Beco Butterfly

[Jewels]

Okay, so with all this Beco Butterfly talk I am wanting one. I am so kicking myself for not getting one in carnival when I saw them on sale :( I'm going to be babysitting 2 extra kids for 2 months and am needing something better then a sling for walking and playing outside. I have a double bike trailer/stroller but need something for my baby the 2 extra I will have will be in the trailer/stroller while we are walking.

Anyways, I'm ISO of a girlie Beco Butterfly. It can be EUC or even a link to one that is a great price. It has to be able to be shipped to Canada.

Thanks :love:

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the butterfly and the butterfly II? Is it pretty much just changes to the hood and the insert is now removable :confused:

I think the biggest difference is that the infant insert is removable-

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure.

Do you have one? If so do you like it?

I was also checking out this carrier (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16076693) but i'm not so sure about the ties . . .

You should check diaperswappers.com
They have a used carrier for sale section. I think I saw a Blessed Baby on there yesterday for like $30.

no, I'm in the same boat as you- wishing I'd bought one when I saw them on sale. dd isn't a fan of any of my slings. :(

I have one I am looking to sell. Never used, only tried on a few times. I think I am the only person who doesnt like it :o.

I dont know if its really girlie, but its not at all boysish. Ill get some pics in a bit.

I got it off baby steals for cheap, so I would only ask what I payed, probably a bit less.

Not sure if you know but i'm throwing this out there. What is the difference between a gen 4 and the butterfly and which one do I want :confused:

gen 4 doesn't have the infant panel at all (though you can get the insert separately). If Jen wasn't on vacation, I'd direct you to her. here are her instructions (http://car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=60037) for converting the butterfly to the 4th gen. so obviously, she'd say you want the 4th gen.

So the ones that were on sale at Cottonbabies were . . .?

[JOII]

Yea, I didnt like it because of all the different panels. It was too confusing and just seemed like to much. I just prefer a plain old mei tai, I find it easier. I was going to do the conversion that was linked but I was afraid of ruining the carrier so I didn't.

I cant get pics till later however this is the print...

Looking at it I guess it could be considered boyish?

[monsterling]

If the OP pass, I would be interested.... How much are you asking for?

That is nice of you, thanks :love:


They aren't allowed to ship them to countries that sell them. I'd take you up on the offer but after the exchange rate and shipping the $85US would be $107.64CDN add shipping onto that and it will be almost the price of a new one here.

I have a 4th Gen in Ella (IIRC) that I adore.

Having seen the Butterfly I (maybe it was II? .. it was Jen's pre alteration), I'd say you want a 4th Gen or whichever of the newest ones has a removeable insert.


Keep an eye out on kijiji and craigslist. :thumbsup:

We live in the boonies. We don't even have a craigslist :o

Thanks for all the replies and the help. I broke down and should have butterfly II in carnival coming to me. I can't wait :love:

[JOII]

I have people asking so I just wanted to update and say my Beco was sold. Thanks for all the interest!
