Emma, Ethan, Chloe, and Aubrey Beco

Here are some homemade photos of the new Beco Butterfly prints. People have been especially curious about the words on Emma, which wouldn’t be read on the official Beco Butterfly images. But we have them now, so click to enlarge!

Admittedly, Ethan is not a new arrival, but we haven’t taken extra photos yet and it is an extremely attractive yellow and brown in person, I just had to show it off!

Beco Butterfly anatomy page is up

Today I made a page with photos of the Beco Butterfly Parts . I think they will be very helpful to people considering a switch from their 4th generation Beco to the new Butterfly design. The differences can be hard to tell from the outside but if you look from inside, you can really see it…

Beco Butterfly blue Mia with 26 pound toddler- right and wrong

This baby boy is 16 months old and weighs 26 pounds.

photos by bricks = right
photos by fence = wrong

All images enlarge in a new window if you click them.

RIGHT

The pictures of a front carry in front of the bricks demonstrate proper front carry positioning and everybody feels comfortable.

WRONG

The photos of a front carry in front of the fence demonstrate improper positioning. You see in the first photo, it looks mostly the same. but when we unbuckle the Mia fabric, it reveals that the baby is actually riding under the Y of fabric that belongs against the adult. this is safe and “did the job” but was not so comfortable. the baby is too “pinned” in there, and the straps extending around him meant there was less available for the adult to adjust, and that their curves and padding simply hit the wrong spots. If you’ve been doing this and thought it was working, don’t worry, but do look at the official Beco DVD and learn to put your child is the seat they are meant to ride in. You’ll both be happier.

WRONG back carry

This baby is pressed under the Y instead of in his seat. His chest touches directly to mom’s back and his back touches the carrier body. This would be the normal way to use en Ergo or an older Beco or a Pikkolo or one of the asian-style tie-on carriers, like a mei tai. It is NOT right for the Butterfly! The new Beco Butterfly was designed and safety tested with a baby riding in the carrier’s built-in seat. There is a seat area for a tiny baby and a seat area for a larger baby or toddler. Always use the seat!

A good look at the baby correctly buckled into the carrier harness. This allows a look at the inside. In this case, we were switching him from the wearer’s front to back without taking him out.

Butterfly carrier photos

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.

Beco butterfly homemade photos - part 2

Beco Butterfly back carry with older childBeco Butterfly worn unbuckled with large toddlerThis 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.

Beco Butterfly Pony Express with older childThe 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.
