[blparent] Ways to haul child when traveling

[Dena Wainwright]

The Beco is just like the Ergo, but it has a y-shaped insert stitched in. 
this insert is between you and the child. the child's arms slide in behind 
the arms of the y, and the tail of the y goes between the child's legs. it 
can be helpful when it comes to getting the child on, depending on how 
cooperative your child is. Elise would wiggle so much that she'd slip free 
of the y-shaped insert. I would then have to adjust her while she was on my 
back, which was not easy to do. so, for us, the Ergo was a better choice. a 
lot of these carriers are really up to what you and your child prefer.
