Description of Beco Butterfly II Baby Carrier - Paige
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).Baby Products Reviews of Beco Butterfly II Baby Carrier - Paige
Customer Review: OK
Summary: 3 Stars
A friend sent me this carrier bc she wasn't using it with her kids anymore and knew I'm into babywearing. Overall I think it's ok, but not my favorite. Here's why:
1. It took forever to adjust everything for myself & baby to be comfortable. Especially the straps that clip baby into you-- they've made them, anti-slip so it's really difficult to adjust them while baby is in the carrier, but then when baby is NOT in the carrier it's hard to know exactly how long they need to be.
2. The infant insert provides nice support, but the extra steps to get baby into it mean this carrier can really only be used inside a home (as opposed to when you're running errands, etc). Thankfully, this problem is rendered moot once your baby's big enough to not need the insert anymore (mine was tall enough by about 12lbs to not need the insert's support)
3. I appreciate the Y-panel for a more secure back-carry, but it's annoying for a front carry.
4. The buckles to strap baby into you require two hands, but are high enough so that it's hard to keep a hand/arm around your baby while you're un/buckling them, which feels unsafe to me. Also, those straps could use a cover as baby's face and neck can rub on them (and they get chewed on a lot).
So. Overall, this is an ok carrier, and the designs are gorgeous. Once I finally got it all adjusted correctly, it's pretty comfortable to wear (especially if you make sure to put the hip-belt on correctly so that barely any weight goes on your shoulders). But there are enough small annoyances that make me prefer other carriers (like Beco's Gemini, or a mei tai carrier)
