Boba Baby Wrap Carrier - Stretch Organic Cotton Newborn Sling, Dark Grey

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.

The best baby wrap and easy to use!

At first, wrapping this thing is a struggle—it’s a bit big, and figuring out how to tie it just right takes a few tries. But once you get the hang of it, it becomes a daily lifesaver. The fabric is soft but sturdy, it feels secure, and it distributes the weight well so my shoulders and back don’t hurt. My baby stays calm and comfy while I actually get things done around the house. Hands-free, practical, and totally worth it.

The Boba Baby Wrap Carrier is a wonderful way to keep baby close to you while at home or in public. Velcro baby or not, keeping your newborn close to your body is beneficial for Mama and baby, and health of both is important in those first stages of life and postpartum. My added benefit was in public, especially where I already knew people; the wrap kept even well-intentioned people at bay. Which gave me peace of mind at a time when I was anxious about taking my first infant out in public during sick season. It's helpful to wear around the house so you can be, at least a little, productive in those first months. I did have a Velcro baby that breastfed, so he wanted to be close even when he wasn't feeding. The wrap is comfortable and adjusts to pretty much any body type. I have a long torso and am very top heavy, which I thought might be a problem. However, after a few practice ties (which I did before I planned on using it to go out, so I knew what to do. And I suggest anyone using this do the same!!), I learned what best worked for my baby and my body. Now, if you are prone to overheating, this wrap will not help that! The material is breathable, but when it gets bunched or layered because of the design, you will get warm. I made the mistake of dressing for the (very cold) weather ONE time when planning to use the Boba. After that I dressed lighter and let my little guy and the wrap warm me with a light jacket instead. It's not a complaint just something people need to be mindful of. It's easy to wash, so maintenance is minimal, just throw it in with all the burp clothes you're already washing!! The Sage Green color is very pretty, I was getting everything in green at that time, turns out my little guy is a blue man😂 The Boba is secure, functional, and keeps baby feeling like they're back in your belly, while being right next to your heartbeat. The Boba is wonderful 20/10 I loved it!!!

I have this carrier in two colors I love it so much! It isn’t difficult to put on and get baby in once you figure it out and have a little practice. I find it super comfortable for me to wear and really helps me get things done since baby loves it. It really is just one super long strip of fabric designed to this kind of carrier style, so don’t expect anything earth shattering, but fantastic quality material in my opinion. It’s great to fold up and stuff in the diaper bag. It also keeps baby super close so I’m not worried about other peoples germs or folks touching my baby! Be careful to use it correctly for safety since I could see how a baby could get hurt by no being able to breathe if not using properly.

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!

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.

Delivery of the product was on time.. love the fabric and the snug fit of the wrap... Baby loved the hold and that left me hands free to do all my work

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

Coloris magnifique, superbe matière entre flexibilité et maintien.

Product received within the timeline and the quality is very good. Baby is super comfortable in it.
