From the desk of a very busy mommy!  THANK YOU to Robin K. for taking the time to provide such a detailed comparison!

“I purchased the Beco Butterfly II from Paxbaby.com after seeing how much Beco had improved the carrier since my 4th Generation Beco came out.  My 2nd daughter was born in March, & I was desperate to use a carrier/sling again especially since I have a 2 year old to keep up.  I tried several other slings I have including my 4th Generation and either it didn’t ‘feel right’ or my baby was just not big enough for it yet.  Even with the infant insert for the 4th Generation I felt my daughter wasn’t as safe b/c of her small size.  After receiving the Butterfly II I was amazed at the improvements!  It feels more comfortable which I didn’t think was possible, the back/chest clasp is now sewn on, the clasps have an extra safety feature, the infant insert is a great bonus as it didn’t come with the old version plus it actually raises the baby higher, and now you can switch the baby from front to back with the baby in the carrier.”
