Love, Love, Love! I used a sling and wrap carrier with my first, but wanted to try out a more structured carrier with my second baby. The Beco Gemini came highly recommended and I definitely don't regret the decision.

The carrier is easy to put on once you figure it out. The instructions didn't indicate that the straps have to be criss-crossed on your back, so it took me a few tries to figure that out on my own. I never got too hot with the carrier on and my daughter was very comfortable in it no matter the weather.

If it gets really dirty, the carrier can be washed in the laundry, hung to dry, though they do recommend that it be spot-cleaned and put in the washer rarely.

My daughter is now 5 months and still loves being in the Gemini. Highly recommended.
