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).

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.

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.

I love this carrier! I'm petite (5' 1") and my son is about 15 lbs already and this carrier is really comfortable for me. I can take him grocery shopping and do a big shop and not feel any pain carrying him like I did with the Baby Bjorn. My husband wears him in the Bjorn. My son likes facing outward in the Bjorn better, but doesn't seem to mind facing me. He just turns his head from side to side to look at everything. I highly recommend this carrier!

After much debate over the Ergo versus the Beco, I went with the Beco. I was able to try on the Ergo in the store but the Beco was available only online-- so it was kind of a shot in the dark :-)
I have to start by saying the Ergo AND the Beco are GREAT carriers. You can't go wrong and will love either one that you choose. I liked the Beco just a smidge better for a number of reasons (more personal taste than anything).
First, the Ergo felt kinda bulky. The shoulder straps seemed a bit too pouffy and the rest of the pack seemed bulkier too. The Ergo is incredibly comfy too though. Secondly, I was buying a carrier for my first baby-- at the time 5 weeks old. The infant insert seemed pretty bulky and difficult, and it worried me a bit that the baby was just lying sideways in the carrier... it seemed kind of unsecured as there was nothing to prevent him from just sliding out the side (the 'burrito' of the insert and pressure between pack and mom are what keeps him in). Lastly, the style just wasn't as stylish as the Beco :-)
For the Beco: it is more 'streamlined' of a feel than the Ergo. Not as bulky without sacrificing comfort. The does have a few more 'snaps' to deal with than the Ergo-- however the Beco is based on outdoor gear backpacks so it was very intuitive to me anyways. For my 5 week old, I felt much more confident security-wise putting my 5 week old in it. There is an infant insert in addition to the main 'sling', so there is no way he is sliding out. I'm sure the Beco didn't intend for this... but I am also able to let my little 5-week old's legs stay criss-cross style (as opposed to opened up against my body) in the carrier. By putting the waist part underneat his criss-crossed legs, it allowed his weight to be carried more by his bottom & legs (rather than 'hanging' in the carrier). The main body of the carrier is also a little higher than the Ergo-- seems to offer more head support for a kid-o of any age. Although I haven't tried it, reviewers say it is much easier to put a child on the back than with the Ergo. Finally-- the colors and designs are incredibly beautiful. I bought the 'sky' carrier-- grey straps with a light blue front and cute little owls. Most designs are very girl-oriented (flowers, swirls, bright colors), and this was one of the few designs I knew my husband wouldn't mind wearing :-)
Overall, I couldn't recommend the Beco enough: as comprared to the Ergo... Positives: less bulky, more secure for an infant, higher main body, easier to put a child on the back, beautiful design options. Negatives: more clips to deal with (so probably more difficult to learn and more steps to put it on), a bit more expensive, probably not as great for a larger person or a larger male, your husband might not want to wear the girly designs!.

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!!
