Baby Must Haves: Beco Baby Carrier & Giveaway!

Baby wearing is not only beneficial to bonding between baby and parent, it frees up our hands for multi-tasking!  Yes since I’ve been home from delivering Mason, I’ve been doing the laundry, cleaning house (Hubs does the big stuff) and even playing with Kenzie and her toys.  I’ve also been blogging on down time instead of “napping/resting”.  I know I should take a break but there’s so much to do!  Being able to wear Mason not only calms him but allows me to “work”. 

The Beco Butterfly 2 Carrier in Robots is perfect for Mason.  Not only is the print cool and boyish, it pops against the black body of the carrier.  The carrier also comes with everything for use from infant to toddler which means 7lbs to 45 lbs!  Since Mason was born at 7lbs 14 ozs (Kenzie was 6lbs, 15ozs), he qualifies for a ride in the Beco Butterfly 2 at this time.   He needs to use the infant insert and head rest which are both included.  This carrier is different than others I have used with Kenzie.  However, the instructions are pretty simple to use with an infant.  After figuring out the measurement of the insert placement (just velcro into place based upon your baby’s height), you can place baby into it by laying baby on the carrier and bringing the insert over the belly and attaching the straps. 

You then bring the main panel over baby’s belly and attach the shoulder straps. 

Place baby onto your lap then put the shoulder straps on, then adjust the waist band and clip into place.  Then reach over the head to attach the chest strap and pull down on the shoulder straps for adjustment.  Easy peasy and your baby will love it. 

The entire carrier is machine washable which is a definite plus for me.  The materials are of quality: black is organic cotton and robot print is cotton.  You can use it in both front and back carry.  Just check the instructions to make sure your baby is safe.  I prefer front when young then switching to the back once they reach a heavier weight.  The carrier is also light (1.8 lbs) so you can toss it in the diaper bag or leave a spare in the car for when you are out.  Mason seems to be content riding in his Beco Butterfly 2 and the sleeping hood is large! 

His weight is supported in such a way that his body is not strained nor is it contorted into a funky position.  His hips and legs are comfortable as is the head support.  I’m comfortable carrying him in the Beco Butterfly even during my post-baby body recovery state i.e. walking hurts. 

Buy It:  You can purchase the Beco Butterfly 2 in Robot Print for $140.  It also comes in solids and other fantastic prints.
