Carry On

Beco Butterfly Baby Carriers

After waddling around with a front load for nine months, you figured you’d get a break.

And you were right. Carrying your little bundle of joy is breaking your back.

Give your aching shoulders a time-out with Beco’s Butterfly baby carrier. The ergonomic baby pack, designed by a hiker mom, comes in an array of prints and solids, so it’s easy on the bod and the eyes. Plus, the built-in infant insert means it works for every babe, from tiny to toddler (up to 45 pounds).

So you can finally take a load off.

Available at Natural Resources, 1367 Valencia Street, between 24th and 25th Streets (415-550-2611 or naturalresources-sf.com); online at becobabycarrier.com.
