Are you ready for another giveaway hop? Mama’s Got a New Look is winding down (have you entered the grand prize yet?) and Snug as a Bug is just about to start. Lindsey and I have another awesome Grand Prize for you all and she’s been sharing some of the sponsors with you over on her blog, So Easy Being Green. Well, today I’ll be sharing a sponsor with you – Beco Baby Carriers and the Beco Gemini!

Beco Baby Carriers sponsored our Travelin’ with Baby Event and now they’re back to be a sponsor for the Snug as a Bug Event. too! The Beco Gemini has quickly become one of my favorite carriers – and I have A LOT! My own personal stash is quite large and I’m the leader of my local babywearing group so I keep the lending library with me between meetings. So what does that mean? I have access to a wide variety of carriers on a daily basis and I almost always choose the Beco Gemini! Here’s why…..

1. It’s EASY: Since it’s a Soft Structured Carrier (SSC), it’s easy to get on and easy to get off. No complicated wrapping involved or loads of fabric to maneuver. It has buckles that you simply clasp together and you’re good to go. The buckles are ultra safe and come equipped with a special safety mechanism that requires you to use 2 hands to open (although if you practice you can do them 1 handed if you let your baby’s weight help you!). This is a great feature for curious toddler hands! Something else that’s easy – I can change carry positions without putting Haley down. It’s that easy!

2. It’s VERSATILE: Newborn to toddler, 4 different carry positions (see photos below), adjustable base width, adjustable head rest, and so on and so on! If you only want to buy 1 carrier – then this is the carrier for you!

3. It’s FASHIONABLE: Have you seen the prints? Go look – I’ll wait………………………Awesome, right? They’re modern and fun, yet guys will like them, too. That scooter print? Eric would totally rock that. I have the Sunset Espresso and it’s so very pretty and very ME!

4. It’s SAFE: Did I already mention that? Well, it’s important. Safety buckles, high quality tested materials, organic options, adjustable for your baby’s safety and comfort.

Want to see it in action? I’ve got a picture for each carry option with a few helpful tips!

Have I convinced you to try a Beco Gemini yet? They’re awesome and you totally should!

BUY IT: You can purchase the Beco Gemini, like the one I reviewed, from select retailers and Amazon for $129. That’s a comparable price to other SSC on the market. And trust me…..it’s worth the investment.
