Looked everywhere and I can only find it on USA sites which isn't great considering the exchange rate!
I'd love black or espresso as a preference.
Thanks!

Ooh, I'm so glad you asked... I got my espresso Beco from here - Sarah is very helpful.

They look to have lots of new colours in but I couldn't see the brown one. May be worth mailing her to check.

It's a great sling, I love mine.

Do you love it? Narrowed to to Ergo and Beco but I like the fact you can let go off the waist and they won't drop to the floor!!
Is it comfy? We have a little life and our shoulders ache after a short period of time (14mth old)-heard great things!

Absolutely adore it - even considering trying for dc3 to get more use out of it .

It is v comfy - took a bit of jiggling and adjusting to find the right tension on all the straps, but now is great and pretty easy to get them in and out, esp. cos like you say, once they're in the pouch bit, they can't fall. It's a bit better looking than the Ergo (imo) and you can tell the woman who designed it is a climber - all the straps and fastenings are high quality and pro-looking.

It's surprisingly easy to do back carries too - comes with DVD instructions. It rolls up into a strap around the waist belt and the hood part is handy when they fall asleep or it's rainy or sunny. DS is 1 and not small, so as long as I carry him regularly it's fine. I do notice if I'm out of practice though. Have also carried DD (2.9) for short periods - lots more comfy than carrying a whiny child on your hip.

I just wish my DP was willing to wear one of the patterned ones...

Just to add a different percpective, I recently got our Ergo for 9 month old ds and I haven't used the pushchair since- it is so comfortable and easy to use for back carries. He gets really excited when he realises he's going in it too I was really interested in the Beco because it is just so pretty but having read lots and lots of reviews I went for the Ergo and I'm glad I did. I was worried that being extremely large of nork I would look ridiculous with the front strap fastened, but it is so secure I don't need to do it up at all. It fits me well and last week ds was babysat by a slim size 8 18 year old friend and it was a fab fit for her too. It isn't as pretty as the Beco but it is very comfortable and I'm happy with my choice. I got it from Free Range Kids for £72
