Why I love the Soleil...

Cross-able back straps when wearing a baby/child in the front carry position. I love how easy these straps are to adjust.

This is idea for people like me who are petite or narrow shouldered. It allows the weight of the baby to be evenly dispersed on your back instead of all the pressure being placed on your shoulders.

You can also hip carry and back carry in this carrier.

Versatile carrier that can comfortably carry from newborn (with insert) to 3 years old.

Featured in the photo on the left is my 2 year old. Still nice wide seat and goes up nice and high on her back.

The hood is great as it can detach, so you don't use it and lose it and is great for cover during naps or from the hot sun.

I began my babywearing journey with a Baby Bjorn and fell in love with the lifestyle of babywearing. I quickly tried all the carriers I could get my hands on including: Nature's Sway Pouch Pack, Tula, Nature's sway sling, Manduca, Diva Milano Mei Tai, Beco Toddler, Beco Gemini, Moby stretchy wrap and a Girasol Diamond Weave woven. I am so glad to have babywearing as one of the main tools in my parenting handbook.

I never thought I would love it this much!

The Beco Soleil is great for active parents and grandparents and I highly recommend it.
