Beco Butterfly II Organic Baby Carrier with Black Base, Metro

This carrier is perfect for both me and my husband. Our daughter loves being held in the front position and falls asleep almost immediately once we strap her in. The Beco is easy to use, comfortable to wear, and our daughter is securely held in it.

My son slept very peacefully and was held very securely when I did housework, bending down to load the dishwasher, cooking, etc. It is very easy to put the baby in and take him/her out, and also to adjust the straps when the baby is in it. We found it very convenient to use going through airport security, as we could load and unload the baby quickly and easily, and with no metal parts I sailed through the security check. The small infant insert made it useful from just after he was born through now (almost 20 lbs), but I have not yet used it as a backpack, which it can do as the child gets...Read more
