Top 10 Reasons To Babywear!

#1- Everyone needs a hobby!

#2- Because baby’s face looks so cute out of the carrier like that!

#3- So you can single handedly take 3 children under the age of 2 to the zoo! 2 in the double stroller and 1 on your back!

#4- Because it BUGS your mother-in-law that you have become “one of those” crunchy mamas!!!

#5- It gives you something to dream about & shop for!

#6- How else can you fit in all the newborn snuggles necessary each & every day!

#7- When your daily to-do list looks like mine (feed 4 children, brush 4 sets of teeth, homeschool 4 children, prepare lunch, feed 4 children, etc…) your hands had better be free with baby outa the way!

#8- Truly, just because it’s just adorable!

#9- My mom wore me, and look how happy I am!

#10- To give baby the best view of the world - your smiling face!

Now THAT is a peaceful baby!

Which carrier for my 3 month old?

Try the Beco Butterfly II!!!  It has a built-in insert so basically you put the carrier on your front, load baby in, and scoot it around to your back!  No worries about baby falling or learning tricky techniques called the Hip Scoot or the Superman or the Santa Toss, LOL!! Those things are really fun to learn later on, but if you are just starting out, try the Beco!

A reminder about the CPSC recall

On April 22, 2008, the CPSC issued a recall (read the official recall here) on the Beco Butterfly I model.  Unfortunately, moms still ask me about this recall and are still worried about their buckles :(  ANY Beco carrier being sold through a retailer RIGHT NOW has the upgraded safety buckles and you don’t need to worry about buying a carrier that was involved with the recall.  BUT, if you are buying a used Beco Butterfly I, you will need to ask the seller to make sure that it was either retrofitted last summer (sent back to Beco and had the buckles replaced) or made originally with the safety buckles since any Butterfly I manufactured after the recall were made automatically with the safety buckles.  And if you have any ?s, feel free to ask us!

This is the buckle from the original Beco Butterfly:

And here is the retrofitted buckle which is standard now on all Beco carriers produced:
