[blparent] Carriers?

[Leanne Merren]

Hey LM,
Which Beco are you speaking of?  I ask because I have the Butterfly II, and 
it does not carry on the side as far as I know.  I have used it both front 
and back though and I absolutely love it.  I still carry Kaelyn in it and 
she's 3 and weighs 35 lbs.  I used it when I flew alone with her when she 
was around 2 years old, and we had a long way to go on the train from the 
airport to the hotel.  I put the hood on it while I was wearing it on the 
front, and I could let her recline in it and take a nap on the train, and I 
sat comfortably without her putting strain on my back.  The ride was almost 
an hour long.  I was impressed that I could still let her sleep in a carrier 
at 2 years old.  I probably looked pretty funny with her on my front, a 
backpack diaper bag on my back and pulling a rolly suitcase. :-)  But ya 
gotta do what ya gotta do.

I also had a wrap when Kaelyn was small but it was the Ultimate Wrap from 
BRU.  I loved carrying her in that, and I could even nurse her in it and 
keep my hands free to do other things.  With 2 other kids that helped a lot.
