Product Information

The manual is okay but has a lot of pictures that interestingly take away from understanding how to use it. So as you can see, Gemini is still a SSC not a sling, but if you end up having to carry your baby on your hip – you sure can. Or, consider the Nalakai Ring Sling, a sling-style carrier that's even more straightforward than the Gemini and, therefore, much easier to use. Then there is a significant subset of parents who tell me they like the firm waist band of the carriers with thick padding but they find it too much on their shoulders, but then when they try a lighter weight carrier they like the feeling on their shoulders but don't like the more flimsy waist.

It's still worth knowing though, particularly if your purchasing a second hand carrier rather than a new one because its worth checking which buckles and if you can undo them easily! But of course, it’s only useful if you get the right version of it, which is where we come in–we’ve done numerous baby carrier reviews over the years, and compiled the best baby carriers of 2022, here. Beco Gemini is a 4-in-1 baby carrier offering four comfortable carrying positions – front facing in, facing out, hip and back carry. We solved this problem and disabled ours by carefully removing the part that buckles for the third (extra hand) release. It is worth noting that compared to other similar carriers - like the Ergobaby Omni Breeze, Tula Explore and the Lillebaby Complete - the Gemini doesn't last as long.I never quite feel like I can get the carrier tight enough around my waist to hold up this giant baby. You can position your baby in the normal front facing in position, or facing out, or in a hip carry or in a back carry. The convertible seat has two widths, narrow and wide, and which setting you use is based on the carry position and somewhat on your baby's size.

All three of them will take you from infant well into second year and have 4 carrier positions available. Still hate the extra secure button on the waist strap snap, but have been learned to do it one-handed.
