These versatile and stylish baby carriers are made from 100% organic cotton and are, of course, machine washable. The Beco Gemini baby carrier comes with safe adjustable straps and foldable head rest.

A special feature of the Gemini carrier is the ergonomic adjustable base for different size babies. Use the narrow base on for newborns and the broad base for older babies. This is to give you the utmost support and ensure a comfortable distribution of baby’s weight.

Why are Beco 4 in 1 Gemini Carriers so versatile? This is because they can be adjusted to 4 different positions for babies and toddlers (7-35lbs).

You can wear baby facing front (in and out). Don’t forget – front facing only is recommended for newborns and it’s easy to breastfeed in this position.

You can then use the Beco Gemini as a back carrier when baby can hold her head up, around 3 – 4 months. This also applies to the hip position – baby must have full head and neck control for this. These last two positions are especially suitable for toddlers and older children.

This is the ideal baby carrier if you want something to last you from newborn to toddler stage. There’s no doubt about it - Beco Gemini 4 in 1 baby carrier offers you quality, durability and versatility. You won’t need to buy another baby carrier as long as your child needs one!Be sure and look at our video link for demonstrations on how to use.

Safety Tips

Safety Tips

• As with any type of baby carrier, always inspect your Beco Baby Carrier for damage before using and follow all instructions.
• Never perform any task that could be dangerous with your child in the Beco Baby Carrier. Use common sense!
• Always double check that the buckles are connected properly. Never unbuckle the waist belt while the baby is in the carrier.
• By purchasing this product, you acknowledge that the Manufacturer or Distributor accepts no responsibility for injury/damage due to the use/misuse of this product. Your child's safety is your responsibility.
• Be sure you have help getting your baby into and out of the Beco Baby Carrier until you become comfortable with it.
• If you are starting out with babywearing, do so over a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or carpeted floor covered with a blanket.

Please observe the following while wearing your baby:

• Please support your baby with a hand or two while you and your baby are getting used to the sling.
• You and your baby will become more comfortable in time and you'll be able to free one or both of your hands. Please, DON'T GIVE UP! Babywearing takes practice just like all other parenting tasks. You can make the process easier by making sure that baby is fed, rested and happy before you try the carrier the first few times. Also, be sure to pull the top rim of fabric up to cover the entire back of your baby to avoid a "backdive."
• Never wear your baby when cycling or riding in the car.
• While cooking at the stove, use only back carry position.
• A sling doesn't substitute for a car seat.
• When bending, please bend at the knees, not at the waist, and hold the baby with one hand while reaching with the other.
• Never drink HOT beverages when wearing baby, although your sling will come handy for eating, especially in restaurants.
