Baby Wrap Carrier - Stretch Cotton Newborn Sling, Grey | Breathable, Hands-Free Babywearing Carrier Wrap; ergonomic, secure hold for newborn to toddler 7-35 lbs.

I initially purchased the Balboa baby sling from BuyBuyBaby (my other favorite baby gear store) but returned it within one week because I hated it because my baby hated it! The sling was difficult to get right for my then 6 week old who was too young to put in that contraption - no matter how tight I made the sling (which for those of you who have tried it, once you make it that tight to fit a tiny tiny person, it is extremely difficult to get off - especially when your baby is wailing!) I tried that thing a few times during that week but I never felt comfortable that no matter what I was doing, my baby was breathing properly and that it was safe. So I returned it. I initially did NOT want a long wrap with lots and lots of fabric that I had to figure out what to do with. Not to mention that I was uncomfortable with the thought that the fabric might unravel and that I might drop my baby! But after failing at one of those pre-made slings, I had to try something that I could make on my own and women had been using for centuries to carry their little ones. So I did a little bit of research on wraps and slings and narrowed it down to this or the Moby wrap from Amazon. I don't remember what I saw that made me select the Boba over the Moby (price maybe) but I went with this. So far this product is amazing! This is my favorite item next to my baby's car seat, here's why: 1. I can hold my baby super close to my heart and chest giving both me and my baby lots of comfort. I didn't realize how much I missed having that close connection with my baby during my pregnancy until I wore him in this for a couple of weeks and remembered that this little guy that i was hugging on the outside of my body was just inside my body a few short weeks ago. 2. The color in grey is nice and subtle and sometimes when I wear this wrap, it looks like its a cool part of my outfit (not really but at least I don't feel like i'm wearing a backpack). 3. I can wear the sling all day long. When I put baby in his car seat, I hop into the driver's seat and take off without unclipping/unwrapping/undoing anything. When I get to where I need to be, I just pop baby back in and we head off. I didn't realize how much mobility this offers me compared to a stroller but if you don't have one of these - you seriously need one. 4. BEST thing to get baby to go to sleep. You can wear this 3 ways from what I've seen so far (infant hug hold, cradle hold, and baby hug hold -where the baby's legs are dangling from the bottom). I use this in the cradle hold to get my baby to sleep and tuck him in the fabric to hold his head secure and his body snug to mine. With a few bouncy bouncy bouncies on a quick 2 minute walk, my baby is out for his nap! I love the concept of this baby carrier, which is why i gave it 5 stars. However, I am on the lookout for a cooler version of the wrap for the summer time as the material doesn't breathe very much and after an hour walking with my son, he gets too hot and sweaty (for those of you who are trying to figure that out, when you are hot and sweaty, so is your baby because heat transfers when you are holding your baby). If you currently do not have a baby carrier and have a newborn or infant less than 12 weeks - I HIGHLY recommend the wrap. it is perfect for you and your baby and is probably easier to get him accustomed to being in this early on rather than later on.

Love love love. Super easy to use (after I looked up a video on YouTube that is... Took me one try after that and now I'm like a pro), very comfortable, and baby loves it. He sleeps everywhere we go when he is carried in it. I live in a very hot environment and he wasn't any hotter in the wrap than he would have been out of it. I actually liked that I could keep him close to me so I could keep an eye on his body temperature better than if he was in a car seat or something. We don't have strangers trying to touch him when he is in the wrap, and the ends work as a built in burp rag to wipe his mouth if he spits up a little while I am wearing it. It is great, I can go grocery shopping or to the park with him in the wrap, and I don't have a car seat to lug around. If he gets fussy in the wrap, I'm already holding him to comfort him so I don't have to take him out of a car seat and lug an empty car seat around. Compared to my first baby where we carried a car seat and diaper bag around everywhere we went, this is much easier and WAY less stressful. I like the stretchy fabric because it's definitely a one size fits all. Anyone of any size can use this wrap for their baby. It also grows with my baby, three months using it and he still fits just right. I don't feel like it sags or doesn't hold him well - it is completely up to you how tightly your baby is wrapped! As long as I tighten it the right amount for me and my baby before I put him in we are both secure and comfortable. Its very easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone having a baby - it really makes life with a baby much easier and comfortable, for mom and baby! I have tried other carriers and I feel like my baby is more secure in this by far.

Recently while pregnant with my 4th baby I bought the new version of the Ergo carrier I faithfully used with my first 3 children. It felt very stiff and not as comfortable as I remembered. Once this baby was born I tried to use it a couple times and both my baby and I hated it. I needed to try something else and decided on the Boba wrap. I had tried a wrap with my 2nd baby 10yrs ago and I never got the hang of it (was not boba) but I was determined to try again. It could not have been more easy. My baby is so happy in the boba and it’s so comfortable for us both. I wear it daily around the house and we go on 3-4 mile walks and he usually sleeps the whole time. I get a lot of comments and compliments and people have stopped to ask me about it. The only thing that is a downside is nothing about the functionality itself but rather the fact that it’s like 20ft of fabric so it’s not the most convenient to slap on when you’re out and about. If I know I’ll be wearing baby once we get to our destination, I’ll put it on at home in front of the mirror right before we leave. I also have gotten the hang of putting it on in the car, which is preferable to outside of the car so that it doesn’t touch the ground. It’s always neatly folded in my diaper bag backpack if I’m not wearing it, I don’t leave home without it. I almost bought the black so that it goes with everything but the grey color was so appealing to me in the stock photos and I’d say the stock photos represent the true grey color well. It’s a really nice neutral warm grey that works really well with my wardrobe and I think the wrap looks very chic. It’s affordable and such a good option for baby wearing.

This is a great beginners wrap! With the help of a Boba sponsored youtube video I was able to learn how to use this wrap fairly easily. Once I got the hang of it my son and I love it, I was wearing him in it starting at 1 week old. He loves to go out and about in it, and usually falls asleep. It's easy to take on and off, stretchy, soft, comfortable. My only two complaints are with any wrap like this, not just the Boba - 1) It being July, its a lot of fabric and tends to get hot and 2) you have to have it on in order to put the baby in it, so you have to plan ahead if you are going out and about, and have to literally wear the wrap when you leave the house. Now that I have mastered my Ring Sling I have been using the Boba a little less frequently. But I'm sure as it gets cooler I will still use the Boba, and it will still be preferably to the ring sling if I'm gonna be walking for a while, as it is a little more ergonomic and symmetrical (The ring sling hurts my back after a while, the Boba does not cause me pain as long as I get it tight enough!).

I used four different carriers for my baby: a Baby K'Tan, this Boba Wrap, an Ergo Baby, and a Lillebaby. Here are the pros and cons of each: First, the Baby K'Tan. I tried this one first and loved it for my newborn. The main advantage to the K'Tan is that it is sort of a Boba or Moby Wrap for Dummies: easier to put on, and made of less stretchy fabric. This held my baby snugly to my chest, and this was the ONLY way she would nap most afternoons. I spent a lot of time with her in this! The fabric does stretch out eventually, but I simply put the K'tan in the washer and through the dryer on high heat, and it went back to its original size. Cons: The K'Tan is sized, so unless you want to buy two (or you are the same size), your partner wont' be able to use it. As my baby got heavier, we needed a carrier my husband could use, too. Also ,the support strap ties in back, and this is uncomfortable if you want to wear the carrier while sitting (for example, on a long airplane flight). Second, the Boba Wrap. This was the second carrier I bought. I love the soft, stretchy, thick fabric--much better feeling than a Moby. Also, the wrap ties in front so there is no knot in the back when you are sitting. Unlike the K'Tan, this one requires you to figure out how to wrap and tie, and it is a bit of a learning curve. However, the plus side was that my husband could use this, too. Now that my baby is over 6 months old, though, we mostly use the Lillebaby as it is more supportive and distributes her weight better. Third, the Ergo Baby. We ended up returning this one. For one, the infant insert just did not work out for us. Every time my husband tried this, the baby would start crying and fussing. For a newborn, it is definitely better to use a stretchy wrap like the Boba or K'Tan. Finally, the Lillebaby. This is the carrier we are currently using for our 7 month old. It supports her weight well, allows for multiple positions (including outward facing, which she now prefers), and does not require her to dangle from her crotch (as a Bjorn does). But this would not have been as comfy for her as a newborn. Overall, if you plan to get two carriers, I'd recommend the Boba (for an infant) and the Lillebaby for a larger baby.

Super soft. Great quality. Comfortable and convenient. Super recommended

My husband and I picked out this carrier, mainly because it was affordable and had a good reputation. Some cheaper less wrap-like carriers are associated with hip problems, so we didn't want those. I was hesitant about the elaborate process of wrapping it around me, but it gets easier over time. It's still a bit of a hassle though and I'm not sure it's really worth it. Pros: 1) The baby seems to like being in the boba. When she was first born, the boba wrap was one of the few things that made her quiet down and was the only way we could take her anywhere. But now that she's getting more comfortable in her stroller, the boba is getting less appealing. 2) There's pretty good back support. The weight of the baby is fairly evenly distributed so you can carry her around for awhile without too much back pain. 3) It's nice to be able to carry the baby around and still have your hands free. You can even use it just doing chores around the house if you have a baby that wants to be held all the time but you need to vacuum or something like that. 4) It's cheap, easy to clean, and light weight - after all, it's basically just a giant strip of stretchy fabric. Cons: 1) I'm constantly paranoid that she's going to suffocate in there. She's still too small to hold up her head so I try to support her head with part of the wrap, but then I'm constantly fussing with it to make sure her face isn't pressed into the fabric or my boobs. 2) It's hot! I guess this happens anytime you strap another person to your body, but the weather is getting warmer and it's just too hot to walk around outside with her in it. 3) The wrap is ridiculously long. After following the wrapping instructions, you're left with feet and feet of fabric and you can either have a giant tail or wrap it around your waist a million more times. 4) It's kinda a pain to deal with the wrapping. It takes a little while to put on and then you have to maneuver a wiggly baby into it. Where we live, you pretty much have to drive everywhere, so running errands with the boba involves constantly moving the baby from car seat to wrap. It's much easier just to take out the car seat and click it into the stroller. 5) Even if you can get the baby to fall asleep in the boba, you will never get them to stay asleep when you take them out. My husband always compares taking her out of the boba to giving birth - very traumatizing. 6) When the baby gets sick of it, she starts screaming and clawing at me with her tiny little talons. Overall it's a fairly good product, but it's not for everyone. If you're really into wearing your baby and do a lot of walking, then you might really like this. Also it's a nice way to give you husband an idea of what it was like lugging a baby around your midsection for 9 months - although it's not really the same since it doesn't come with nausea, heartburn, exhaustion, ect.

My 23lb baby loves to be held, and I've tried multiple carriers without much luck—until I found this wrap! I had avoided wraps in the past because I didn’t want to deal with complicated tying and assembly. I previously tried the Boba wrap with straps and found it super uncomfortable. I also have the Tushbaby, which works for quick trips but puts a lot of strain on my back and still requires one arm to support my baby. I've owned two other strap-style carriers that have been sitting untouched for over 8 months. I honestly thought I’d just have to live with sore arms and a tired back—until now. This wrap is amazing! I was a little intimidated at first by the idea of wrapping, but it’s actually incredibly simple to use. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I even made a full crockpot dinner while wearing my baby—and I felt zero pain afterwards! My back didn’t ache, she didn’t feel heavy, and it was totally comfortable. The fit is perfect for my chunky girl, and I wish I had bought this 10 months ago. Plus, we live in Florida and it’s breathable enough to wear outside without overheating. The 100% cotton fabric is soft, lightweight, and ideal for daily use. If you’re on the fence, get this wrap. Total game-changer!

SNSで見て、二つ目の抱っこ紐として購入。最初は付けるのに少し練習が必要ですが、慣れると簡単。どんな体型の人にも使えるのが良い。新生児の頃から使えるし、赤ちゃんも中でスヤスヤ眠ってくれました。泣き止まないとかはこれで抱っこしながら家事もできます。 デメリットは布が長いので外出先では巻き直しが困難なこと。巻き直ししないような近所への散歩や買い物、家の中の使用には最高です！

Ottima fascia di qualità. Il mio bebè si è fatto le migliori dormite all'interno. Soldi ben spesi soprattutto nei primi mesi, quando il bimbo non pesa troppo. Ora a 5,5 kg la uso ancora senza problemi

I purchased this wrap out of desperation when my 6 week old baby from one day to another stopped being able to nap in his cosleeper. He was awake for 5-6-7 hours, couldn't fall asleep anywhere though we tried everything from rocking to sleep, pacifier, white noise, swaddle, sleeping in the buggy, car etc. This wrap arrived one afternoon and I was dead exhausted from trying to get my little baby to sleep for hours and him just being overtired from not sleeping. I immediately put the wrap on, put my son in it and within half a minute he was asleep! I couldn't believe it. First I thought he was just so tired that he would have slept anywhere but the wrap kept working like magic. It quickly became our default nap place for the baby. For 3 and a half months, he did practically all his naps in here!! It is really an amazing product! So easy to use, both me and my husband put it on with ease after one practice. It's also super comfy for the baby (in contrast to more structured carriers - we also had the Tula but as a newborn, our son didn't find ut comfy enough to sleep in it). I loved that we could basically put the baby to sleep anywhere because we just brought the wrap everywhere. Initially i was afraid that if we keep using it for naps, he will start to demand it at night but no, he remained an easy cosleeper sleeper for the nights. Now that he is 5 months old we are transitioning back to cosleeper naps, he is now ready for that and goes down without problems. I already miss our wrap snuggles, it is really such a special way to help your little bebe to sleep. The boba wrap was the best baby purchase we did!

Loved that the material is very soft and comfy. Easy to put on once you've practiced a few times. Our wee one fell asleep in this super easy. Excellent for being out and about and avoiding taking a pram with you. But be aware that it's thick stretchy cotton so your bubs can get very hot very quickly. We could only use it on cool days. Even when using it at shopping centres that are air conditioned my baby still got very hot very quickly. If your bubs has trapped wind being in this will be quite uncomfortable. Didn't like how inconvenient it was to put on when out and about. It's a really long single piece of material so it will drag along the ground when you're wrapping it around yourself - unlike these other baby carriers that are easy to throw on and off. And I found I couldn't bend over that easy so it's not like I could use it to get stuff done around the house while bubs slept. All in all it's good value for what you get. Will test it out in winter and see if we get more use out of it.

Nice product baby will definitely love it and moms will have their 2 hands free to do other house choirs. I’m just super lazy to put in on and off.
