We have lots of friends with the ergo and their dh's wear them all the time, too. </p> <p>Our beco is purple with flowers but dh doesn't mind lol!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-702386 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:53:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 702386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to say the only reason I could see a man not liking the Beco is because of the cute patterns. We'll be getting a neutral or boyish one so he can wear it too, even though the girly ones are so cute. But we are team green, anyway, so neutral it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-702344 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:40:41 +0000 mrskc 702344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH has no issues with our Beco. He's 5'9" and about 170 lbs so similar to your DH. I purposely picked the robot pattern since it was more boy like so he wouldn't feel girly using it. He probably would not have cared what the pattern was tho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-702332 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:37:47 +0000 LittleFox 702332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH likes the Ergo. He's 6'3", but I'm not sure his weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-702218 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:04:22 +0000 teamjse 702218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought DH the Ergo and he did not like it. He likes the Stokke mycarrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-701655 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:29:00 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 701655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good to know! I've made my decision then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-701654 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:28:48 +0000 ShootingStar 701654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH is probably similar build to yours and we bought him a Beco Gemini. Actually, we bought one for both of us so we wouldn't have to constantly change the strap settings. We don't have a LO yet (still pregnant) but when DH tried it on he loved the fit. He also had fun trying it out with my parents' puppy in it (around 15 pounds) and had no problems. </p> <p>Personally I didn't want the Ergo because I didn't want to have to deal with the infant insert and I want to be able to use the carrier from the beginning. </p> <p>I tried on a few others in the store, I think the Boba was one of them, and the Beco was the easiest to put on and felt the most comfortable and secure to me. Is there anywhere you guys could try them on? We went to a cloth diaper store that had them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-701638 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:24:44 +0000 Beebug 701638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: My DH is about 5'11', 170lbs or so and uses the Beco all the time. Loves taking C in it, and of course she loves facing out, if that helps any :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-701624 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:20:33 +0000 Ginger333 701624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a bigger guy and he has no problem using my Beco. They have some really guy friendly patterns too, ours is Robots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-701597 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:15:53 +0000 mediagirl 701597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: 6'3, 250lbs. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-701560 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:06:42 +0000 betsyboop 701560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has worn the Beco and found it to be very comfortable. Our ergo had a petunia pickle bottom pattern so he refused to wear it and never tried it on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-701559 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:06:38 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 701559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: how big do you mean by "big dude"? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-701552 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:05:33 +0000 mediagirl 701552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's a big dude. The only carrier that fit him was the Ergo Sport (longer straps). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-better-for-men-to-use-becco-or-ergo#post-701546 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:04:25 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 701546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I think i have pretty much decided on the Becco because of the outward facing option. I think it's nice to have and there will always be pros and cons to both the Ergo and the Becco. It seems that dilemma comes from the fact that there are different pros to each, rather than the "cons" being an issue. Everyone seems to be happy with whichever carrier they have.</p> <p>BUT i think a few people have mentioned they like their Ergo because their DH can use it too? Does this mean the Becco's are not good for men to use? Does anyone's DH have a preference and why? My DH currently uses the Bjorn and has no issue with it...so I want him to be able to use whichever new carrier I buy.</p> <p>ETA: My DH is not overly huge, He is 5"8, about 170 lbs. </p>
