Boba Baby Wrap Carrier - Stretch Cotton Newborn Sling, 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.

I purchased this memory card for my husband to use for his games, and it has been great. It worked fine right out of the box with no issues at all, providing reliable performance and plenty of space. Highly recommend it if you need a dependable micro SD card!

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!).

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!

This wrap is a HUGE help to me right now! I have two daughters, a 4 week old and a 14 month old. I had a baby carrier with straps and buckles that I tried to use with my first daughter. She didn’t like being in it but I saved it for future kids. My second daughter loves being held and being close to me so I tried that same carrier with her and while she would go in it, I knew she was uncomfortable in it and would end up not staying in for long. I decided to give this wrap a try thinking she might like it better since it’s just all fabric with no straps or buckles and she loves it! As long as I get her in it while she’s calm and content, she will fall asleep and stay in it for a few hours giving me my arms and hands back to handle and care for my 14 month old and do whatever else I need to do that I couldn’t if I were constantly having to hold her. I learned that you can also breastfeed your baby while they are in the wrap too. While I’m no longer breastfeeding for various reasons, I did try bottle feeding her while in it and I had no issues at all! It may not go as smoothly every time, but it certainly made things a lot easier the one time I did try it not having to take her out and fully wake her up and risk her not wanting to go back in if I need to get some things done. But I would only bottle feed her in it if actually needed to and wouldn’t make it a habit because she would still need diaper changes and time to just be out of the wrap. However, I can see it being beneficial if I’m out and about with her in the wrap and need to feed her. Overall, I love that I’m able to do pretty much everything I need to do while my daughter is in this wrap. It’s comfortable to wear for up to 2-3 hours at a time, which is how long I typically keep my daughter in it before taking her out and giving her some free hours to stretch out, do floor time, and spend time with dad and breathe a bit because baby can get hot in the wrap over time. So far I’ve had no issues. The fabric is very long especially if you’re short like me (5’2) so when putting the wrap on, it does drag on the floor. I don't particularly like that but it’s not a deal breaker. Other than that, I haven’t found anything else to not love about this wrap! Highly recommend!

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.

I have only has this wrap 2 days and it has already been worth its weight in gold!My little guy is almost weeks old and weighs 8 pounds. He has been fussy since he was born, dealing with a few tummy issues so that anytime he was laid down he would cry and often spit up, even though he had been burped. He also typically eats once an hour or more so when I was told to keep him upright for 30 minutes after feeding him I was discouraged... no sleep for me ever. Sigh. I started researching carriers and initially wanted to stay away from a wrap because it seemed too complicated. When I learned about hip dysplasia I became concerned about trying to use one of the more rigid carriers with buckles because my baby is still so small. I was also on a budget and couldn't justify spending over $100 for something that would only be used for a matter of months. (Note: Now that I have used a wrap for a couple days I would say that it is worth it to spend more for an ergonomically correct buckle in style carrier if you are so intimidated by a wrap that you would go without a carrier. But before doing that I would recommend trying a wrap.)I asked our pediatrician what she recommended and she said a wrap was the way to go. I researched various wraps and watched a few videos on how to properly use them. I decided to purchase this Boba wrap because of it's good reviews and price point.I was able to properly use it my very first try. It was so much easier than I thought! I credit the ease of use to watching enough videos on YouTube beforehand. If you do your research it should be easy for you too. :)Pros:- Baby is very secure and comfortable.- Baby doesn't slip down or need to be readjusted.- I can finally get some things done around the house and my baby is happy!- Affordable.- Much easier to use than I thought.Cons:- I get quite warm while using the wrap. I'm glad my baby was born in the fall because the thought of using this wrap in weather over 70 degrees is not appealing. I had seen other wraps that were lighter/ thinner but they tended to wear out quickly according to some reviews. If your baby is born in warm weather months you may want to try a lighter weight wrap.Final thoughts: Having this wrap has already saved my sanity. It would make an AMAZING baby shower gift! It is certainly something I plan on buying as a gift for friends in the future.If my opinion about this wrap changes in the future I will update this review. For now, I love it!

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!

المنتج ليس ماركة بوبا الاصلية وفكرت في ارجاعه بسبب هذالكن القماش قطن ناعم وممتاز جداجربت عدة منتجات ولم اجد هذه الخامةلذلك قررت عدم الارجاع

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.
