I have been trying to decide between the Beco Gemini and the Cat Bird Baby Pikkolo carrier. Both seem to offer the same features (front and rear facing, on the back and on the hip.) They both received an "A" rating in Baby Bargains, similar reviews on Amazon and are both priced comparatively. SO...do any of you have any experience using either one of these or have any comments / advice to share. Help me make up my mind!
I use a pikkolo but have never tried a gemini. I have a Beco Butterfly that doesn't fit me well so I am loathe to even try a Gemini. I still carry DD who is 3 in the pikkolo.
I have the Beco Gemini, I like it, I also have the Action Baby Carrier (ABC). The ABC has a light weight fabric and much more inexpensive, but you can't have the baby face out, this would be best during summer. The Beco Gemini is cuter, and can have the baby face out, I don't think I will use this during the summer since DS gets hot quickly. This place lets you rent before you buy for a small fee, I haven't done it but its a good idea.
I tried on both with my ds at a local shop. I ended up buying the gemini. It was much more comfortable for me. We don't get hot wearinv it and ds seems to like it. He will nap in it all the time.
