Product Information

My one critique is that I do have to relocate the chest clip (which isn’t hard, it slips off and back on easily) to a lower position since my shoulders are larger. Size depends on the height of your child's legs, you want their legs hanging freely, supported up to the knee but not beyond the knee.

Consequently this carrier doesn't offer the option to cross the straps across the caregivers back when wearing on the front, but as most parents using this carrier will be back carrying anyway this isn't really a problem. The Izmi toddler has a very softly padded waistband which is shaped so that its very wide in the centre and then quickly tapers. This carrier is the one I reach for daily, it’s comfortable, easy to use and fits both me and my toddler well. The adjustable seat means that it will fit earlier than most other toddler carriers on the market and last longer.

Which does mean she struggles to get her arms out, which is always a bit of a source of frustration for her! I love that the two adjustments are separate - you can really get a great supportive fit on a wide range of different sized children as a result. High density foam waist belt for a close fit on the waist or hips, according to individual preference.

The Beco Toddler has wide, padded straps that are really comfortable and can be worn straight or across your body for extra support. Tom is supported way past mid thigh in a lovely deep squat, and then all the way up his back to his shoulders. Since writing this article Connecta have become Integra and the Toddler size has been renamed the "size 2", all of the above in terms of sizing and how the carrier fits is identical between the Connect and the Integra. The Beco 8 did seem huge at first in comparison, but it's much more structured and it will definitely last us a long time.Beco baby carriers and accessories are designed by an active babywearing parent, Gabby Caperon, and this understanding of what parents want from an ergonomic baby carrier really shows across the range. The padding on the shoulder straps is long enough that even with broad shoulders, I’m not getting pinched by webbing anywhere, but it’s also not bulky.
