We are getting many questions about the Beco Butterfly availability. Here is the latest information: We are restocked with lots of espresso brown, metro black, Ethan, Aubrey, Emma, Chloe, Ava, and Isabella. All orders are shipping same-day or next-day.

Our next shipment comes at the end of the month. It includes lots of the beloved Carnival and three beautiful new prints: Abby, Sara, and Natalie

There has been a lot of curiosity about how the fabric prints look close up and in the sunlight. Our homemade close-up outdoor shots of Isabella and Olivia are here. We have photos of Aubrey, Ethan, and Emma here- especially useful because so you can clearly see the words in the popular Emma print.

thanks to kmcscott / Katie for letting us share your youtube videos of the Beco butterfly!

Photos of a mom and a dad with 18 month old toddler in a back carry. Next time we do this, we’ll show the hip carry and front positions too. All photos are with the Appletini green carrier with black straps. The mom is not wearing the optional chest strap, but the dad chose to. For her, the memory foam kept the straps in position just fine, and she didn’t want the extra step of a chest strap. But the dad tried it both ways and found he preferred using it. It probably depends some on your body type.

Both are wearing it too “low” in the outdoor shots- at the top of their hips instead of at the natural waist as suggested.

more, with better positioning, higher up so baby can see. The straps are worn backpack style, but for a front carry you would cross them, making an X on your back.

Here’s a shot of me and my girl. I don’t carry her on my back much because she is almost 3. When we go out she usually walks while I carry baby brother, but this photo shows us at home.

It was December, I needed to ship packages, she wanted to cuddle.

The carrier is a Beco 4th generation in Metropolis.

I’m glad to announce we’re all stocked-up again on Pikkolo baby carriers!

There is one new color too, a solid khaki. I love when products come in basic colors like that, because some customers really appreciate something a dad will want to wear on a regular basis. Pikkolo already comes in all black, but the khaki matches some people’s clothes or taste better. I’m glad we have both now.

Also, CatBird Baby posted some Pikkolo wearing tips on their blog today.

This homemade photo gives a good view of the body panel of a 4th gen Beco in cocoa butterfly print. This fabric is another nice gender-neutral choice because it is made in shades of blue, brown and khaki but the design has a touch of femininity, so it can go both ways.
