Hellobee Boards

with my first i used a hotsling, bjorn, ergo and moby wrap... now with my second, my beco gemini has taken total center stage!!

I like the Ergo, but if I had to buy over again, I'd get a Beco, because it can be used with the child forward facing out.

eta: the Bjorn isn't recommended, as it dangles the child by the crotch.

I love my Moby more than life itself...but I'm tall, so I can get it on without it hitting the floor. After the Moby, we graduated to the Storchenwiege, which is a wonderful upgrade. The fabric is stronger, but gets sooooooo soft with more use. I wore Little G for over a year with the Storch.

Also, we had the Lillebaby, but sold it because the back panel wasn't long enough to hold Little G in when he would try to push out.

I had the Moby for when E was really little. She liked it for a while but not when the weather got hot. Now we use the Baby Bjorn Comfort Carrier and love it!

I got the ergo from my registry from the very beginning. It was okay, but I never loved it as much as everyone who recommended it seemed to. I also had the moby, I only got to use it for a short while as I think it didn't feel sturdy enough once DD got heavier and bigger. The fabric gave in way too much, she was sagging. I didn't want the Bjorn because I heard too many things about it hurting your shoulder and back and truthfully, I never liked how that thing hangs down the front and middle like a loin cloth. It's the single weirdest thing I've seen baby product wise. I ended getting a Belle baby carrier. I loved how easy it was to use and it was front and rear facing depending on how you needed it and it was also hip carry. Only negative thing was the top part of the carrier where it indents down for the baby to see was cut too high, it was always covering half her face. My mom swears by her old school chinese Mai Tai that my grandma just sewed together with left over fabric and passed down now.

@nycalimama is the beco gemini much better on your shoulders than the bjorn? I've never heard of it and it looks great! I used to really love the bjorn, but as my 6 month old gets heavier it's kind of a killer on my back. Also I'd love the option to back carry.

Wore the moby when she was a newborn cause it felt more secure than the bjorn but only at home since the fabric is cumbersome. Wore her in the bjorn active from 2-4 mos, then she got a bit too heavy for my back. Then bought a bjorn comfort carrier and wore her in that from 4 mos to 8 mos. Once she able to crawl, she didn't really want to be strapped in anymore so we stopped using a carrier. Plus, it was summertime and it was a little warm in the carrier. She just rides in her stroller now. Might put her back in the bjorn comfort carrier once it cools down a bit.......if she'll let me, lol.

Do people have opinions between the Beco Gemini and Ergo? Those are the 2 I've narrowed it down to but can't decide.
