The Beco 8 suits parents who want one soft-structured carrier to adjust from a small infant through toddler carrying, with a zipped panel that uncovers mesh and shoulder straps that can cross. Its 3.2-20.4 kg/7-45 lb range is not one setup: snap the infant insert closed at 3.2-4.5 kg/7-10 lb, leave it open at 4.5-6.8 kg/10-15 lb, then remove it from 6.8 kg/15 lb. Front inward carrying starts at 3.2 kg/7 lb. Facing out requires at least 6.8 kg/15 lb, six months, full head and neck control, and only limited awake periods. Hip carrying requires at least 6.8 kg/15 lb, four months and full head control; back carrying requires 6.8 kg/15 lb, six months, full control and independent sitting. Keep the baby upright, face visible and chin clear in every position.
