Thanks a bunch to Meghan for sending in real-life photos of her Beco. The toddler shown here in the front carry position is about 24 pounds and 32″ tall. The fabric color is Grace, a unique floral design that looks great on the Beco carriers.

New photo up today on the Beco Joey images page. Just a homemade photo to show the cool fabric print better.

The straps are espresso brown.  The baby carrier is $139 with free shipping and this is one of the popular winter fabrics that is not in production anymore so when it sells out it will be permanently unavailable to buy.  We have the biggest Beco Butterfly 2 store here.

Pardon the homemade quality of these photos, but we wanted to make this available right away even if the photography isn’t world class.

Ok, here we go. Opening the Beco box

Unfolding the Butterfly 2 partway with the pretty side down and all the straps showing

Flip it over and unfold the headrest / sleeping hood.  It arrived attached with 2 snaps to the carrier body and a choice of snaps on each longer strip attaches the hood to each shoulder strap.  The sides of the hood are elasticized now, so this was really responsive of Beco and will make it much more usable in the real world.

Close up of the Emma print . Check out the exciting little “custom edition” label right above the usual Beco logo. The dots on each side of the custom label are where the sleeping hood snaps on, but I took that off for this photo.

Flip it over and unbuckle the carrier body from the shoulder straps to reveal the infant insert inside. It attaches at the top of the carrier with smaller buckles.  See both buckled, see one unbuckled and pulled back, then see both unbuckled to reveal all sorts of safety and proper use info

OK, this next picture leaves the carrier exactly as above, but the angle shows you how the bottom of the infant insert attaches. see the velcro?  There are two fat velcro strips running vertical under all that writing, and the base of the infant insert is a fat horizontal peice of velcro. Together, this means you can adjust the height of the Butterfly insert to wherever you want it, eventually pulling it out entirely.

But then, what of the little buckle on the carrier body? If baby is 15 pounds and you don’t need the infant insert, what becomes of the stray buckle?

You hide it in the stretchy little sleeve on the strap right next to it

Hope this helps!

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.

to start, how do you put a sling on?

working with the rings and adjusting it

wear the rings high

wrap the sling tail to cover the rings

keep the fabric wide across your back, no twists

lastly, here’s a sweet photo of a preteen girl slinging her newborn sister with Zolowear

The Abby photo was taken on a sunny day at noon, the other two are in evening light.
The Sara and Abby Butterfly Carriers have black straps and the Natalie has brown.

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!
