I never watched the DVD, but from what I know of it, I don't see how it
would go on your hip. I couldn't imagine feeling comfortable with the child
on my hip in busy places anyway, but that's just me.

>> 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.
