Beco Gemini Review | Tested by GearLab

Fit kids in a wide age and weight range: We found that most parents want a baby carrier that offers enough support for a newborn and enough room to lug around a toddler a couple of years later. We eliminated prominent models that work only for infants up to 25 pounds, which means they typically won’t last past 16 to 20 months, per the CDC’s charts on boys (PDF) and girls (PDF). We wanted carriers that worked for infants as well as bigger babies, and we eliminated models designed just for toddlers.Other Occasions & Loved Ones Gift Guides All Other Occasions & Loved Ones For Teens For Grandparents For Bridal Shower For New Parents For Any Occasion Skip the infant insert: Ideally we wanted a carrier that did not require an infant insert (imagine a puffy mini duvet or a small pillow). Losing that piece makes a carrier both easier and less hot to use. Newer carrier models reduce the need for inserts with adjustable seat widths and panel heights that create a close, supportive fit whether the child is a newborn or a toddler.

Little Alessandro was as happy as could be in the Beco Gemini, and I was calm, felt secure and even stayed relatively cool while wearing it during a particularly steamy July. Four months in, everything suddenly changed. My son started crying and protesting in the carrier. After a traumatic trip to the grocery store where Alessandro screamed nonstop in the carrier, resulting in uncomfortable stares from other patrons and even a few tears from mom, I was desperate – what had happened?

My son, Alessandro, was just on the cusp of having light hip dysplasia. His pediatrician told me I should utilize the carrier as much as possible, making sure his legs were out to improve his hip flexibility and range. I noticed that with the Beco Gemini, it was easier for Alessandro’s legs to sit and splay out, whereas the Ergo was more conducive to his legs staying inside, especially when he was tiny. The carrier also has various settings, flaps and adjustments that can help the baby get comfortable enough to sleep (with additional head support) or in the right positions to breastfeed or bottle-feed. The other difference is that the Cool features a breathable 3D mesh over much of the carrier, partnered with a silky soft feeling material over the rest. While the standard is finished all over with a soft, brushed cotton. Parents often worry about whether the mesh is scratchy. I have not found it to be so. It is not as soft as the cotton, so if you are someone who is very sensitive to texture, you may well prefer the cotton. I always advise feeling both before you buy if you can to ensure you are happy with how it feels to you. However, to me, the mesh while not quite as soft as cotton is still soft enough that I am happy to have it directly against my own skin and against my children's.

Babywearing consultant Angelique Geehan was one of several experts who mentioned that looks matter: “If you’re drawn to it and like the way it looks, you’re more likely to use it and to figure out how to make it work for you. Having one that fits your aesthetic is important. If you get something you’re embarrassed to wear, you’re not going to use it as much.”
