Question 1

Will this work for plus moms sizes 18 and up?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  I am 5'11", size 22 top and 26 bottom, about 44" waist and 55" lower hips, and the original Gemini (without the pocket on the waistband) fits with waistband room to spare.  I wear it with the waistband fairly high because I find that comfortable, but I did try it sitting on my hipbones and it still had room to spare.  I have not tried the newer Gemini with the pocket, but the listed measurements are similar.  I wore mine with my baby up through 18 months, and only stopped because of the cold weather and the fact that she enjoys walking.  Now that it's getting warmer and we may walk on longer trips again, I plant to try it and see how it works with a larger and heavier child.  My only complaints were the lack of pocket (fixed) and the location of the chest clip for back carry, because it sits too close to my neck and is only slightly adjustable.

Question 2

Can I carry my baby face out with this carrier?

Accepted Answer

Hi Jessica - Thank you for the question!  Yes, you can carry your baby facing out in this carrier :)  The Gemini offers 4 different carrying options: front facing in, front facing out, back carry, and hip carry.  We suggest waiting until your little one has full head and neck control before using the front facing out option.  Let me know if you have other questions, I am happy to help!  Kind Regards, Kristin, Beco Support, help@becobabycarrier.com

Question 3

Anybody know if this carrier is easier to adjust than the Lillebaby?

Accepted Answer

Hi Sandra -  Thank you for the question!  The Beco Gemini is easy to adjust and offers crossed straps or standard "back pack" straps.  We have a wonderful customer service team that would be more than happy to help you every step of the way to get the best fit possible with your carrier :)  If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out!

Question 4

How does this Gemini look after washing?  Please let me know which design you have.

Accepted Answer

I have had two different Gemini carriers, the first one was limited edition Travis in black with a white tiger design.  I soaked it in white vinegar before I washed it because another reviewer recommended it so the black wouldn't fade.  It worked; I washed it three or four times and no fading.  The black fabric did show lint like crazy.  I closed the strap in my car door by accident and it got ripped off by my tire, such a stupid and expensive mistake!  I bought the River Expresso design to replace it and soaked it in white vinegar again.  Washed it a couple times, maybe 3, and it looks good.  Doesn't attract lint like the black.  I wouldn't recommend black fabric just because of the lint.   With both I air dried them, and never put them in the dryer.
