I loved my Ergo with DS, but DD hated it (and every carry), but loved our WC Tula when I finally took the leap to get one. HUGE difference over the Ergo and much more comfortable. It fits baby longer as well and I think it has a much more customizable fit because you can adjust the straps at two different places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-beco-gemini-better-than-ergo-for-petite-people#post-2125444 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 19:33:42 +0000 clumsyatheart 2125444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm 4'11 and based on recs here, I bought the Beco. It saved my back and my babywearing experience. It isn't as cumbersome as most carriers and beautiful to wear. I always cross the straps and it's so easy!! Takes me 5 minutes in the car.</p> <p>The original ergo is too tall, the 360 is too cumbersome with too much material (I've tried both on and hated them). The Beco is just right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-beco-gemini-better-than-ergo-for-petite-people#post-2104991 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:36:44 +0000 rattles 2104991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not tiny, but I love that you can cross the straps on the gemini. It makes it feel a lot more narrow on my shoulders, which feels more comfortable and secure to me. It did feel less bulky than the ergo I tried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-beco-gemini-better-than-ergo-for-petite-people#post-2104977 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:32:36 +0000 jape14 2104977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a baby wearing expert, but I have found the Beco to be extremely versatile! I thought I would use the k'tan but I had a similar problem with the shoulders falling off (even with an XS). We have a Beco Gemini and my DH (6' / 160lbs), our nanny (she's tiny - maybe 5'2" and 100lbs!), and I (5'7" / 120 / very narrow shoulders) all use it comfortably! It's super easy to adjust between people as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-beco-gemini-better-than-ergo-for-petite-people#post-2104369 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:00:00 +0000 winniebee 2104369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friends gifted us an Ergo for #2 and I thought I would love it but just don't! It's comfortable once it is on....but I can't reach the clip in the back. And the straps are made for shoulders much wider than mine and fall off. I'm considering getting a Beco instead and selling the Ergo.</p> <p>Can any baby wearing experts out there weigh in? </p>
