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.

I was skeptical about buying this because it looked confusing to use. Now, it was still a small challenge to start out but pretty easy to figure out. I actually love this item because I had another carrier and it rubbed on the back of my arms and there just wasn't much room for baby. I am on the heavier side and heavier chested and this carrier worked perfect. Its very snug and stretchy and baby boy loves this carrier much more! It gives pretty good back support as well. The material seems decent quality. I know this will be a daily use!

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.

We LOVE this. We’ve used the traditional boba wraps and loved those too especially for the tiny newborn days. My baby is on the bigger side so he quickly outgrew them however this wrap/carrier still works great at 4 months. It has the breathable material which is great in this summer heat for you and baby. It’s comfortable. You don’t have to mess around with wrapping fabric around you 80 times and hoping you tighten it just right. This wrap provides a little more back support than most others. Most of all I just love how close it makes me still feel to my baby. They’re wrapped up but also snuggly next to you still without either of you sweating too much. Truly my favorite carrier right now.

The fabric is stretchy, thick and breathable but wrapping it around my body takes a lot of time. Putting my baby in and taking him out is easy, but using the wrap itself is quite difficult. As my baby got heavier, it was not supportive enough to keep him snug and secure. Overall, it was not a practical or convenient product for me.

Love this wrap! I don't know how I didn't try a wrap before! This is my 4th child, and I have used other wearable carriers before with my other kids but the straps and clicks drove me nuts. This wrap is easy to use and so soft. My 2 month old was asleep within 15 mins of being in there. Will recommend to all the mothers I know :)

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.

Having tried this sling out via my local sling library I was keen to buy this for me and my baby. Being a preemie baby, this sling was perfect. It takes a bit of practice to put on but when you've got it on you can put your baby against your body for a lovely cuddle while you get on with doing things. My LO falls asleep when I put him in this and it's been great when he's been a bit windy or unsettled. I would recommend buying this if you've tried it first at a local sling library, and getting some advice about it first. It will fit anyone - both me or my husband can wear this comfortably. I opted for black because it was cheaper than the other colours at the time although admittedly I wish I had chosen a brighter or lighter colour for the summer. It's comfortable enough to wear around the house, although I have to wriggle a bit to breastfeed my LO if I am wearing it. The fabric stays stretchy after several wears - something that I thought would be an issue if I bought a cheaper one. It also helps support your baby with their hips - this is apparently important with carriers and slings! The only downside is that it's very very long, and doesn't come with a pouch or similar to keep it in.

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
