Beco Butterfly II Baby Carrier with Black Base, Avery Review

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!

Customer Reviews

Highly suggest! – D. Kubitz – Seattle, WA USA
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!

“Baby Bargains” readers BEWARE – this is NOT a forward facing front carrier! – J. Lindamood –
I gave this product 3 stars because it seems like a nice enough product, but I don’t see what distinguishes it from the less expensive Ergo Carrier, except fashion. I bought it because I made the mistake of believing the book “Baby Bargains” when it specifically said that what distinguishes it from the Ergo Carrier is the fact that it can be used in the forward facing position. However, this is not true! And I foolishly didn’t do my homework. I am not impressed enough by fashion to spend a few dozen extra bucks on the Beco Baby Carrier.

Not as comfortable for infants over 15lbs – BaltimoreMom – Baltimore, MD
I bought a beautiful Becco hoping that it would replace my bulkier Ergo for the summer months. In addition, the infant insert seemed intriguing to me. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the Becco to be as comfortable as my Ergo—which was sad because it really is beautiful. I found that once your infant becomes a little larger, the infant insert actually causes more strain on your shoulders. The extra panel limits how low you can rest the waist band on your hips. I’m only 5 ft 2 in, and found to make the shoulder straps comfy, I had to put the waist band slightly below my belly button instead of on my hips, so baby’s weight was not on my hips as I prefer. Plus, I found that trying to mount baby on my back already in the carrier/insert and swinging her on my back was really unstable and unsafe. It’s actually much more secure to put baby on your back and flip the carrier over her and not vice versa…imagine swinging a 25lb squirmy backpack on your back while trying to keep it totally upright…once you get one arm through and baby is hanging, it’s really hard to get the other strap on! One other alternative to the Ergo is the Boba carrier. I don’t have it, but is lighter weight and has a higher back than the Ergo…the two main features that are relative negatives of the Ergo. For now, I’m sticking with my tried and true Ergo…still using daily.
