Product Information

Both the width and length of the carrier can be adjusted, allowing this carrier to very smoothly adjust incrementally from around 10 months (minimum of 8 or 9kg) all the way through to 4 years (max of 20kg). I say usually because on certain days he completely rebelled and I was forced to carry his heavy body to and from. I also love how comfortable it is - until I tried a Connecta for the first time, I always used to equate padding with comfort.

The straps are also extremely long which means this carrier works really well for plus sized parents too. Meg Beilsmith Collins started Lucie’s List in 2010 after learning everything about babies the hard way; she is now the Editor in Chief. With a fantastic ergonomic fit for both adult and child, you'll enjoy the benefits of toddler wearing for much longer than you expect!It smoothly adjusts to accommodate children anywhere from 6 months old all they way to beyond 5 years of age. My one critique is that I do have to relocate the chest clip (which isn’t hard, it slips off and back on easily) to a lower position since my shoulders are larger. If you’ve been a parent before you realize this Extreme exhaustion, pure stubbornness, sickness, whatever it is- sometimes even older kids want or need to be carried. The Beco Toddler is a generous carrier that allows you too keep carrying your child up until pre-school.

Adjusting the strap length and waist belt is easy so swapping it between parents and carers is no problem, no matter your size. Make sure you follow the advice, particularly relating to the minimum and maximum weights for each carrying position. For small parcels we tend to use Royal Mail 1st or 2nd class and these are usually sent 'signed for'. Tom helps give an idea of those carriers that are a bit more roomy for those who might want to carry a much older child.While the shoulder straps are relatively wide but very softly padded which means the shoulder straps do not feel overly bulky and fit very comfortably over the shoulders. The panel was plenty high for my 5 year old and the fabric was wide enough that his legs looked and felt supported. Tom is shown in the wider setting and on this wider setting he is supported to at least mid-thigh and again has a great seated position with his bottom lower than his knees.
