Beco 8-Carrier System for Newborn to Toddlers (3.2-45 lbs) All-in-One Hybrid Front, Hip & Cooling Mesh Backpack - Dark Grey

My little boy enjoys being in the carrier particularly facing outwards so he can see everything going on around him. The back carry is also really useful especially now he is a bit bigger. The carrier is also much more comfortable to wear than other carriers I have tried. Thank you to FA shopping for their prompt messages and customer service.

I wanted a good carrier as we go out and about a lot to various activities for my older son and a carrier is the easiest option for the baby so he is safe and I can play with the toddler, plus he can nap everywhere. Used it for a few months so far since baby was 3 months old. We use it every day. He is very comfortable in it. He's always been on the front, both facing inwards and outwards. He is happy in both positions as he can look around. When he needs a nap I clip the head support section up and he goes to sleep quickly and happily.I can easily put it on myself. Initially one of the clips were tough and I wasn't sure if there was a problem so I contacted the seller and got a really quick response to help.Pocket at front fits my phone in easily and the hood does a good job of keeping him dry in rain showers (it isn't waterproof but seems to soak up the water so his head stays dry!)Overall an excellent and good quality purchase and highly recommend.

I love this carrier, so sturdy & baby comfy too. I tried a few different ones & baby liked this one best. Great for travelling, just wished I started using it sooner! Worth the money

Very comfortable. Can nicely fit and carry my 9 month old for the better part of a day or long walk.Can be a bit fiddly rigging it up by yourself, I tend to enlist the help of my partner to tighten all the straps as my arms don't bend that far behind me. Though she seems to be able to do it alone without my assistance if I'm not around.

I alreasy own a baby carrier (hoodiecarrier from Love-Rarius) but i must say im surprised how confortable this one is, i love them both!I can only recommend the beco 8, versatile, very confortable and Baby can face the World !In one word: perfect

Very comfortable to wear

Way better than the other most popular brand. This suits me and my 9 months is happy. Easy to put on and I carried the baby for long period of time, no back/shoulder pain.

Great baby carrier, we tried most of the others. Love the design and quality too

Fits well for a 5'2, 120 lb person (tightest settings). It is sturdy and gives good support to the baby where I could truly go hands free. I used a wrap for the earlier stages and decided to invest in something more sturdy for when the baby got larger. Baby at approx. 9lbs fits in it but can't see over the height of the carrier; will need to grow more for that. Baby sleeps in it comfortably when settings are set for a snug fit. Have not tried it in the heat but can see how it can get quite warm. I love that it comes with an infant insert that is attached to the carrier for easy use. Wonderful product for half the price of some of the more expensive carriers.

Dopo mesi di utilizzo della fascia abbiamo deciso di provare con il marsupio per poter essere comodi fuori casa senza usare sempre il passeggino. Il materiale è ottimo e molto traspirante, il supporto lombare è fantastico perché non ti fa sentire in nessuno modo il peso del bambino (neanche con il mal di schiena)

Unglaublich tolle Trage. Vorher eine Mei Tai gehabt, bei 11,5 kg des Babys brauchten wir jedoch für den Wanderurlaub in Neuseeland eine Trage die den Rücken entlastet. Einige Tragen ausprobiert und das hier ist mit Abstand die beste Trage!Problemlos 14 km damit gehiked, geht auch super auf dem Rücken zu tragen. Sehr komfortable Lendenwirbelunterstützung durch entsprechendes Kissen. Super Funktion mit der Kapuze als Sonnenschutz und Dunkelheit zum Einschlafen. Auch der herunterklappbare Stoff perfekt für heiße Tage. Mit einem Handgriff auch an die Figur meines Mannes angepasst. Sehr robuste Trage, gut verarbeitet, hat einiges ausgehalten.Nichts zu bemängeln, nur sehr froh diese Trage gefunden zu haben.

Aunque sea “transpirable” esto en verano no se puede usar mucho. Aun crea calor. Y el bebé sale sudando. Lo uso en sitios con aire acondicionado. Le gusta mucho tiene un mes y medio y se queda dormido en el. Pero repito en verano con 30 grados no te puedes dar un paseo ya que es muy caliente para ambos el bebé y tu. Lo compré en 80€ aunque a la semana lo rebajaron a 71€

I was searching for a replacement for the Bjorn when my baby out grew it, he really enjoyed forward facing out, so I wanted to have that option. I tried out the Bjorn, Stokke, Ergo, Lillebaby, Tula, Boba. Of those that forward face out (the first 4), I found the Beco 8 to be the easiest and most comfortable. Because forward facing out is for when the baby is awake, and I would likely have to turn the baby around on longer journeys, I personally found that how the carrier converted into the forward facing out and back to forward facing in an important feature.Baby enjoyed all the carriers, but for me, a 20lb child needs to be properly supported so that it doesn't strain my back and the carrier need to be easy to put on and adjust.The Ergo fit low on me despite many adjustments and just felt odd, additionally it only goes up to 33lbs which I worried would leave me with a short usage period. It did have a easy conversion to forward facing out, but to me it seemed like the fabric was pinching the baby's legs a bitThe Stokke was very complicated, I took it home in hopes that having enough adjustable straps would ensure that I could make it fit, I just needed to figure it out right? Nope, no matter how I adjusted it, the shoulder straps put awkward strain on both my husband and I, the straps should have sat flat but once the baby was in it pulled away. The carrier was incredibly time consuming to get on--but you can do a lot of adjustments before you put the baby on you. The carabiners that hook on were cumbersome, annoying and truly just for show, a simpler snap/hook could have done the same thing and not been in the way (plus I imagine that hunk of metal near the baby's hands/head could get hot in the sun!). I wanted so much to like their carrier, but after a few weeks I had to return it.The Lillebaby fit pretty well, it was pretty easy to figure out and comfortable once properly adjusted. But I share my carrier with my husband and various sitters, so I couldn't just leave it in 1 position, I need to be able to adjust it frequently. The strap material did not slide through the buckles easily, thus adjusting the straps once I had the baby in was VERY difficult. I found myself putting the baby in, then taking him out to re-adjust, then putting him back in and so on. My normally chill baby would get frustrated with me, I would get frustrated, but after 2 weeks I decided to return this carrier. Also a big design flaw on the lillebaby is that to do forward facing out you must take the entire carrier off and struggle with removing the 2 loops on the belt portion (requires 2 hands) and snap them up. This was by far the most difficult conversion on all the carriers I tried. When I reviewed my difficulties with this carrier, not being able to easily switch from forward facing out to other positions was a big negative, if I was at the grocery store I would not have a place to put down my child while I messed with the Lillebaby. So I continued my search.The Beco 8 has exceeded my expectations for a carrier, it's comfortable, easy to use, has many positions and a few extra features that are nice to have. Out of the box, I quickly snapped on the belt, picked up the baby and put on the shoulder straps, done in moments no fidgeting no fussing. It was incredibly easy to adjust all the straps to fit and the chest strap (the center of the "H" shape if you wear it backpack style) adjusts up and down to fit many heights and weights. Being over 6' it fit my tall frame well, my other users also found it very comfortable and easy to adjust. I love the pocket, the hood, the cooling feature, optional lumbar support, etc. The front facing out is incredibly easy to convert, unsnap 2 snaps in the front and then snap them together, turn child around and put straps back over your shoulder. Baby appreciated the smooth action of the conversion and when he wants out (to eat or other things) I can get him out in a moment--release the chest strap, take off the 2 shoulder straps and you're done. The infamous safety buckles that this carrier shares with the Beco Gemini that require 2 hands to release are only on the shoulder straps (where a toddler could potentially reach and release while you are holding them), if you are wearing the carrier straps backpack style you will never need to undo these. If you are criss crossing the straps, depending on your method of putting the carrier on, you may need to undo them to take the carrier off. When I wear the Beco 8 with the straps crossed I loosen the straps so I can slide them over my head as opposed to undoing the buckles--because the straps are so smooth to loosen and tighten, it's easier for me to put the carrier on in this method rather than attempting to grab the unhooked buckle from behind. It is made in china in case anyone asks, but the quality on my carrier was great. One final note, petite users may not be able to use the lumbar support because the padded section of the belt extends around your waist a decent bit. All in all a fabulous carrier, I am really impressed.I did also enjoy the Tula and Boba carriers but because they had no forward facing out option, I chose the Beco 8. If I were looking only at forward facing in and backpack positions, I would have chosen the Tula. Also I did not get to try out the Beco Gemini that I am told is very similar to the Beco 8 and should be on your radar as well if you're looking at the Beco 8. If you're not sure, and want to try on a carrier, check out a local chapter of Baby Wearing International who lend out carriers https://babywearinginternational.org/ I highly recommend trying on a carrier before buying, the fit is different for everyone and feeling comfortable outweighs any color/pattern for me!
