Beco Butterfly II Baby Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!

Product Description:
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 Butterfly's 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).

Boba Organic Baby Carrier 2G Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Boba is a soft-structured carrier (think Ergo) designed to be used for children ages 1 to 4 (15 - 45 lbs.) for front and back carries, and my two youngest are now 16 months and 3.5.As an Ergo owner my first thoughts were - how does the Boba differ from an Ergo?Well, to be honest there are quite a few points of differentiation, most good, some not-so-good.There are also some similarities and challenges that seem to present themselves with any structured carrier.

So, first off, the Boba is an organic cotton carrier, made in Boulder, Colarado by mountaineering professionals - very neat!The first things I noticed were the nicely contoured padded shoulder straps, the handy `hide-em' elastics to roll up the excess webbing from the shoulder straps and waist strap (very nice touch!), and the heavy duty safety-buckle.

Loading both of my children in the front facing position was very simple, but I did need some help fastening the chest-strap across my back (I have limited mobility in my right arm), so I need some help there.I played with the foot-straps some before realizing that my baby's legs are just too short for them to work at the moment, but they are very adjustable with a neat sliding feature that let's you move them around the bottom of the carrier.Adjusting for circumference is tricker, as they velcro up inside of the padded waist area, which is securely fastened when you have a child in the carrier and are trying to adjust the straps.The front carry with Sarah is blissful, it's the snuggliest, worry-free front carry ever!She's in the perfect position to kiss, and the extra fabric on the sides and top really gives it a cocoon-like feel.She slept for hours in the Boba the first time she rode in it.

Now, the shoulder straps were hard for me to get snug enough, so I called in my husband, but this isn't unique to the Boba, I always have a hard time with this design of tightening fixture on soft-structure carriers.Once adjusted though, between the shoulder and chest straps you can get a good custom-fit for your child.It does take a few minutes to adjust the carrier back and forth for different children.

Now, my 3.5 year old IS tall enough to get use out of the foot-straps!Designed to be used with shoes, the straps function almost as a stirrup, and are designed to lift the leg to a healthy, 90 degree angle from hip to thigh and thigh to calf.I think it's a pretty neat idea, and you can tell that the posture is definitely better with the strap as opposed to without.If she gets excited and tries to 'stand' in the stirrups, the velcro lets loose and needs to be done up again, and she did say they were a bit `itchy' - some of the velcro must have brushed her leg (something to note if your youngster has sensory-integration issues).Again the front carry is very supportive and incredibly comfy, I could carry her for hours like this!She likes it too.

Now, for the back carry, I actually got Sarah in without help on my first try by following the instructions!The extra fabric on the panel really makes a difference here.With other soft-structured carriers I often felt like my baby was leaning away from me because I couldn't feel her upper body against my back.With the Boba that problem is no longer there!With some careful adjustments I can get my little girl hugged up nice and comfy. I REALLY like this...sure helps when I'm doing dishes!

Rose also gets nice and tight up against me as you can see. Now, with her being heavier I did notice that the unpadded webbing that makes up the front portion of the Boba (where you fasten the safety buckle) carries more weight and did dig into my abdomen some.That's likely due to my squishy mommy belly, but it wasn't entirely comfortable.Some other carriers feature a flat band of fabric that goes underneath this section of webbing to distribute the weight without so much digging, but the Boba doesn't. Thankfully, I don't use a carrier with her often, as I'm the only carrier wearer in the family, so I usually take Sarah.If Rosie tuckers out her Dad uses his arms.

The Boba also doesn't have a sleeping baby head flap, but in truth, I've rarely been able to fasten those by myself with a baby in the carrier, and often it woke mine up.With the extra fabric providing upper-back support, Sarah just tucked herself in closer when she fell asleep in the front carry, so I haven't missed it yet.

With both the back and front carries high, snug, and secure, the Boba is a great carrier for moms who want to wear their babies through the winter with a baby-wearing coat.Once you get your adjustments made you're ready to go, there won't be any budging.

Parents shopping for a first soft-structured baby carrier should STRONGLY consider the Boba due to the extra fabric in the panel ALONE.The added feeling of security is so sweet, snuggly, and above all reassuring!

The Boba is comfortable, attractively designed baby carrier that comes in earth-inspired colors. The Boba is supremely easy to adjust and it is designed for use during everyday activities, both indoors and outdoors. Boba is MADE in USA with 100% certified organic cotton.

Ergo Baby Carrier - Camel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a babywearer, mostly for the convenience of having my baby on my person instead of lugging a stroller around, but the bonding time is a great benefit!I suffered with the Bjorn all through my first child's infancy, but found the back strain progressed to intolerable by the time she 12-15 lbs.I discovered the ergo during my second child's infancy and used it with the insert. It's certainly been the most comfortable carrier for me and my DD. Liked it too that my husb could quickly adjust it to fit himself as well.Yet I found it bulky both to wear under a coat and when just carrying it around (esp traveling). I ended up using the Hotsling when DD was old enough to sit up on my hip (early- like 3months); even got my husb his own.Sling folds up easily into diaper bag; can work under a coat; quick on/off; doesn't emphasize my "mommy-pooch" like the ergo's waist strap does!Now DD is 1yo and I'm back to the ergo for my back's sake.I'm revisiting all the old feelings as well...bulky to carry, hard to wear UNDER a coat, hate the muffin-top the strap creates around my hips and belly.Am finding it difficult to quickly adjust from front/back to side-carry as well.Ah, the sacrifices...

Pikkolo Soft Structured Baby Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I absolutely LOVE this pack!I've had it for just over a month now, and it gets used every day.Sometimes multiple times during the day.Learning to use it can be a bit complicated, but it's not difficult once you get it down.My 3 month old hates being in his stroller or car seat, so I carry this pack with me everywhere.It's his main mode of transportation when he's not in the car.Originally I was given a Jeep front carrier, but that hurt my back and shoulders.I've had two back surgeries and deal with a lot of back pain already.This carrier has the hip belt, which is a must for me.It's much better on your back and shoulders.Plus, I like the fact there is nothing between me and him.He is securely held in waist belt, and then pressed up against me.Since my son always falls asleep in his carrier (front carry, facing in), it makes it easy to remove the pack after we get home.I can even just lay down on the sofa, unbuckle and slide out everything, and then he can nap right there with me!

He isn't quite big enough for the back carry yet, but I have practiced putting the carrier on that way.It is a little more complicated than some, again, but not hard to figure out.I love the fact that this can be used in so many ways- front facing in, front facing out, hip carry, and back carry.And since it holds a baby up to 40 pounds, there won't be any need for me to look into a new carrier over the years.It is well worth the money.

Product Description:
The new Pikkolo by CatBird Baby represents the new height of carrier sophistication and comfort. You can completely customize it to meet you and your baby's ever-changing needs over time, and use it in a myriad of positions. * Excellent for babies from newborn up to 45 pounds (age 4 to 5). * All Pikkolo carriers include a detachable sleep hood, chest belt and instruction manual and are 100% cotton, exclusive of trim. * The Pikkolo has a cinching mechanism on either side of the carrier body to narrow the carrier. You can then comfortably wear your baby in front facing out. The baby is held in a healthy semi-seated position which does not place as much pressure on the crotch and spine of the baby as a Baby Bjorn does.* The ability to cinch the carrier body also makes it good for wearing small babies. A narrower cinched carrier body means that a small baby will not have to spread his legs very wide while riding.* Brushed twill cotton fabric is feather-soft, feels wonderful against the skin.* Snap hooks on sleeping hood attach to D-rings on the shoulder straps for ease of use and better adjustment. * Tested to fit wearers between 4'10" and 6'2". * All buckles are dual-adjustable and adjust both ways, for optimal fit and ease of adjustment.* Shoulder straps are padded with deluxe memory foam. It is very thin, but incredibly cushy and shock-absorbent. As the foam becomes warmed by your body heat, it shapes itself to your shoulders for a glove-like fit.* Recommended care: wash on gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Dry on low until just damp, hang to finish drying in well ventilated area. Spot clean when needed

ERGO New Infant Insert Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second Ergo infant insert I've bought.I bought this one hoping it would work better than the old infant insert.It doesn't.Basically, if your newborn doesn't like the Ergo carrier, it's likely neither insert is going to help. You should test the Ergo with your newborn before spending the money.

My husband and I loved the idea of the Ergo carrier, as the hip belt helps alleviate back problems and is much like our packs for backpacking, so we registered for one.But however much we like the carrier, my eight-week-old, 10.5 pound daughter hates it. I've been trying to get her into the Ergo using first the old infant insert, and now the Heart 2 Heart, repeatedly ever since she was born, but with no success. The moment I put her (in the insert) into the Ergo carrier, she starts screaming and doesn't stop until I take her out. I've watched the video for the old insert (note: there's no video for the Heart 2 Heart) and am following their technique exactly, but still she just hates the carrier.

Neither insert provides enough head support for my daughter, which is why I think she screams. The Heart 2 Heart in particular doesn't work; when she's settled into it as per the instructions, the insert doesn't come up high enough to support her head, and she's not a particularly long child.So her head flops forward when she tries to look around, which frustrates her.

Both inserts feel like a bit of an afterthought -- I'm not convinced the Ergo carrier was designed with newborns in mind. Having the baby's feet out one side in the old insert seemed like a stopgap solution, and the Heart 2 Heart doesn't quite solve the issue, either.Interestingly, I picked up a used Baby Bjorn as a last resort after having spent all this money on the Ergo and the inserts, and she likes the Bjorn, because it's stiffer and provides more support.I think she won't like the Ergo until her head's a bit steadier; we'll go back to the Ergo then.

So it's worth knowing before buying this insert that it may or may not be money well spent -- it all just depends on whether your child likes it or not, and there's a possibility she won't (as I've now seen multiple reports on various sites saying that their newborns also don't like the Ergo; wish I'd done this research before getting the Ergo and spending the money on the inserts).It's worth waiting until after your baby is born and trying out the infant inserts before buying them.Otherwise, you may want to hold off on the Ergo until 4-5 months.

Infantino Ecosash Baby Carrier, Bloomin Vines, 8-35 Pounds Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, I should say that I have a very, very low opinion of Infantino because of their "bag sling" the slingrider, which they left on the market for years after moms in the babywearing community warned them repeatedly that it (as well as all bag slings) was dangerous.In fact, they never recalled it voluntarily, the CPSC had to issue a recall.

That said, I actually liked some things about this carrier, although I don't recommend it overall.It's a mei tai ("may tie"), which is a very common and popular kind of baby carrier.I've owned a few of them, as well as ring slings, pouch slings, structured soft carriers (like the Ergo), and wraps of all kinds.Mei tais are my favorite for extended wearing, when the baby is not in and out of the carrier often, because they are difficult to get into.

This carrier in particular has some pros and cons:

Pros:
- very supportive of a heavier, larger baby.My baby is almost at the max weight limit (35 lbs.) and we enjoyed it.
- nice, neutral color
- detachable hood - very helpful!
- the PRICE!it's super cheap
- booklet that comes with it is somewhat informative

Cons:
- the method of tying is uncomfortable.See below.
- the detachable/reversible panel is annoying.So much bulk and fuss for such an unimportant thing (to me) just got in the way.
- there are "instruction" panels in a stiff satin fabric ALL OVER this thing.There are panels identifying which is the top, which is the waist, how to wear your baby, the weight limits, etc.It makes the carrier uncomfortable if the panels touch your skin or your baby's, and it's totally unnecessary, in my opinion.
- very large and bulky for a small baby
- no pocket!I really appreciate the pocket in all my baby carriers that have them.

The shoulder straps are only long enough to tie around the body of the carrier, as seen in the picture.I am pretty petite in the ribcage and waist, so even with a big baby, I was able to tie it properly (see below) but not in a bow, only in a very unsafe double knot.A petite woman with a small baby MIGHT be able to tie it properly, but that's clearly not how it's meant to be tied.

The instructions have you cross the straps over your shoulders and then bring them around under your arms and tie them there on the baby's back (if you are carrying baby on the front, facing in).I find this method of tying uncomfortable for me and the baby.

I've almost always seen mei tais tied around the back, with the straps going under baby's legs for extra support.That is, if you're wearing your baby on the front, you cross the straps over your back, bring them around under your arms and cross them over the front panel of the mei tai (where the picture above would have you tie them, instead you cross them or twist them), then tuck the straps under baby's legs and tie them on the small of your back where the waist straps are tied.

All in all, I would invest more money in a better mei tai, or find one used for a comparable price with better features.The annoying labels and the length of the straps really make it unusable for me.Maybe it be a good starter mei tai to learn, but I think YouTube videos and thebabywearer.com, combined with a quality WAHM-made carrier would be a much better and safer way to learn.Infantino is behind the curve on making baby carriers, and I would avoid buying from them in the future.

note: I received this carrier for free with the Amazon Vine program.

Ergo Baby Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have a Baby Bjorn (Original) as well as an Ergo baby carrier.I think both have their advantages and disadvantages, which I will try to explain below.

We purchased the Ergo carrier before our daughter was born based on the recommendation of a friend.However, we found that she could not sit in it comfortably at first.Before your baby can straddle your torso (until about 4 months/15 lbs), you have to put both legs on one side.I watched the instructional DVD several times and tried to place her into the carrier as comfortably as possible, but she did not like it at all.It didn't look comfortable either with her back twisted and body squished.This is when we decided to try the original Baby Bjorn carrier.

Our daughter loved being in the Bjorn (facing in or out).This carrier is easy to put on and take off and quite compact.However, it was not very comfortable for me (especially as she got heavier) since it put a lot of pressure on my back and shoulders.The fact that there is no waist belt and little padding on the shoulder straps probably contributes to this.The newer Baby Bjorn Active carrier with lumbar support may alleviate some of these problems.(I haven't tried this product though, so I'm not speaking from personal experience).We used the Bjorn until she turned 4 months (about 15 lbs).

I was so relieved when she could finally fit into the Ergo properly (with one leg on each side).It is so much easier on my back and shoulders.With the Bjorn, I could maybe last 15 minutes (at 15 lbs).With the Ergo, I can comfortably go for an hour or two (at almost 20 lbs now).I go grocery shopping and on longer walks this way.She seems very comfortable in it now.She's happy whenever I put her in it and will even go to sleep in it.(Sometimes, this is the only way I can get her to sleep).It looks a lot more comfortable than the Bjorn since she's sitting in it as opposed to being suspended from her crotch.I also don't have any trouble nursing discretely in the Ergo.

Around 6 months I also began carrying her on my back in the Ergo, which was even easier on my back.I have found this to be really convenient when doing things around the house such as vacuuming, doing laundry, cooking etc.It's also nice for outdoor activities like apple picking, strawberry picking, hiking etc.I find these activities somewhat more difficult when carrying a baby in front.While it is easy to put your baby in the front carrying position by yourself, it takes some practice to wear your baby on your back.At first, I needed somebody to help me get her situated on my back, but now I can easily do it by myself.Some may not like the fact that you cannot face your baby outward in the Ergo (and some babies may not like facing inward).This has not been a problem for us.While our daughter loved facing outward in the Bjorn, she did not object to facing inward in the Ergo.Rather than being pressed up against me, she's sitting in it, so she can still look at things to the sides.One more thing about the Ergo - I would recommend purchasing the sucking pads (ERGO Sucking Pads - Cream).Our daughter loves sucking on the straps and it's just much more convenient to wash the sucking pads rather than the whole carrier.

In summary, I think that both, the Bjorn as well as the Ergo, are good carriers, each with some drawbacks.The Bjorn is wonderful for a newborn up to about 12-15 lbs.Being able to have your baby facing in or out is a nice feature.Because of the strain on your back however, I would not recommend using this carrier with older/heavier babies.The Ergo is great for babies starting at around 15 lbs or when they are able to wrap their legs around you.It is much easier on your back and being able to carry your baby on your back can be convenient.For us, the Ergo was not very useful before our daughter turned 4 months as she was not comfortable with her legs on one side, but this probably depends on the baby.

I would rate the Bjorn 3 stars (because it's so hard on your back and we could only use it for a few months) and the Ergo 4 stars (because we couldn't use it with our newborn).My recommendation would be to get one of each if you can.We bought a gently used Bjorn for less than $10, and I have seen a lot of these on Ebay as well as Craigslist.Maybe you could even borrow one from a friend.It just seems like a lot of money to spend on something you aren't going to use for very long.However, I loved carrying my newborn around in it, so I wouldn't have wanted to do without it.

Lillebaby 5 Position Everywear Baby Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a first time mother and a compulsive experimenter of all "cool" and functional baby products, I have to admit that I am now on my forth infant/ toddler carrier.
I have been using the Lille baby carrier for a couple of months now and I have to admit that I love it.It has united the components that I liked from the other carriers and even added some upgrades.
Some features that work best for me are:
-The shoulder straps are narrow, allowing me put on a jacket over the carrier without the bulk.As a petit woman (5'3), the shoulder straps sit on my body, rather than slipping to the side.Once this carrier is on, it feels comfortable and never moves out of place.
- Her weight sits my hips, allowing me to takehour + long hikes with a 24 lb baby with ease.I have hiked with her on the front (front and back facing) and on my back.The different positions have been great for when my daughter gets fussy.As soon as we change up the position she relaxes.I have even had her on my side, allowing me to "carry" her without the weight on my arms.
- Lightweight but very durable. This is an easy carrier to use in the hot weather, and it is less bulky for packing.It fits under the stroller, in the diaper bag and even in a purse.

Overall, I am very satisfied and know that with the next child, I can stick with one carrier.

Disclaimer:As a professional baby planner, I received this carrier without being charged.My opinions are honest and true to my experience.I have already made recommendations for this carrier to friends.

BABYBJ?RN Baby Carrier Active Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was attracted to this carrier by all the rave reviews on Amazon.I like to hike, and live in a city where strollers are an inconvenience, so I thought I'd give this a try.I already have the original model, but this sounded so much better according to other reviewers.After using it for three weeks, my opinion is that this carrier is a slight improvement over the original when it comes to back support, but it's not a real carrier for truly active pursuits, and not worth the extra 90 bucks (or more) to buy it if you already have the original.

Problem 1

Although the lumbar support is a good idea in theory, I find that in order to get it to work, I have to tighten the attached straps to such an extent that my internal organs get squashed.I'm 5'9", 160 lbs, and I don't have a huge gut, but the lumbar just isn't tight enough against my back to provide support unless everything else in front is compressed to an uncomfortable degree, making it hard even to breathe sometimes.

Problem 2

An additional problem that I have found is that my child tends to sit considerably lower than in the original.He's 5 months old, and over 26 inches long, but unless I set the seat at the highest point (for children between 21-23.5 inches), he simply sits too low on my chest, and he still easily (and painfully) puts his little heels into my crotch on a far too-frequent basis.

Problem 3

The little flap at the front of the carrier, which can be folded down when the child is facing forward, constantly pops back up from the folded position to bop my kid in the face.There is no way to snap it or velcro it down, and the tensioner straps designed to aid in holding the child closer to your chest are insufficient to keep it lying flat once folded.

Problem 4

The shoulder straps are insufficiently padded, and as far as I can tell, have the same amount of padding as the original version.My kid is only 18 lbs, and after an hour or so, my shoulders sometimes get sore.I only wonder what hauling around a 25-pounder would be like.

Problem 5

The build quality on this carrier seems inferior to the original.On my second use, the red bracket that receives the red insert of the outer carrier partially tore free of the stitching, requiring me to take out dental floss and needle to stitch it back up.

Problem 6

Even when properly strapped in, I find that my son still bounces around and his back is too far from my chest for this carrier to be considered suitable for anything more "active" than a brisk walk.I have used it once to port him along for a mild hike, and felt that he simply wasn't sufficiently supported.I don't find this carrier's snugging system to be better in any way than the original.

Conclusion

Although this carrier is marginally easier on your back than the original, it is not adequate for more than extended brisk walks.If you don't have either carrier, it makes sense to get this one if you're particularly worried about your back or will be carrying a heavier child.If you're simply planning to carry your child around town for a few hours, the cheaper original model is sufficient.I am still waiting for a baby product company to offer a front-carry model for smaller children that incorporates backpack-style padded and contoured shoulder pads and a padded hip/lumbar belt capable of transferring weight from shoulders to hips.

BABYBJ?RN Baby Carrier Original Spirit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Over the course of three children we have had FIVE carriers: Two slings, a Baby Bjorn, a Snugli and the Ergo Baby.

The Bjorn is definitely the best looking and easiest to use. The clips and connectors are very intuitive and it's easy to get smaller infants into it.

My big complaint is that when the kids get larger (or if you wear it for more than 20 minutes at a time) it really starts to kill your back. This is because the design keeps all the weight on your shoulders. It's like wearing a backpack BACKWARDS!

The "Active" version has wider straps which provide additional support for a small improvement over the "Original," but it still puts all the weight on your shoulders, pulling them forward.

If you only plan to use this when grocery shopping and think you'll give it up when they're 6 months old, this might be for you. If you think you might want to go to the park and hang out, or use it even when the kid starts to crawl, then the Ergo Baby is probably more your speed.

p.s. this is coming from a guy who is 6', 180# and fit. My wife is smaller and far more critical of the ergonomics of this carrier.
