The carrier is the LAST thing I have yet to buy.
I tried on an Ergo and didnt like it and from what I have been told the Beco is more "short torso friendly".
Who has either of these and why did you choose it?
I like the internal sling concept in the Butterfly and am honestly leaning towards that but not 100% sure. I dont know anyone who has either of these so I am looking to you ladies to help me decide.

I haven't heard of the butterfly, just the gemini. Subscribing as I'm interested to see what the responses are!

I haven't used either yet, but I am leaning towards getting the gemini because it has a front facing option. I know a few people with Ergos who said their babies got upset if they couldn't face out-- I know it's not good to do for a long time, but I like to have the option. I don't see myself back carrying very much, but I think the Butterfly is the easiest to get on your back especially if you are by yourself.
But like I said, I haven't tried either on yet.

I have the Butterfly and it's awesome. It doesn't forward face but that wasn't an issue for me because I wasn't planning on forward facing my DD anyway. I love the internal sling. It's so easy to transfer the baby from one person to another, and also from front carry to back carry. I've never tried the Gemini so not sure how that one works. But I do love my Butterfly!
Let me know if you have any questions about the butterfly!

@banana: @Weagle: OK yay! I am going to be by myself a lot with DH leaving for so long. I guess the one thing that interested me the most about the butterfly was the internal sling.
Wanted to see what others thought between the two.

i have the gemini and love it! the internal sling in the butterfly is super cool for sure, but i've never had a problem putting baby into the gemini on my own. and i love facing him out on occasion! 
i haven't worn him on my back yet, though, and i imagine that would be easier to do if it had the internal sling? perhaps!
