Beco Baby Carrier Toddler Carrier with Extra Wide Seat, Toddler Carrying Backpack Style and Front-Carry, Lightweight & Breathable Child Carrier, Toddler Sling Carrier 20-60 lbs (Cool Dark Grey)

Product Information

The carrier comes in a matching zip up bag, has a hood, a matching holdall bag and is numbered by the founder of Beco on the inside of the carrier as these prints are limited edition. Let’s make this one big negative with a lot of little parts: as we tested it, the Beco Gemini carrier just didn’t feel comfortable at all. I have all sorts of reasons for that. For what it’s worth, not that I consider myself a baby whisperer, but Calvin didn’t seem to be a fan either. All the carriers in this list have been tried by parent testers. During the testing process we considered comfort, ease of fit, adaptability for different body types, number of carrying positions, fabrics used, design and appearance, and extra features. We also asked testers if they felt the product was worth the money. The LILLEbaby toddler carrier on its own weighs 2.1 pounds, and allows you to easily carry little ones that weigh anywhere between 20 and 60 pounds.

There may be places that are easier to sightsee around without a stroller. Especially places like Cinque Terre with a toddler. Can you carry a 2 year old in a carrier? Is there a toddler carrier for a 3 year old? Can you put a 4 year old in a carrier? Yes, Yes, and Yes I can admit that using a toddler travel stroller definitely has its benefits, but there are also many benefits to using toddler carriers for travel. Skip the infant insert: Ideally we wanted a carrier that did not require an infant insert (imagine a puffy mini duvet or a small pillow). Losing that piece makes a carrier both easier and less hot to use. Newer carrier models reduce the need for inserts with adjustable seat widths and panel heights that create a close, supportive fit whether the child is a newborn or a toddler.It’s good to be a baby. You sleep, eat, and when you need to go somewhere, you get carrier there. Well, at least that’s true if your parents buy into the baby carrier boom. How to clean a Beco carrier: with your washing machine in warm water. Don’t put it in the dryer, though. Hang-dry it to make sure the fabric doesn’t start shrinking and pulling. Hey, at least you’ll have your hands free to do laundry! In terms of comfort, given that my son is 2 stone plus, this carrier offers a very supportive carry and suits different body types. I’m 5’4 and slightly built and my husband is 6’0 and built like a rugby player and this carrier works equally well for both of us. The straps and waist belt are really well padded. The panel was plenty high for my 5 year old and the fabric was wide enough that his legs looked and felt supported. When I look at the images it appears that the seat is wider than the other two carriers even though the Líllébaby measures wider- this could mean it would be too wide for wearing the younger toddlers but it was perfect in our case. The padding at the edges is really thoughtful for the toddler’s comfort. I have found that wraps are most ideal for carrying your toddler around when you are doing simple chores around the house. Since they are very adaptable, they can be tied around your body in different ways to best suit your preferences, needs and body type.

LÍLLÉbabyCarryon Toddler Carrier– A versatile toddler carrier with adjustable features, lumbar support, and the ability to carry children from 20 to 60 pounds. I loved the wider and taller shape of the LÍLLÉbabyCarryon and found it so much more comfortable for both toddler and parent. Best Toddler Carrier for Long Use: I have to admit, it’s been really great babywearing again. I missed carriers and having my “baby” close to me. It’s not the same as wearing a squishy newborn in a ring sling or a chubby infant in the SSC but it’s been really nice to reconnect with something I loved so intensely about having babies. Like all baby carriers we review, the Beco Gemini is part of the structured carrier type of equipment. That means it’s sturdy enough to be (and feel) safe for all recommended sizes. At Fathercraft, we don’t dabble in slings or anything else that seems like your little one is about to go tumbling. Some other facts: My son is very tall for his age, but still wants to be carried all the time. He also has a hard time napping when he is not in my arms. When he outgrew his Baby Bjorn, I started to panic. Seeing how fast he got too tall for his first carrier, I want to make sure that the next one we bought would last a long time. I also wanted to find a way for my husband to wear the baby to relieve me sometimes. I have never owned or even worn a Beco before, so I was nervous. But this carrier is so perfect in the following ways:By using a travel carrier for toddlers, you still have free hands to chase your toddler instead of pushing a stroller. Based on my experiences with a variety of toddler travel carriers, here are the top features to consider before buying: Child Comfort and Safety

I tend to go against the grain when it comes to trending items. I never had the chance to wear my sons in the Tula when they were babies because it was just starting to become available as my babywearing days were on the way out. This was the first toddler carrier I tried. The Beco, stylistically, is most appealing to me and the options are almost all ones I adore. For the extra fashionable there are “Bekni” carriers made from woven Tekni fabric and they’re TDF (and also a good bit more price-wise).The Beco Toddler Carrier is our favorite toddler carrier for big kids. It has a larger panel, a deeper seat and cushier straps compared to our other toddler-sized carriers. This makes it a great choice for wearing older kids, especially if you are wearing them on your front. The Beco is well constructed and comes with a zipper pouch that fits your carrier perfectly when you roll it up. The pouch is made from the same material as the carrier and is NOT waterproof (a wetbag for the carrier included would be nice but the pouch is a total bonus, no other carriers include one that I tried). The carrier also comes in a great giftable box, A+ for presentation. Kelty also makes a standard and lightweight version: Kelty PerfectFIT Signature and the Kelty Journey.

It should also be pointed out that for children with special needs babywearing into toddlerhood and preschool is a godsend for the families. Toddler carriers that accommodate the weight and height of children up to 60 pounds are filling a need and judging by their popularity, one that is only going to grow as people see the value in extending their babywearing into toddlerhood and beyond.

Compared to some other models we tested, the Beco has the least amount of padding in the shoulder straps and waist belt. Both of those sort of dig into your flesh, especially if you wear it for longer periods of time. Come in many color or pattern options: Because you wear your carrier like an item of clothing, you should be able to get one that appeals to you. Babywearing consultant Angelique Geehan was one of several experts who mentioned that looks matter: “If you’re drawn to it and like the way it looks, you’re more likely to use it and to figure out how to make it work for you. Having one that fits your aesthetic is important. If you get something you’re embarrassed to wear, you’re not going to use it as much.”
