I was just at a store yesterday that had a Beco (idk what model, Ididn't even know until today there were more than one model).
Here is my experience with carriers. I have a baby bjorn, a snugli, a sling with rings, an infantino and I have tried different wraps on at the stores.
First I had a c/s and that made the carriers and slings uncomfortable to wear bc it hurt my stomach. The sling wasn't much better. In slings, carriers and especially wraps, I feel so trapped all that material drives me crazy (it has something to do with my ocd, I really can't tolerate it).
Once the c/s stomach pain went away, I tried them again. If I wore any of them for more than 5 minutes, my back would be in so much pain, I felt like none of them were comfortable, so I only wore them in case of emergency. It really made my life difficult bc my child really liked to be held and stay close to me, so I owuld spend the day holding her and not doing anything else.
Because I think it makes so much sense, I would really like to get another type carrier, but I really worry I will be miserable no matter what I try. With #2 on the way, I can't imagine not being able to cook and clean, so I feel the carrier is neccesary.
So I saw and tried on the Beco at the store, it didn't feel so bad, but I only had it on for a few minutes. Does anyone have opinions of it good or bad?
