The “chest” strap (strap connecting shoulder straps) comes off relatively frequently and this is a nuisance. I still really have to focus when I get bub into back carry mode but that’s probaby because I don’t put her in the back much and haven’t developed a rhythm. The Gemini has a simple, refined designed that gives you all the options you need and still looks good.

It is also a fab choice for parents who want those extra features and will use them and don't mind the extra bulk. The Beco 8 by contrast is bigger, the panel is bigger so it will last longer and it has more fe Froggy position wasn’t an option either, as she would just push her legs in between me and the waistband, no matter how tightly I wore it. it is so comfortable to wear that I barely notice the shoulder straps at all and have no upper back pain, baby is very comfortable in it (she has happily spent up to an hour in it so far) and she can face outward to see the world around her. This carrier offers four carrying options for baby and has the ability to cross the shoulder straps for mom or dad.We are linking to the Cool in our review, and you can compare the Beco Gemini on the left with the Beco Gemini Cool on the right in the photos below. Although like any carrier at all it has to fit your body, and so it's really worth trying on before you invest.

The Beco Gemini Baby Carrier is one comfortable, practical baby carrier with a definite sense of style. I found that the dinner hour – when both are tired and cranky – was just impossible without a carrier and my old Bjorn was not suitable because I needed Go-Go Gadget arms to cook beyond where my bub could reach.

If you’re looking for a safe and comfortable way to carry your baby, look no further than Beco Baby Carriers. I also like that at the end of each strap, there is an elastic band sewn in so that you can roll up the excess strap fabric and not have the straps dangling off your sides. While other carriers add all the features, all the buckles and every size you could ever need, we love the simplicity of the Gemini. The Beco Gemini back carry is probably our favorite, but when you have to go against your instructions on how to use a Beco baby carrier just to make it more comfortable, you lose us.
