Boba Baby Wrap Carrier - Stretch Cotton Newborn Sling, Black

When it came in I got it out of the box and immediately put it on, so I could put child in it. This thing is amazing and supper soft. It also fits very well compared to the momcozy adjustable warp. 100% would recommend if you more in the XL or XXL department. I’m and heavier set women and I’m able to wear my child. We are both very comfortable and not feeling stressed out or squished. They are true to size, don’t hesitate to getting this wrap and it’s actually very easy to put on.

We purchased a hotsling, a babybjoern, an ergobaby with infant insert and about two weeks into our daughters life a boba wrap. This is our third baby and I really wish I had know about the boba wrap with our two older kids. Our third baby is colicky, it can be aweful - she has bouts of crying that seem unstoppable and it's as if she is in pain. The absolutely only thing that will get her out of her crying mode within less than a couple of minutes in 100% of cases is the bobawrap. She already calms down when we slide her into it, and often falls asleep within minutes. If it was up to her, she would be inside the bobawrap 10 hours a day. I highly recommend the wrap for families with high need babies or infants that cry a lot, it's been a life saver for us. POSITIVES ABOUT BOBA: Tying is less complex than it looks - watch the youtube video rather than relying on the instructions. You can keep the wrap on even when you are not "wearing" baby, almost like an extra layer or a poncho : ) Baby is really close to you and feels your body warmth and hears your voice, and is jiggled around whenever you move (slightly, not violently). In colder climates, the Boba keeps you and baby nicely warm. In comparison to most other carriers, the Boba is inexpensive and baby's weight is nicely distributed across your back/shoulders (if you tie correctly and spread the fabric well across your entire back). It's washable like a sweater and the material is soft. In comparison to the sling carriers (hotslings), it's much easier on your back and baby feels much more tightly tucked in. NEGATIVES: I don't think it's that easy to breastfeed while the wrap is on, and once it's off you have to find a semi-clean space to tie it on again (you don't want the wrap that goes right around baby's face to touch airport floors or public bathrooms), which takes a coupe of minutes longer than tying/untying babybjoern or ergobaby carriers. In hot climates, you are likely to get pretty warm in the boba wrap. Altogether, if you are going to buy only a single carrier for the first six to eight months, get this one! I am so grateful since without the BobaWrap our infant's crying spells would be lengthy and unbearable.

I got this wrap mostly because I was tired of sitting there with my fussy baby and not getting anything done at home. My daughter was 1 week old when we took her for a short walk around the block (she's a New England winter baby, and it's sooo cold here). I put her in a carrier we got from friends, but it just didn't do the trick. I constantly felt that my newborn was too far away from my own body and more or less bouncing around. So I ordered the Boba. It's really simple to put on (I actually watched the youtube videos and found them much easier to understand than the printed explanations) and whenever I put DD in it, she loves being so snug. We now mostly use it for shopping trips (hands-free is a wonderful thing as every new mom can imagine) and not so much for the household. That's just because I cannot figure out how to put her head in there without suffocating her. She hates turning it to one side. So when I bend over a lot (while doing laundry for example), I always need to put one hand behind her head. That's a bit annoying, but pretty surely my own fault. Being in a grocery store, I am mostly in an upright position and she instantly falls asleep in it. It's also nice, that you can always check on the baby and kiss and cuddle him. The fabric is very comfy and of high quality. Very stretchy, but not too much (I was worried about that before). It holds her in place without strangling me and you can't really feel the weight of the child. I prefer the Boba over the Moby Wrap, because I don't have to deal with 'pockets' and I like the fabric on the Boba more. I would definitely recommend this wrap to anyone who wants to keep their child close. Because of its softness it's more for moms I think, my hubby prefers the carrier. It's "more masculine".. whatever that means.

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.

This product is a MUST for anyone with a baby. Makes a perfect baby shower must have gift! We received one as a gift and purchased one as we have twins. Can’t say enough of how much we love this baby wrap.

Great product

After having my baby, I had a hard time not having my hands free to get more done around the house. I received a sport carrier from a shower but it was best used when my child could support himself more. So I decided to purchase a wrap mainly to be more hands free for my infant (0-3 months). It is not as hands free as its made out to be. The material is a stretchy/slinky type material. It can be pulled very tight or kept loose. If you wrap it too loose your child is not very secure and bounces around a lot with little head support. The instructions tell you that it should be tight enough to pull the child into you. If its too tight, its uncomfortable for you and the baby. When it seems to fit well, I find my child still bounces around a lot and you have to still support him with your hands (like your hugging your baby like in the picture). If I lean over at all I have to hold on to him and support his back and neck. It really doesn't allow me to do much more with the wrap than without it. I tried to do some things around my yard too but we both ended up very sweaty. The material itself does not seem too hot but when you press a little body next to yours and wrap it tight, it gets hot! Even inside my child would be sweating after wearing it for a little while. My expectations were much higher than the outcome. If you are looking at buying this to free yourself up to do all your chores, its not as free as it sounds. It helps a little (I was able to wash some dishes okay but had trouble with anything that requires bending over or much movement) so I gave it 3 stars.

We have a 2 week old newborn. She's fantastic, but as babies do can get very fussy. She'll fall deep asleep in our arms, however as soon as we put her in the bassinet she'll wake up crying. This makes it really hard to get work done, do things around the house, as we need to constantly be rocking her. Introduce the Boba! I've only had this thing for like 3 hours but I already know it's amazing. She fits snuggly against my chest, it's comfortable to wear, and sleeps verrrry soundly while freeing up both of my hands to work at my computer or do whatever. I was a bit intimidated about how to put it on at first, seemed very complicated, but it's actually super simple. Highly recommend for parents.

This has been, by far, the most-used baby item we’ve purchased. It’s lasted through two babies already, and I’m confident it’ll last through at least one more. One of the main reasons I chose this carrier was because my husband and I are different sizes. I didn’t want to constantly adjust straps every time we switched who was wearing the baby, and this made it so easy for both of us to use. Both of our babies spent a lot of time in this carrier during their first few months. It gave us the freedom to get things done around the house, go for walks, travel, and still keep our babies close and happy. As they got older and developed good neck control, we switched them to face outward for outings like trips to the dinosaur museum so they could take everything in. It’s also been fantastic for more active days. I wore my daughter while we were camping and even played a full game of bocce ball without any issues. The fit is very accommodating, and I think it would work well for a wide range of body types. I watched a quick YouTube video before using it for the first time, which made learning how to put it on much easier. I chose the black colour because it goes with everything. I’ve recommended this carrier to several friends and have even purchased it as a gift for expecting parents because it’s been such a reliable staple for our family. The only downside is that it can get quite warm. On hot summer days or while travelling to warmer climates, both you and your baby may get a little sweaty. For us, though, the comfort, durability, and convenience have far outweighed that minor drawback. If I were starting over with a newborn tomorrow, this would be one of the very first baby items I’d buy again.

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

Perfect for tightening around waist to reduce stomach as well.

With the current weather in Singapore, not ideal as it is too thick. Returned the product in the same box, with the labels and product intact, but seller provided a mere 20% refund without even covering the return postage. Not recommended

This wrap is literally the best £38 I've ever spent. It's very easy to get to grips with, you just need to spend a bit of time getting the 'fit' right (i.e. not too loose or tight). It's extremely comfortable and can be worn all day, you just pop baby in and out as needed. My baby loves the wrap and it's the only place he'll sleep in the day. I love it because I can carry him comfortably and still have my hands free to get on with stuff. It's brilliant for attachment and bonding and helps you to get to know your baby really well as he's so close. It can be easily put in the washing machine as needed and this hasn't had a detrimental impact on the elasticity. I was a bit worried that I would struggle to carry baby for long periods (he's a big baby) but so far no problems at all, it's really very comfortable. I literally don't have anything bad to say about the Boba Wrap and I definitely wouldn't be without it.
