Beco Soleil Baby Carrier - Nimbus

So far, I am very pleased with this carrier and have went though 4 I haven't been as pleased with. It offers excellent support, supports my son properly from bum to knee, and looks adorable while being made of good material. I can do whatever I need to around the house or out and he is comfortable and secure. It also is quite easy to put on and take off or adjust. The safety feature​ buckle is very easy to operate and takes no strength. You just make sure to push the center first and then hold while pinching the sides. I'm not sure why so many people have trouble with it but perhaps they are trying to do both the center and sides at once? The only thing I didn't think great was the side carry. It seems the carrier isn't really built for it and baby was a bit awkward in it. He's only 7 months though. Perhaps it would work better for an older baby.

I had read other reviews saying the buckles on this were a little difficult to navigate because of the extra "safety" piece on the top. I tried the carrier on and it was a little difficult to open the clips (both hands needed) and I'm sure it would be more difficult if there were actually a baby involved! However, one of the shoulder clips would not open AT ALL. I had the carrier in my lap, using both hands, full force, and different angles and it is completely jammed like it's glued shut. My fingers hurt from trying to open it for several minutes. As one of the selling points of this carrier is that you can criss cross the straps on your back for added support, this definitely renders it non-functional and I will be returning it.On the plus side, the design (Nimbus) was cute, it does include a hood and storage pocket. It seems sturdier than an Ergo - more structure to it. I'm giving it two stars because I'm sure it has some redeeming qualities if it were actually functional.

Overall I’m very happy with this carrier. I like that it has the cross-back straps rather than the type that wrap around your shoulders and you have to reach up awkwardly to position the strap between your should blades. It very comfortable. Baby is well balanced. I used a Bjorn miracle previously because I really like how easy they are to get on and off quickly. I wish there were more ergonomic carriers that were as easy as the Bjorn, where you put them on like a jacket and clip in front then clip the front panel to the harness after the baby is in.

Love it. So comfy. The removable hood is awesome. Love the storage. My daughter passed out in minutes, so, obviously comfy. Very user friendly. Minis the button to open the waist part. I have carpal tunnel, so is reeeeaaalllly hard to push it and I have to have somebody actually help me, or I have to step in and out of it. I understand it is for safety, but holy cow even my husband struggles a second with it.

The best baby carrier I've owned (out of 4): fits snug and secure, very easy to adjust, and my (now 14 mo.) daughter always seems comfortable - it's great for naps on the go. The only problem I've had is that the grey gets dirty quite easily; darker colors may have been a wiser choice. It did seems stiff at first, but after a few uses the fabric softened. The belt has plenty of padding and is a great fit for female waists.

We have been baby wearing for years and when our previous Beco died I thought I would try a few different brands to see if there was something better. NOTHING beat the comfort and ergonomics of Beco. We previously had the beco gemini and since our kids get so big so fast we thought we would try the nimbus. Obviously, it does not do front facing which my husband misses (but he still uses the old patched up gemini for that) However the extra width and height were perfect since our guy was a huge 4 mo when we got it. now at 8mo and 30 lbs it is so much more comfortable for both of us.The optional pocket is great and I appreciate the straps on the top that let you suck in the head. I also like that the shade is removable bc we never use it. the buckles are facing a good direction for easy tightening and release (I was wearing my friends erog 360 this weekend and they were on the opposite side and it was really inconvenient)We tried several others including the tula, ergo, onya and a few more and this one really was best for us.Finally- to anyone debating the kind of carrier ie SSC vs Ring Sling vs Wrap...We have them all! and I can say definitely this gets the most use. With the first baby we had more time to do wraps and I appreciated the quickness of the ring sling so all 3 got equal use for the first 3 mos then by the time D was 4 mos he was so heavy the SSC was definitely getting more use. Now Kid #3 lives in this. w 3 kids under 4 I do not have time to wrap and need something that is super secure in case i need to be grabbing the other 2. also I need the chunky padded straps bc he is basically in here all day. I wear it even when he is out and just tighten or roll it so I can pop him in as needed. I know that this is in part bc of our lifestyle- we are always on the go and the kids come everywhere with me. If you have a more laid back slow moving style this may not be as much of an issue.One last note- we live in a very HOT HUMID area and even though this is not a 'air' wrap we dont have heat issues. Just be safe and use common sense.

Could not be happier with this carrier!!! Amazing quality, light weight and extremely comfortable! My squish and I love it!!!

This is my second beco, since I misplaced my first one. Even though my youngest is almost 3 and ~33lbs, I still felt this was worth buying again. I am very satisfied with my purchase and this one is definitely cuter than my plain brown one!

Great baby carrier, I love it and my back doesn't feel too hurt and sore after using it. I use it to carry my one year old boy, he seems comfy and fall asleep. You can carry your baby front, back and sideway and it's very easy to use it by yourself. The only thing is that you can't carry baby face the same way you look. But I bought it because it can carry baby like a backpack and it's easy for me to do house thing at the same time. I would recommend this baby carrier to any parents.

Wish I had tried this from a baby sling library before buying. I am using it for a toddler and the buckles are quite hard to undo one handed. Also too fiddly for me. However, on the the plus side, it fits my smallish toddler perfectly and he is comfortable in it. I will have to get used to it and practice!

Its such a comfy carrier when on especially carrying a 2yr old will reccommend to anyone!

Best sling we've used (it's our third one)

Great sling :)
