Beco Gemini vs. Boba G3
I am trying to decide between these two carriers. I didn't carry DS, but now I think that it will be helpful (DD due in October and DS is just turning two). Any experience/advice with either? Thank you!!!

Beco Gemini vs. Boba G3
I have the Boba and LOVE it! This is my 3rd or 4th carrier. When I was pg with number 3 I knew carrying the baby would be easier. When he was born, wearing the other carriers I had with the twins all day was hurting my back. My friend introduced me to the ergo which is pretty much the same as the Boba and I loved it. She let me borrow it at a party and I wore DS all day. My back was fine. After some research I found and went with the Boba and have been using it for months now. DS is almost a year and we still use it all the time. My 2.5 year old DD was super clingy one day and I used it with her so I can get some stuff done. Love my Boba!!

We have a boba also and love it.
Not sure if you've seen this, but I found this chart very helpful when I was trying to figure out what to get.

Re: Beco Gemini vs. Boba G3
I own both of these. I think Beco 3G is best for little babies and heat waves, but kills your back once they get around 20 lbs. Gemini is better for heavy, squirmy toddlers, but not for little babies.
Beco 3G:
- could use straight from hospital without having to buy a separate infant insert
- was cooler to wear because there's little padding
- has nifty sleeping hood that also blocked sun
- thin enough to cram in diaper bag for travel
- my baby hates back carry in this one so there's only one useable position (front inward facing)
Gemini:
- Better back comfort because of extra padding and ability to crisscross straps
- easier in-carrier breastfeeding
- more carry options (hip and front-facing for instance) and more comfortable back carry for baby
- bad for napping because the snap up neck support has exposed nylon straps which scrape up against baby's face
Hope that helps!

Hi! I'm sorry, you mean Boba 3G, right?
