Some people will undoubtedly like the muted bustle of Coffee House, or the repetitive clickety-clack of Inside Train.

I’m also testing a mixture that’s mostly Campfire with just a few of the cicadas from Summer Night thrown in, but I find myself yawning when it’s on.īut that’s just me. While writing this article, I created another mixture that combines October Rain, Thunderstorm, and Summer Night, but all those water sounds make me want to visit the bathroom. At least to my ears, it sounds great - when I close my eyes, it’s easy to imagine the chickens scratching for bugs in the dirt and the cows ambling through the field below the house. My preferred mixture is heavy on the bird songs in Sunny Day, with about half a dose of On The Farm, and just a touch of a creek in the distance courtesy of River Stream. I must confess a certain lack of variability in my own usage. It’s easy to save and switch between these soundscapes. You might like just one of these sounds, but what sets Noizio apart is that you can combine multiple options into a personalized mixture, even blending the different sounds at different levels. Click a sound’s icon to enable or disable it, and move its slider to set how loud the sound should be. It offers 15 different ambient sounds that play in seamless loops: October Rain, Coffee House, Thunderstorm, Campfire, Winter Wind, Sea Waves, River Stream, Summer Night, Sunny Day, Deep Space, Sailing Yacht, Inside Train, On The Farm, Wind Chimes, and Blue Whales.

Spotify and competing services like Apple Music have plenty of tracks of thunderstorms, waves, and birds, but finding something appropriate is a serious rabbit hole.Įnter Noizio, a Mac and iOS app that I stumbled across recently. (This is, of course, selective nostalgia - making hay is hard, dirty, noisy work - so I beg your dispensation for some poetic license.) While I like listening to music in Spotify, there are times when I just want some background sounds that won’t distract me from what I’m writing. I’m a country boy, and while I don’t exactly live in the big city now, working at a Mac all day doesn’t provide the ambience I remember from summer days on the farm.

Shoulder straps will run between 19' - 41' (48cm - 144cm) (you can take another 4' or 10cms out by tightening the perfect fit adjusters) and the waist strap will adjust to fit from 26' - 59' (66cm - 150cm). Safety buckles that really do take two hands, flat, crossable straps that don't suffocate me, an ergonomic seat that keeps my child's weight up and close to my centre of gravity, and flexible adjustment - the moveable chest strap and perfect fit adjusters at the top of the body panel are really icing on the cake to ensure an excellent fit. Toddler features all the same things that make Soleil a GOOD and simple carrier. I took it for a test run with straps straight and had everything cinched to the minimum length - I then realised I hadn't used the adjusters at the top of the body panel and could actually get an even better fit by cinching there - oops! The learning curve is real! Like the Gemini and Soleil, Beco's Toddler allows crossed straps for a snug, tailored fit. I feel like my shoulders need to be 10 cms wider! I am always a little wary of toddler/child size carriers as their wider body panels can get boxy and uncomfortable. I'm an Australian size 10 and about 5'6 tall (165ish cms).

Obviously this will vary from family to family, but that's our situation. My 3.5 yo is about 15kgs, so realistically, I'm guessing this is a carrier that could have a place in our lives till 5yo. The body is 48 cms deep and the waistband another 14 cms deep. (I measure the body panel at 43 cms wide).

This is a toddler carrier with a big body and it's not suitable for a child if their legs can't swing freely outside the carrier. You want your child to meet BOTH of those requirements, not one OR the other. The minimum age and weight is 18months, 20lbs/9kgs.
