The Classic Beco Gemini Soft Structured Carrier

Keep your little one close while you dash around town, breezing through mommy/daddy duties hands-free. Suitable for all-day use, Beco Gemini allows you to carry your little one in a seat that’s comfortable and safe for both of you.

The original 5-in-1 classic soft structured carrier in modern form. Tailored to your busy lifestyle without any of the distractions. Fully adjustable with 5 different positions, for your 7 lb newborn right up to 35 pounds!

  • Featuring shoulder straps that can be worn straight like a regular backpack or crisscrossed. Crossing the straps is easy and can be done when wearing your child on the front in the infant or toddler position. Crossed straps can alleviate back pain by distributing your child’s weight evenly across your back and shoulders.
  • The wide, supportive waist belt is key to ergonomic babywearing for mom and dad. Positioned on your waist, the belt transfers most of baby’s weight to your hips and legs. Your legs are your strongest asset and this will save your back from unnecessary strain.
  • The Gemini’s seat is adjustable, too! Just snap it together for a narrow seat that will support your infant starting at 7 lbs. Legs out is the way to go! This ensures that your child’s hips are able to develop normally, circulation is never restricted and there’s the added benefit of “look at those little toes!!”
  • Features included: large pocket on the waist belt designed to fit your phone, keys and other indispensables. A built-in headrest for support or added height, safety catch on your shoulder straps buckles, sternum strap on an adjustable rail, breastfeeding release buckle under your arm.

    I find this more comfortable to wear and less cumbersome than ergo baby 360, which is a good carrier, but this one is much more light weight, easier to transport, and is less bulky to wear.

    I really love this carrier and what an amazing price for it. After struggling to get to grips with a wrap and many failed stressful trials later I did an evening of research with this carrier coming up as a great all-rounder. 2 days in and I’m very happy with my purchase. Super easy to put on and take off, my 11 week old fits perfectly and loves it. All the weight goes on your hips rather than your back and I’m looking forward to many many more adventures out.

    Brilliant carrie

    The straps cross in the back but there is nothing to secure the cross in place in the center of your back and occasionally the straps slowly slide up until the majority of the weight of the baby is on your neck.

    Easy to use although I do find it helpful with my partner to assist with the back strap but thats only because my baby is so young. But great product my baby loves being carried in this its very light and simple.
    However I did have to find YouTube videos on how to use with newborn as the instructions put my baby at risk as she was too small. (Adjust the hip strap to belly height so there’s more fabric under babys bum) other than this its a great price and cant wait to put her facing forward when she’s big enough.

Previously I had a soft wrap carrier and my baby didn’t like to stay in it, and it took a while till I tried one of this kind of carrier.

    Very good value for money product and exceptional quality. Really sturdy straps and it is comfortable on your back as the straps go across in a ‘X’ which distributes weight more evenly. Yes it is easier if someone helps you put baby in carrier but I can do alone. The little pouch at front is handy for keys, cards etc. Would recommend and happy with purchase.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersIt’s just lovely. I Would recommend this to anyone who is cack handed and struggles with many other wraps …Honestly, this is simple, effective and comfy.

    I’ve only carried baby forward facing on my Front. She’s 4 months old. I found facing her to my chest she would become fidgety and fussy and look for the boob, I don’t actually want the carrier to be associated with feeding, So I always top her up before putting her in. A wrap for me is needed so I can get the washing up done and prepare meals, walk the dog etc. Baby wants to be close to me at all time. And this wrap has made it all possible, it’s a god send and I’ve got 3 others so it’s coming from experience. It’s a little high for her at the moment with her being faced outwards. but she is so much happier looking around. Her nose hits above the fold, so she can breathe easy and I pop a muslin in the front as she likes to suck on the material, So I can change it when it gets to wet and she doesn’t have cold wet material on her face.

    I brought the dusky pink and grey and I love it. I’m yet to try the back position. But I’m sure after watching some YouTube videos it’ll be easy.

    Also, you may feel there are alot of straps and hangy bits when you first start out, but everything just needs adjusting and neatening up. I don’t notice the excess dangly bits anymore.

    I really do love how easy and comfortable it is. And how at ease I am that I can move around without feeling the need to hold her. There are elasticated bits on the side that act as a safety mechanism. And they work a treat. As I’ve unclipped them many times forgetting…and the straps don’t budge. So they work well,

    Really is a must for those wanting to keep baby close whilst getting some essentials done at the same time.

    I’ve tried lots of different carriers, but chose this as a stage on from a stretchy newborn carrier. I have found this to be more comfortable than other buckle carriers due to the padded waist belt and the crossover straps. The pattern is lovely and the quality is great for the special offer price I paid. The pocket in the belt is useful too.

    I’ve used this carrier so much, even for hikes. In fact I never even use a stroller because I find a carrier more efficient and also better for a happier baby. Being able to breastfeed on the go with a carrier like this makes life with a new babe so much less stressful and gives back some freedom. The only downside to this carrier is in summer time it’s pretty hot which is why I got a second all linen carrier for summer hot days!

    I am so happy with this purchase, we have been using it for our baby since he was a month old and now he is almost a year old(23 lbs). It has adjusted so well and its always been comfortable. We take it on walks, stores, actual hikes in the mountains, and he’s always done very well with it.
    I have tried ergobaby, all kinds of cloth wraps, Chico carrier, and a couple more ( we got a lot fo hand-me-downs), and this is BY FAR the best and only one we use.
    My back is extremely sensitive to weight and I do perfectly fine. Now that he is a much bigger baby, putting him on backpack style distributes the weight much better.
    Its a very breathable carrier, too! We are never overheated in it.
    STOP LOOKING NOW! HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

    Got the organic one, it is supper soft! I have babybjorn as well, gemini is much much softer. It takes couple times to get used to putting it on, but once you’ve mastered it, it is pretty easy. Great for the back. Babybjorn was not giving the needed support.

    Great carrier. Nice that it doesn’t need an infant insert. Takes a bit to get the hang of it at first (especially since we were pretty scared of anything to do with our newborn at first). The structure of it is good for walking around outside and not worrying about things loosening. Can be a bit awkward to sit in it for long periods if you don’t have a long torso. Fits my husband and I both comfortably. It has fit our daughter really well from a week old to several months.

    Downsides are minimal:
    – the black shows a lot of lint. Having to run a lint roller over it now and then is a little annoying but fine.
    – she chomps on the straps, so we wrap bibs around them. It’s machine washable but says it shouldn’t be washed too often, so we can’t let her just go to town on the straps and then just wash it after each use.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is the best carrier, especially with the Cool Mesh! I hated several from Infantimo including Flip 4 in 1, Go Forward, etc., Ergo 360, and the Bjorn. I’m 5’9″ with a larger frame and this carrier is very comfortable and distributes the baby’s weight. I really love the added option of the “hip-carry” – not many carriers offer this. It’s also very breathable! We spent long hot summer days using this without any chaffing or feeling too hot or weighed down.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWe love this carrier- it works well for me (5’2″) and my husband (6′), and it makes it possible to babywear in the Philadelphia summer, which is pretty central to our lives. This carrier also packs down and fits into a diaper bag without too much fuss. The only thing that I don’t love is that the mesh leaves an impression on my daughter’s legs if she isn’t wearing leggings/pants, but it’s not enough of an annoyance to impact the way we use it. If you’re on the fence you should go for it!

    I tried this carrier at a sling library so I knew that it was comfortable for both me and my baby boy. The difference with other carriers is that it crosses at the back so it offers more support. My son is 5 months and weighs 8 kg but I can use the carrier and I get no back pain. The only drawback is that it doesn’t come with a cover which needs to be purchased separately. The item arrived very quickly and it comes with instructions for all 4 positions.

    We bought this carrier for our 3 month old after hiring one from our local sling library. We absolutely love it, it’s a great soft but structured carrier and feels really supportive. Our daughter was treated for hip dysplasia with a pavlik harness and this carrier keeps her in a hip-safe position. Slumber Roo also gave really great customer service and made sure we got the carrier that we wanted really quickly. Thanks Debi 🙂

    Excellent baby carrier, incredibly comfortable and a lot less structured than some other bigger brands. Very easy to use, but do read the instructions. Our 9 month old daughter, who previously hated any kind of carrier, absolutely loves it. We especially like the multi way of using the carrier. Very soft material and easy to wash too. Overall great value for money.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersFab. Comfortable for baby/ parent and easy to put on. Used Caboo organic exclusively for 3-6m (which we loved) but needed a cooler /more structured carrier for summer months/longer walks in UK. Tried a few at local Sling Library and found this to be great alternative to Ergobaby360 Cool; just as versatile, easier to wear and a better fit (in our case) plus less expensive.

    Icing on cake is that UK distributor v helpful on telephone re product, stock etc.

    4 not 5 star because clips are a bit awkward and straps would be easier to pull into body than away.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersGreat carrier! I’ve owned and tried quite a few and this is definitely the best, especially as you don’t need an infant insert, it’s a four position carrier and ergonomic. I was worried it would be a bit of a faff switching from a very simple sling but not at all. I can already feel the difference in my back! Great support and baby (3 months) seems just as comfortable and happy to go to sleep in this carrier as she was in the sling. Not too fiddly to get on, you just have to remember to hold baby in place as you undo the straps!
    Lovely lightweight fabric, perfect for these hot summer days.
    The clips were the only problem I had initially as they were sealed shut. Seems to be a problem that affects a small number of carriers and Slumberoo called me straight after I emailed to tell me how to fix them…use a spoon to click down the safety cap. Not a problem since. Would recommend both the carrier and the seller.

Once my daughter hit 20 lbs, I needed something that distributed her weight differently than the Baby Bjorn. The Beco Gemini takes all of that weight off of my back and shoulders and distributes it to my hips on up. Simple to use & my daughter loves it. I wish I would’ve purchased it sooner.

    I tried both ergobaby 360 and beco Gemini when looking for a forward-facing baby carrier. I ended up go with beco because it is simpler, less bulky, fits my petite figure better(I’m 5’2″) and the crossed back straps provide better support for my back. The only drawback is the lack of sunhood, but it’s not a deal breaker for us.

    Finally, a carrier that both me and the baby enjoy! I love that the straps cross in the back for better weight distribution and security. The straps lay flat against me so that they don’t rub on my sons face when he is in front carry, facing in position. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that you have to use two hands to undo the clip locks/buckles that secure the baby in place- only a minor annoyance. I’d buy this carrier over the Ergo which my son hated because the straps rubbed on his face and he never felt secure in it.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI originally thought about getting the Bjrn and looked at it in John Lewis. It really looks nice BUT then I read many reviews on this site, Mumsnet and others saying that it is great, comfortable and well made but after only about five minutes the parent’s shoulders and neck hurt. I just took my two and a half week old daughter, who now weighs 7.5 lbs, for a 55 minute walk and I can honestly tell you that, when i got home, I felt not even a tiny twinge of pain or discomfort in my neck and shoulders. In fact, as I was arriving home, I couldn’t believe that, after 55 minutes, it was almost as if there was no weight bearing upon my shoulder area at all !!! My baby was extremely comfortable the whole time and barely fussed a couple of times. The rest of the time, she was almost asleep.
    At first, it is a bit of a pain to get the straps adjusted to fit you while your baby is screaming at you that she doesn’t like it but once it’s all adjusted and you’ve used it a couple of times, it will be like riding a bike.
    Do yourself a favour and pay a bit more for this one. Trust me, it’s well worth it !

    Golden Review Award: 15 From Our UsersMy search for the perfect baby carrier ended when I purchased this one. I’ve tried my fair share of baby carriers (Bush Baby Cocoon, Wilkinet, Manduca, Ergo Baby) and this one is my absolute favourite. It’s easy to adjust so both my husband and I can easily swap it between us, is padded and comfortable and has a nice headrest that can be folded down out of the way. The adjustable base means it is perfect for my son’s little legs now, and will extend as he grows so he continues to have good support for his thighs. I find it very comfortable to wear and have walked several miles carrying my son without any problems. I would highly recommend it, but would also say that baby carriers are a very individual thing, so although it works brilliantly for me, I would suggest trying out a few first to see which one suits you best.

    Golden Review Award: 23 From Our UsersI’m so pleased with this baby carrier. I had a baby bjorn carrier with my first child, but ended up hardly using it as it hurt my back and neck after her being in it for 5 or 10 mins. However, this one is so much more comfortable. I’ve used this lots with our second child. She has severe reflux (among other things) and was not happy in the pram or car seat as she needed to be upright. I was hesitant in spending a lot of money on another baby carrier, but this has been a lifesaver. I put her in it when we’re in the house and I need to get jobs done as I can’t physically hold her all of the time. After walking around for 5 or 10 mins, she normally drops off to sleep and is so much more content. I also put her in this when I’m out at the shops and can carry her for a long time before getting tired/achey. The waist/hip band takes a lot of the pressure off my shoulders. The carrier is also nicely padded without being too bulky. This carrier can also be used from newborn because it has a good head support. One feature that really suits my daughter (as she was prem and is small for her age) is the fact that the base of the carrier where she sits can be made narrower ensuring that her legs are in the correct position. As she gets bigger, I’ll undo the poppers so that the carrier will grow with her. Overall, I’d definitely recommend the Gemini carrier!
