Boba Baby Wrap Carrier – Original Baby Sling Carrier for Newborns (7–35 lbs), Soft, Secure, Hands-Free & Ergonomic, Ideal for Comfortable Bonding, New Parents (Black)

Actually really like this and so does my baby. She is 2 months old and still loves contact napping on me - this has been great in freeing up my hands. We have a separate carrier that we use for outdoor walks but I wanted something soft so that she can still feel snuggled in without me having to use my arms. This is nice and stretchy so it’s really easy to put on and get baby in. I tried another one but it was too short and too tight for my baby.

Best stretchy wrap/sling/baby carrier! So easy to use, baby loves it, I love it. Leaves both my hands free when I'm using it. I wish I had discoved this when I had my first, but glad I found it for my second.

As mummies go I'm a bit of a sling addict and have a fair few in my cupboard. I have two children, the first is now five. When he was younger I opted for a moby wrap and later a mama sling and a baba sling. Both are ok, the sling is great for extra support when carrying an older baby in the hip carry but can become uncomfortable after a while due to all the weight being on one shoulder and the moby takes a while to get the tie right plus because there is no stretch in the fabric you have to get the fit just right before you put baby in. I found the colour on the fabric came off on my clothes too. I didn't get on with the baba sling at all.With baby number two (now five months) I have bought both the boba wrap and carrier 4G. Both are AMAZING.The boba wrap is my favourite wrap by far, its super comfortable for mummy and baby because of the super stretchy soft fabric and its the most comfortable sling I have ever worn. Its so comfy and light weight my baby takes her morning nap in it while I get on with jobs around the house. You can just bring the fabric behind baby's head to support it softly while they sleep and you can get on with life. I love the colour, it goes with everything and I've had so many compliments on the wrap. I really can't say enough good things about it.The carrier is just as brilliant and I use it when I'm out and about and I know I need to get baby in and out of the carrier quickly with no fussing, for example when I'm shopping and jumping in and out of the car (the carrier takes seconds to fit and put baby in while the wrap take a couple of minutes to tie). The combination of wrap and carrier is so good I rarely use the buggy.

This wrap is very comfortable to wear in terms of holding your baby securely and distributing the weight well, as long as it is tied tightly enough. The first time, my newborn drooped a bit low, but we sorted it out with a bit of adjustment. I am hoping to get more wear out of the wrap later on, but two factors have limited how useful it has been to me so far. Firstly, this wrap is very warm, which would be great in winter, but I have felt it was far too hot in the recent hot summer weather. When my baby has been happy in just a vest, or vest and sleep suit, during the day, the idea of wrapping him in 3 layers of thick warm material which hold him next to an adult's body heat is not such a winner, especially if we were going out in the sun or walking some distance so that we would work up extra heat. The other factor has been that this wrap is still not comfortable with my caesarean scar after 8 weeks - whereas I have subsequently forked out the extra for a boba 3g which I have already been wearing comfortably for a couple of weeks, and which is cooler for my little one. Having said that, I am looking forward to this being a great soft, snuggly option in the autumn and winter, as long as my baby doesn't grow out of it too fast.

Pros: Great fabric. Very soft and stretchy and not too warm so it’s perfect for the summertime.Cons: can bit a bit too stretchy so you need to tighten it more than other cotton wraps. Still it may slouch a bit after a while so you need to keep tightening it.Note: I bought the light grey colour as it says so in the box but when it arrived it was actually more of a green tone as you can see by the picture it even matches my green pjs, but I have no complaints as I actually love the colour.

The good thing is the comfort for the baby. However is very hard to put it on, specially when you are somewhere outside or airport. Is too long and you need a mirror in order to fix it correctly.

This wrap is lovely and stretchy and soft so I always feel baby is comfortable. If you have a little one that won't be put down its a great way to get some jobs done around the house, and trips to the shops, walking in woods etc are so much easier without the buggy! I love that it comes in interesting patterns as once you have it on no-one will see your top.If you ensure the fabric is spread out over the shoulders, baby's weight is well distributed, and I can wear this comfortably for several hours. It is essentially a long piece of stretchy fabric which you tie up, once you have done it a few times, it is easy enough, (lots of YouTube tutorials!) although I find I need to look in a mirror ( or winnow of the car if out and about!) to check I have tied it correctly. I do find that baby starts to sag a bit after 45 mins or so of wear, so I usually tighten and re-tie, and you do need to tie it tighter than you would think in the first place. There is plenty of material here to fit even the biggest baby wearer - I am nearly 6' and a size 16-18 and there is lots to spare. I would say though that if you are quite petite this will mean you have it wrapped around a few times to tie it off, and you may end up looking like a mummy in more ways than one!I have also managed to use this to breastfeed on the go, although I wouldn't say it was that easy for me at leastI have bought another sling since this one, the Close Caboo, which is also lovely and maybe a bit quicker to get on.

Beautiful stretchy fabric, lovely colour and so snuggly for holding my baby - was devastated when we outgrew it! Can’t wait to use with the next
