I got this a few months ago and I want to love it but just can't. It doesn't fit me right and the buckles are always in my armpits. That's basically my only complaint...the padded straps are awesome and I'm super sad it doesn't fit me correctly. Guess I'm just more built for my Beco.

Anyway, it's basically new. I'm not sure if I have the original box but I do have the instruction manual. Liam broke the CD (thanks Shrimp). It's been worn around the house a few times and only once while out. Never been washed or anything, but it's not dirty.

I got it on sale off Zulily so I'm hoping to get what I spent...so around $80 shipped? I'm also open to trades with another carrier, depending on what you have.

can you do comparison shots with the beco? I have a beco and I'm curious how this would compare.

Crystal, I just texted you, but I can bring my Beco for you to try if you'll be at the check tomorrow.

Ohh...pretty. How high is the back, like how far up the kids' back does it go? My Beco goes too far, the Ergo not far enough. This looks like it's in between?

I'll take pics of me wearing Liam in it and the beco tomorrow so you guys can see the difference.

I WANT THIS.

And dude, I could totally PP you now, and then you could hold it for me until I'm there, and then we could skip shipping.

Just sayin'.

Okay here are some pics of the Boba and a Beco. I didn't do any back carries because he hates being taken in and out of carriers so that would lead to a temper tantrum. You can see how confined he is in the Boba (which he HATES), and the straps are just too big on me and always falling off. Plus the strap/buckle is all up in my pits and rubs my arm raw. More so with a back carry.

Everyone else seems to love it...guess I'm just built weird.

I can see why that would be uncomfortable for you. You have to carry him up so high because of how the straps are placed and the waist belt isn't even around your waist. Even if you used it on a back carry, the underneath of the straps will cut you.

But you do look like a model for maternal love in those photos. I love them!
