I'm officially a "babywearer"! I was able to finally try out my Beco Gemini baby carrier outside this past weekend at the dog park and have used it quite a few times since then around the house. Although we were given a Baby Bjorn for my shower as a gift, we read quite a few reviews discussing how they killed people's back and weren't good for the infants spine. The Beco Gemini has had FAB reviews since coming out and is much more ergonomic making it better for baby and carrier. I LOVE how it barely feels like he is on me and the device is so easy to use. I feel like he's so secure and comfortable in the Beco. And yet another wonderful feature is that he can ride on our back, unlike the Bjorn. The Beco can also hold a child up to 35 pounds meaning Derek can have him when he is a toddler on his back down the road!
It's taken Drew some time to warm up to the carrier, but he falls right asleep now. He mostly faces in when around the house and he loves snuggling up to mommy in it while I cook dinner or clean the house!
So cute!! We went the Bjorn route (it can face forward too, just as an fyi) and it was hilarious wearing him around. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou are right! I mean to say it can carry on the back so I changed that. But yeah, it's so fun to play with these inventions for our time!
ReplyDeleteYou look AWESOME!! Oh, and Drew's pretty cute too ;)
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about the Beco! Glad you like it. I have an ergo which I think is very comparable to the Beco. And you look great Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the info on the Bjorn. We have a hand-me-down, but I have been using the Infantino carrier and Max loves it. Such cute pictures, Sarah! You make such a cute mommy!
