Beco Baby Carrier $140 Review & Giveaway!

There is just a bond between a father and a child that no one can express with words.  It's so sweet, tender and loving. Daddy's are their protectors and eventually become their hero.  Daddy's deserve more than anything, to have that special bonding time with their baby/toddler. It's SO important that they have this time to build their own unique relationship.  Here is your opportunity to give "Daddy" his perfect Father's Day present!

Several weeks ago I was sent the Panther Beco Carrier for review. When working with the company, I was able to choose the carrier I wanted. I chose the Panther Beco Carrier for one reason. My husband. It looked awesome and I could totally see him sporting the aqua Panthers! Seriously... is that not the most awesome baby carrier you ever did see. 

I heard time and time again that "carrying the baby -like that- looks so girly"... "it's not comfortable to carry him like that"... "it's too hard to use"...Kyah's not comfortable"....  

After receiving the Beco carrier in the mail, I would like to share with you that my husband was the first to put it on and wear it. Not only here in the house, but out to run errands with Kyah.  It was wonderful to see them bonding and enjoying their time together.  The carrier has been so easy to put on, Kyah's comfortable at all times and it's stylish for mom and dad!

*Note: My son likes to have his hands/arms out and above the side straps. Do not ask me why. 

We have since used the Beco Carrier many, many times and will continue to use for many more years.  It made it's first appearance on my husband, in Target. It has since been to many other stores, the Arboretum, Water Parks, Neighborhood walks, and of course around the house. 

Here are even more features of the Beco: 

• It was designed by a mom! I feel that this is important for you to know. Moms designing things for moms=much better!
• It holds from 7 lbs to 45 lbs. This equals to many years of use!
• Front & Back Carry positions
• Easy on & off. With practice you will be able to put the baby and the sling on with one hand. It's really that easy!
• It has infant support. This is a smaller chamber for the smaller babies to rest in. This way they are not devoured by the carrier and it's safer! It also has an infant head rest/hood. All of this is detachable as the child grows. 
• It's machine washable, because we all know that this is a must with children. 
• It's adjustable for moms and dads. With the easy adjustable straps, you can switch off "baby carry duties" quickly. 
• Here is a video that I stole off of You Tube. She demonstrates how easy it is to put the baby in the carrier as well as how to turn the carrier from the front carry position to the back carry position. 

I'm not going to lie. We have tried several other brands of carriers (think of it, we tried it). They were ALL either unsafe, uncomfortable or very difficult to put on. Because it was so time consuming (and they were so uncomfortable) we often went without a carrier.  Talk about a life change when you get one that fits, is safe and is super easy to strap on. It's just makes life more enjoyable. Who would have thought that a little Beco Carrier would make me such a happy person!
