Overheard on Monday:
DD: Hey, Noey is 8 months old tomorrow! What shall we get him?
Me: How about a baby carrier?
DD: Yeah, and I'll get him a 50mm 1.4. Then we're all winners here!
DD didn't get the lens but INoey did get the baby carrier. Yes, another one. Hand carrying Mr Wriggly these days is a workout in itself and with his current weight, the one sided slings are weighing down on my shoulders. Figured it was time to get something with better weight distribution. After some research and on the recommendation of friends, I decided to get the Beco Butterfly. In the carrier, Noey's weight sits on my hips and it doesn't pull down on my shoulders, which is great. Also it's not a crotch-carry carrier, which I prefer. Was always a little uncomfortable about Noey hanging from the Snugli that way even though he did honestly look fairly comfortable. The pretty print on the Beco is a bonus! :)
Thankfully Noey seems to like it, notwithstanding the fact that he's facing inwards. It helps that he has a strap conveniently positioned for a chew I suppose.
Well, the real test will be tomorrow when we hit the zoo!
I am sooooo tempted, babe! Now that she's so sticky to the Pupsik and seems to hate the stroller, my back is the big victim here. Let me know how Beco is ok? I heard raving reviews, so am really really tempted. But the price tag...:/
ReplyDeleteHaha, DD is so funny. It will be time before the lens get home eh? ;)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, nat doesnt like being slinged..huh.
Oooh, looking forward to see your pics of how noey enjoys the zoo!
welcome to the beco club! my record was 2.5 hours walking in japan!! hee.
ReplyDeletedid u buy it at the expo fair? A few of my friends have it too. Pretty! Heard it might be quite warm for long outdoor use though. But great for solo shopping trips. :)

ReplyDeletehe looked happy in it. it certainly looks more comfy than the usual baby Bjorn but did he get bored since it's not outward facing?
ReplyDeleteThe beco is a good buy :)
