Can't wait to try them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-a-beco-or-mei-tai#post-232321 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:42:12 +0000 banana 232321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the beco butterfly too. I agree with @mrs.bee. I like the way you can stick your baby in first and then put the carrier on. If your husband plans on wearing the baby too, it's easier to use the beco because you can transfer the carrier from one person to another without taking the baby out. I also like that it's not as bulky as the ergo. And plus it's just cuter too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-a-beco-or-mei-tai#post-232219 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:09:47 +0000 Red 232219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to use a mei tai for my LO. It takes a little practice getting it on quickly but I like it. I don't think it's as comfortable as the Beco or as user-friendly but I like it because it packs up smaller, which means I'm more likely to take it with me on trips. I mean, what good is a baby carrier if you don't have it when you need it, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-a-beco-or-mei-tai#post-232199 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:02:50 +0000 MsLipGloss 232199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a Beco Gemini, although I haven't used it yet. It was recommended over the Ergo because butterbean can forward face (while being worn on your chest), and you can put it on by yourself. It can also be used for a long period of time (0 mos. - 3 years (I think)). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-a-beco-or-mei-tai#post-232118 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 10:36:03 +0000 Mrs. Bee 232118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just got a beco butterfly II and really like it. i always had trouble with the back strap on the ergo and lillebaby. on the beco you have two front straps so it's easier to do the waist and back strap first, stick in your baby, then do the front two straps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-use-a-beco-or-mei-tai#post-232116 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 10:34:50 +0000 Weagle 232116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my RS, but I need something different for longer wears. The Ergo is pretty comfortable, but I just don't think it fits me well. So, I'm planning on trying the Beco Butterfly II and a Babyhawk mei tai. Anyone have experience with either of those? Thoughts? </p>
