The original Beco Butterfly is retired and was replaced with version “Beco Butterfly 2” with some noteworthy design changes! We have 12 organic colors in stock – solid black and brown and the prints :  Argyle Deer, Aiden, Carnival, Lauren, Lucas, Paige, Natalie, and Panthers . The fall colors will sell out before long and no more will be made – this means Argyle, Carnival and Panthers. We only have a couple left in stock and Becos move fast, so we will run out on the fall/winter colors before long.   These ship free the same day or next day after you order them.  The Butterfly carrier is not being discontinued – the new Gemini is a quite different product and these are selling side-by-side. Neither model is a replacement for the other kind.

Everybody is curious about how the Beco fabric prints look close up and in the sunlight, so we blog these whenever we can. Check the sidebar for the “butterfly photos” section. Our homemade close-up outdoor shots of Isabella and Olivia are here. Extra images of Abby Sara and Natalie are here. Our shots of the discontinued Scooters Becos are here. We also took photos of Aubrey, Ethan, and Emma – especially useful because you can clearly see the words in the popular Emma print.  The current print Paige has extra photos here.  The Butterfly 2.0 blog thread on colors and stocking is here.

Learners are absorbent underwear for potty training. Made of certified organic cotton to work like reusable  pull-ups.  pull on and unsnap the sides to cleanly get them off.  They are made by a cloth diaper company with material to absorb the wetness without getting the clothing wet, but they don’t have a waterproof layer the way that rubber or disposable trainers do.  This makes them a lot more like “real” or “big kid” underwear, which kids feel proud about.

Tender Cargo founding mama Christine used these personally with two of her children, in the stage where they had potty-trained for daytime but still wet during naps, car rides, or overnight. At $18.95 each Learner costs similar to a pack of pull-ups, and you probably only need 2-4 Learners so that you never need to buy pull-ups again.

These were bestsellers earlier in the year and once they sold out we received an endless stream of calls about these prints – they are lovely gender-neutral choices – and those phone calls and emails never stopped even until now.

What changed is that finally have a better answer to tell – that Beco did make more and that finally we have them back in our store for sale! Whew! Welcome back Lenka and Avery!

Babyhawk carriers are a long-established brand in comfortable infant and toddler slings. They’re actually a Mei Tai, meaning that they tie on to you with two easy straps, not buckles or snaps or rings.  Once you try once or twice, it is so fast and easy to tie the waist straps and then the shoulder straps and you’re done – and it is perfect for sharing the carrier with another adult of a different size, since there are no settings or buckles to change between you.  The babyhawk includes a folding headrest for infant head support and is also useful for older babies or toddlers who nap in the carrier. The two-shoulder design makes it effective and comfortable even for growing toddlers. Babyhawks are meant for front, back, or side positions and are quite reasonably priced at $80 for about 2 years of useful life with your child, longer if you save it for a future little sibling.

There are 21 colors in stock now – half our selection is shown below. These are stunning in person.

Every carrier is suitable from birth to 40 pounds. Babyhawk mei tais are versatile to match your outfits and the places you go since each carrier has one side with a design and one side of solid color. This is really helpful when two adults want to share one carrier but have different preferences about the design.

Chocolate, Espresso, and Olive solids are in stock as well.
