This is a larger, older child being carried in the new Beco Butterfly in backpack style. The chest and waist are both unbuckled. The child is secure because of the innovative design inside the carrier. Even with all her weight being worn on the shoulders, the ergonomic design made her feel lightwheight. It didn’t strain the shoulders and it didn’t threaten to slip off or feel unstable in any way.

The child is 2 years and 10 months old. When we were done, I took her off the same way I used to take off my high school backpack. Once her feet reached the floor, she figured out how to step out and easily walked away.
