I just snapped these shots of the Beco laid down, just to show the colors and shape better. The prints are Mia and Addison. They’re both blue but the style isn’t masculine so they’re a good cross-over choice for baby boys or girls, being carried by moms or dads.

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 lightweight. 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.

These are the very first amateur Beco Butterfly photos to share! Click images to enlarge, you can get a really good look at the fabric texture and construction that way.

The color is Pony Express, it is being worn in front carrying position. The built-in infant insert inside is laying against the outer wall of the carrier, the side with the “pony” print. If you want a good look at the infant panel of fabric, enlarge the last photo, looking down into the carrier body.

This is what would happen if you didn’t buckle the top.

These do NOT show proper wearing position!

This are only to to help you understand what is going on with the inside seat of the carrier and to demonstrate that the child is held in place even if both top buckles came completely undone.

Our very first Beco Butterflies are ready for order. We will be shipping these out as soon as Wednesday.

One happy thing about the new year is that Beco Baby Carrier company is now allowing us to spread information about the tightly-guarded new Butterfly carrier design.

I personally tried them out in September at the ABC Kids trade show, but I am eager to see the little changes that developed since then, and to make more photos available to you.

The Beco Butterfly is launching in four colors with more coming in months to come. The category page contains more about the improvements and radical innovation of this new product.

Updates, such as our 1st shipment date, will be posted both here and there. We are expecting early or mid January.

Another ABC Kids photo here- this is the Beco company. I was so glad to finally see the owner, Gabby, in person. We’re both Californians but not close enough for me to have seen her office or sewing house before. She’s a fabulous woman and a true innovator, so it was fun to talk while we could.

You can see some of our colors there, also if you try, you may find a sneak peak at new designs not yet in production… don’t worry, we’ll keep you as updated as we can, and we will carry the new ones as soon as possible!
