Anyone have a beco butterfly 2?

[Anonymous]

Hopefully in the DC/VA/MD area?
I'm thinking about getting one for my own use because I've heard they're good for shorter people, and that's me! but I'd really like to try one on before I pay so much for one.

I've tried the ergo and I'm not really a fan. :-/

Anyone have a beco butterfly? Would you be willing to meet up somewhere public so that I could try it on?

In the DC area you can go to a monthly "babywearing" meeting. You can try on (with child) any kind of carrier. Anyone know where?

Thank you PP! I did a google search and found a blog about the group. Will look into it to see if I can try on a carrier.

A lot of baby boutiques will have a variety of carriers to try a swell. I have a beco...gemini or butterfly...whichever one doesn't face forward. I like it better than the ergo which I loathe entirely. I like bjorn active the best. I got my beco on ebay for about $70 and it had never been used.

the beco butterfly was recalled so be careful. That's why they changed the buckles on the beco butterfly 2. (I know you said it's never been used, but just in case)

Mine has the newer buckles, bite thanks for the tip. It didn't come with instructions so I went to the website and learned that. I seldom use it anyway.

I have one, and while I can't meet up, I am short (4'11"). I've used it for three kids, and lengthwise it's great. The only thing that I think is still too big is the width between the shoulder straps even when adjusted as small as possible. It does fit better in the winter when I have on bulkier tops.

there is a website that offers trials with carriers, I believe it is 10 and you keep the carrier for 14 days, then send it back. You can purchase that carrier and your 10$ goes toward it. It is called Heavenly Hold.
