I feel that a dedicated carrier for a hip carry, such as a ring sling, are far more comfortable for this position than the Gemini. By 9 months the snaps pop every time I place him in carrier, no matter how carefully I try, how gingerly I walk, how I am SURE to never bend at waist even an inch, no matter face-in or face-out carry. Birth to toddler, the Beco Gemini is easy to use, super comfy and keeps your precious bundle close to your heart! Adjusting between the two seat settings is ultra simple it simply fastens into either position using poppers. Best of all, with the added padding by the leg holes, you can rest assured that your little tyke is sitting pretty in style and comfort no matter how you carry!

But the brilliant thing about soft carriers is that you can stuff it in the bottom of the pram and bring it out for bub or toddler as the need arises.

It’s certified by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, and yes, the Beco Gemini is ergonomic to aid those little growing bones. You can carry baby on your front facing you, on your front facing outward, on your hip and on your back. The carrier material is completely baby safe (the cotton shell) and comes in whole lot of different designs which is nice (we got the ‘Arrow’).

Buckles are extra secure with safety catches - there's no danger of children unclipping themselves whilst in this carrier. Almost all buckle carriers can be divided into 2 groups based on the thickness of the padding of the straps - a) carriers with light, soft or even no padding and b) carriers with relatively thick, firm padding. Our certified babywearing consultants highly recommend the Beco Gemini as it is simple to use, super safe for your baby and very comfortable for parents of all sizes. The Beco Gemini features a supportive waistband and wide padded shoulder straps that can be worn backpack style or crossed on your back for discrete nursing and better weight distribution.You can position your baby to be in the normal front facing in position, facing out, hip and back carry. My new Beco carrier feels so good, no back pain,n and the cross back is WONDERFUL and feels so secure!
