It looks like such a great carrier. And the insert doesn't look so bad. I imagine it could get hot, but I'm due in April in upstate NY-we have a bet as to whether or not there will be snow on the ground when I go into labor. I think I have a while to worry about baby overheating :)</p> <p>@Navy_Mommy: that's what I was thinking, too. I just wasn't sure whether or not it would be good to use in the beginning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beco-soleil-or-beco-gemini#post-1083567 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:14:53 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1083567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soleil times a million. </p> <p>The Gemini only has proper leg support for tiny babies, the soleil will be ergonomically safe MUCH longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beco-soleil-or-beco-gemini#post-1083475 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:35:47 +0000 lawbee11 1083475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I have the Soleil and love it! DD is only 6 weeks so we haven't gotten a ton of use out of it, but I have worn it around the house a few times. I did purchase the infant insert and she always falls asleep in it so I assume she likes it (the insert is supposed to be used until your baby reaches 15lbs). It comes with a hood, so you don't have to purchase one separately unless you want the fabrics to match (the one that comes with it is solid black). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beco-soleil-or-beco-gemini#post-1083433 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:15:33 +0000 LovelyPlum 1083433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have either? Do you like it? Pros/cons? </p> <p>I know that the Soleil can hold a bigger baby, but you need an infant insert. The Gemini can forward face, but that doesn't seem as big of a deal to me. I like that you can get a hood for the Soleil and that it has a pocket, but I wonder if it would be a pain to use the infant insert at first. How long do you typically need them, any ideas?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
