more calm when carried in the Beco.
I would definitely recommend watching the DVD before using the Beco. It answered the questions we had about using the Beco which we did not feel were clearly addressed in the pamphlet that came with the carrier. Yes, this item is a bit pricey, but it is right in line with the better baby carriers out there.
If you do not like the patterns shown on Amazon, check the Beco web site. They show all the current options and provide information as to where specific patterns can be purchased. |
Highly suggest!

Let me start this off by saying that I have tried just about every carrier out there. Snugli, Hotsling, Hip Hammock, mai-tais and various other slings and carriers. By the time my son was 1 and I still hadn't found one I liked I had almost given up on baby wearing. I'm a larger girl with a big bust and bad back. Nothing was comfortable for me. I borrowed a friends Ergo and for me it was still uncomfortable. I also didn't like that I had to use the waist extender. But as far as carriers go it worked out the best for me. Until I did some online searching. I found the butterfly and read about it. There were so many great features. One of my favorite is that I could take my son off of me and transfer him to my partner without taking him out. I also felt MUCH safer putting him on my back with the Beco instead of the Ergo. But that's just me. The biggest selling point for me was that it came with everything whereas with the Ergo you had to buy the extras.
Now I have a 6 week old and haven't used any carrier but this one. I love it so much! |
Beautiful, Comfy, Easy to use.

| I really am enjoying this carrier. I have 4 kids and have used a variety of carriers. I had my 2 month old in a Hotsling (LOVE it!!) for a few months but my shoulder started to get sore so I went looking for something better. I loved that this was designed to be ergonomically sound and that it is pretty. We never used the infant insert because my baby was to big but, it's nice that it comes with it. I got the Ryan print which I love, it's masculine enough for hubbie and pretty enough for me. When wearing my son in it, I swear it feels like a gentle hug! He nuzzles right up under my chin and I truely don't feel the weight of him on me. He feels so cozy! It did take him a few times to adjust from the sling to this but he loves it now! I'm just starting to try him out on my back (he's 3.5 months now). It's easy enough to get him there but we still use the front carry more due to age. I tried the back carry a few times with my 2 year old niece and she loved it! I could go on and on! It's easy to adjust. Easy to use. Pretty. And built to last! Highly recommend!! |
Extremely comfortable!

I bought a Beco Butterfly 2 after my son outgrew the Bjorn.
First off, I just have to say that the Bjorn killed my back and shoulders. From what I've researched, it's also terrible for baby's spine and joints.
The Beco, however, is so much better for the wearer and baby. For wearer, it places weight on your hips, rather than your back and shoulders. For baby, it supports the baby in a natural sitting position.
I have been using the Beco for 1-2 months now for my now 23-pound son. I love it. We use it when we run errands or do chores around the house. As long as I adjust the straps properly, I don't feel discomfort in my back or shoulders. My son loves riding in the back carry around the house. He kicks his feet in excitement every time.
I love that I can use the Beco for front or back carry. The back carry took some practice, but I can get my son on my back by myself.
My husband also likes using the Beco. He finds it to be comfortable and easy to use.
The instructional DVD that comes with the Beco is quite helpful. If you purchase this product, you should watch it for info on how to use the Beco safely.
The Beco is a little pricey, but the comfort and ease of use make it worth the price! Highly recommend! |

| These are a cut above the rest. Easy to use, and great to look at, these Becco baby carriers are my 1st choice. As a 1st time mom, and long time subway traveler (I live in NYC) I needed something strong and dependable. This is it. Pricey but worth it. Doesn't dangle the child by the legs like Baby Bjorn, but supports the whole body. |
Comfy and easy to use

| My son is very heavy and wants to be carried all the time! The beco is comfortable and I can put him in it in about 10 seconds. It's a little pricey, but worth it. The straps are kind of annoying at first, but after a few tries, I figured out the right position and they seem to give a lot of support. At first, I had it too loose and my son was fussy. I have the bjorn and the straps were digging into my stomach. And my back hurt too. I also have the moby which was great when he was very little, but it would take a while to get on and I had to keep readjusting it. My son also started to get really squirmy in it. I have the peanut shell sling, but he doesn't like being carried that way. It's also pretty thin so it doesn't make us as hot as the bjorn or moby. That said, I think you will feel warm with your baby in any carrier! I hope you enjoy your beco as much as I do! |
