We are getting many questions about the Beco Butterfly availability. Here is the latest information: We are restocked with lots of Carnival, Alison, Avery, Jacob, espresso brown, metro black, Natalie, Aubrey, Chloe, Ethan, Olivia, Abby, Sara and Isabella. These are shipping same-day and next-day.  Cherry with brown straps just came in!

The May and June fabric colors are shown below.

There are new maps on our policies page for delivery speed with UPS and Fedex ground services. You may find you live close enough to get overnight or 2nd day service at the Ground price.

Everybody is curious about how the May fabric prints look close up and in the sunlight. Our homemade close-up outdoor shots of Isabella and Olivia are here. Extra images of Abby Sara and Natalie are here. We also took photos of Aubrey, Ethan, and Emma - especially useful because you can clearly see the words in the popular Emma print.

The Kleen Kanteen sippy cups are here! These 12oz stainless steel bottles are super lightweight and BPA-free and come in such clean, smooth colors with avent brand sippy spouts on them.

There are so many Kleen Kanteen sippy reviews out there already, I thought instead of writing more I’d just link to some good ones.

Here you can see Baby Couture magazine picked a Beco Butterfly to feature this month.

You can also see the possible - but not officially recommended - front carry position with the child facing outward! Beco did not design the carrier for forward-facing, and so it is no wonder if some babies or parents  dislike the position, but, if it works for you, and your child is comfortable like in this photo, well, here’s how it does work.

PS- regarding colors, here is our everlasting blog thread about Beco carrier availability

PPS - the one carrier that IS designed for outward-facing while still offering proper ergonomics and materials for comfortable use lasting years afterward as a back carrier would be the Pikkolo

This is a great Moby Wrap demonstration with a baby in a front carry. Clear video, clear sound, good tips, I just had to pass it along for you.
The Moby is an excellent carrier choice for baby’s first year, it’s the sort of thing parents speak of as a lifesaver, an essential gift and something they used every day- it is so soft and stretchy, babies just love to be swaddled inside it and soothed by your walking movements. Also, a wrap offers so much flexibility about positioning and size, it works for everybody. Moby is just $39, so it’s a really affordable carrier for a newborn and the months that follow, and then most families graduate to a soft structured carrier -something with support on both shoulders and the hips, something for front and backpack style carry positions to take you through the toddler years.
