4.0 out of 5 stars Great carrier, could use a few tweaks November 8, 2010
I spent a lot of time online researching this carrier before purchasing it for use with my newborn, as it had just come onto the market when I purchased it and I wanted to make sure it was worth it. All in all, it is the most supportive and comfortable carrier (for the parent) I have used. I have an Ergo, a Babyhawk Mei Tai, a Moby wrap, a ring sling, and a hotsling. I purchased this one because of the compelling, additional feature that it allows babies to face out, as in the Baby Bjorn (which kills your back and is not ergonomically fit for baby). We went for a long hike with my son when he was 7 months, and after using the front, side and back positions, he really wanted to just face out.

First of all, I put this carrier on with my 33 month old while I was 38 weeks pregnant, and it was actually comfortable (granted, I would not have taken a hike, but it was as good as I can imagine, better than Ergo). I like that for toddler (it is rated up to 35 lbs), the back goes up higher than the Ergo (they can back-arch and threaten to fall out even as a baby in the Ergo). This one feels much more secure for a toddler. I have put my toddler on my back since having the baby, and it is still comfortable -- well, more so, as there is no big belly there! This would be my choice (out of the ones I have) if I needed to carry a toddler in a carrier for a hike or the airport or something.

Second, I used this carrier with my newborn. To use the carrier for a newborn, you snap the bottom part in so that their feet can go through a smaller opening. The feet do hang down, like in the Bjorn (not like the Mei Tai or Ergo with infant insert, where legs are inside carrier in froggy position). My husband says he has trouble sitting down with the carrier on because baby's legs are uncomfortable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Ergo Because of Versatility! July 12, 2011
I have a lot of carriers--the Hotsling Adjustable, the Moby Wrap, the Baby Bjorn, the Ergo, and the Beco Gemini. If I had to do it over again, I'd go with just the Beco Gemini, and maybe the Hotsling.

The Beco Gemin is superior to the Ergo because of its versatility. I will say that I like the hood on the Ergo better than the pop-up collar on the Gemini, especially for privacy when nursing (I'm sorry I waited so long to try nursing in the carrier...once I was brave enough to do it, it was so easy!) or when the baby is sleeping. I also miss the Ergo front pocket on the Gemini. The buckle for the Ergo is easier to unlock one-handed. But the cons of the Gemini stop there, and are far out-weighed by the fact that I can do front-facing or inward facing with the Gemini.

My son loves facing outward, especially now at 13 months, but even when he was much younger, if he was awake, he wanted to face out. The Ergo was only okay for him if he was taking a nap or nursing--then it was great--but the Gemini does the same thing, and does outward. Before I bought the Gemini, I was toting along the Baby Bjorn (incredibly uncomfortable and not ergonomic! but does outward facing) or the Moby (don't love it for outward facing--getting my son to sit lotus-style was hard, and if I didn't tuck his feet up, it didn't feel as secure, not to mention the incredible amount of fabric that dragged the floor while I had to set him down to put it on...to much work!). I already tote enough with the stroller and diaper bag...two carriers is too much.

I loved the Hotsling far more than the Moby when he was a newborn, but he did outgrow it. I never found the sitting position on the side for the Hotsling to be easy or secure, but maybe I just never mastered it, once he was too big for the sling.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT WASH THE METRO BLACK GEMINI February 17, 2011
We purchased the Metro Black Gemini when our baby was born 5 months ago and just started using it about 2 months ago. I decided to wash it for the first time last week and followed the instructions that were given. It looks HORRIBLE!! The material faded badly and it looks to be about 10 years old now! I emailed customer service and they told me that it was due to the nature of the organic fabric and dyes that were used. They recommended spot treating instead of washing but that was NEVER stated in the directions! You can't actually spot treat when your child vomits or drools on half of it. I do love my carrier but will be purchasing another one (not a Metro Black Gemini) soon because it looks so worn and old. For $130 you would think you would get superior quality, but sadly this wasn't the case with Beco.

1.0 out of 5 stars Two handed "child-safe clips"??? Are you kidding? August 2, 2011
By Sarah
This carrier has all the potential of being the best on the market. It is *very* comfortable. It doesn't require an extra infant insert. It allows both front and back facing kids, on your chest or your back. It has one fatal flaw. All the clips on it are "child-proof" requiring one hand to hold the safety clip down and the other hand to pinch open the clips. Really??? Are we now concerned the under age 1 kid is going to "open" clips like this? The result is that you literally cannot escape the carrier after putting it on. Once there is a baby + carrier + post-partum you in the carrier, it is impossible to wrap both arms all the way around to reach the clasps (granted, I am short so my arms are not long). The only way out is to loosen the connectors with one hand and weave your way out, BUT I did this and the narrow webbing folded up on itself, thus locking the carrier in place! I had to get help to get out of it while calming my 5 week old.

I often wish I had three hands. Top rated products are things that only require one hand. This product fails that mom test.
