I have been back and forth on the fence between the Soleil and the Gemini. I really like that the Gemini allows you to carry front facing out, but I also like the the Soleil can be used for longer. I ended up ordering the Soleil, and I think I’m going to keep it because of the extra features.

I bought the soleil and am finding it hard to get my baby to stretch her legs apart enough to fit the wide seat . It seems impossible and she hates it . Have you got any tips on how to do this . She is 4 months old but quite petite . Maybe the gemini would have been better as the seat can be narrowed ???
Thank you

Yes, for sure try doing it with a cross strap carry. I’m not sure if the boba can do it, but it’s worth trying. I know for sure the lillebaby can do it. (Which is actually my personal fav Soft Structured Carrier) and it also has lumbar support which is AMAZING!! You might want to check into them if you back is already hurting with a 7lb baby. That said you also likely just had the baby, and your body could still be recovering and the exertion could have caused extra pain. Additionally – do you have a stretchy wrap? I loved that for my newborns. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have other questions!! I’m always happy to help. My FB community is pretty good at offering advice too. http://www.facebook.com/OurknightLife Congrats on your new baby!!

I’ve purchased the newest Boba and love how easy it it’s to wear with my newborn, but by the second day of baby wearing my shoulders and back were hurting. I’m wondering if a cross strap carrier would be better? I will be wearing my 7 lb newborn, so any suggestions on carriers would be great.

Is the soleil less bulky when stored? I know the Gemini is fully padded and does not roll or store as compact as other carriers.
Great review of both
Thanks

It seems like the only thing missing on the lillebaby is a pocket of some sort (which I could sew on myself) and I like that the buckles don’t require 2 hands. I like some of the other features of the soleil but it seems the neck rest is lower than either the gemini or lillebaby (when in the up position) and this, along with the fact that I wouldn’t have to purchase an infant insert is edging me towards the lillebaby–do you have a favorite carrier in terms of comfort? Thank you!

Yes, these carriers can be used on your back or hip. She may really like the hip carry so she can see out more. It’s hard to get a high back carry with any soft structured carrier. Also the Beco Gemini and Lillebaby COMPLETE both allow baby to face out with an ergonomic seat. If baby is older than 6 months than the risk of hip dyspepsia is virtually gone. Does that help?

Do you wear either of these carriers on your back? I’m very overwhelmed by all the choices, mostly because my baby girl wants to see everything. I have an ERGO that I returned because she did not want to be facing in and she couldn’t see past the straps when I used it on my back. Any advice there?

Thank you.
