So I have had a few weeks to really get to know the ins and outs of the Boba Carrier 3g. I initially thought it would liken itself to the the typical, more common baby carriers such as the Baby Bjorn. Though controversial, the Baby Bjorn has quickly made itself synonymous with baby carriers all over the world. I have a feeling that may be about to change.
The Boba Carrier is a baby carrier with the safety and comfort of the baby in mind. There are two different ways to wear your child: in the front, or in the back. What's great is that the Boba has the capacity to hold a child up to 45lbs! My kids pushing 24 and I have had no problems holding her in both positions for extended periods of time, ie: the Zoo. Boba created an ergo dynamic carrier that protects the baby's hips. Ever hear the term "crotch dangler"? Yeah? Well don't worry; this isn't one of those.
Unlike the traditional carriers that may have only supported the baby at the...ahem.. crotch, the Boba has a more "seated" position for the babies. In turn, you end up more so "wrapping" your baby around you during the ride. Awesome.
This product is just amazing. I've had previous carriers where the straps dug into my scrawny shoulder blades during walks. This when she was only two months! During our few visits to the San Diego Zoo (ummm season passes anyone?), I used the Boba most of the day, and Stella loved having the full view of everything, while also having the closeness with her mama. I haven't been able to use the hood yet, being that my kid only sleeps in her crib regardless of how tired she gets.
Putting the Boba on, can sometimes be a test of both flexibility and patience. I found this to be the only potential downside to putting Stella on my back in the Boba. I found that while I'm in the learning phase, it's best to have a Handy Helper (did you catch the Mickey's Clubhouse reference? hahaha!) to assist you. Placing your baby in the Boba takes a bit of practice. But don't worry, Boba's website provides friendly how-to videos to assist in getting comfortable with the motions.
The high back on the carrier is what makes me feel so secure while carrying a bigger baby. Stella is tall. I mean, really tall. 100th percentile tall. And the carrier was able to hold her to me snugly. The extra features are amazing, and really puts Boba ahead of the pack as far as convenience and consumer needs go.
Most everything is adjustable for comfort on the Boba Carrier, and it can accommodate both infants and older children. Price for the 3G is from $120 to $125. Overall, we are thrilled to add the Boba Carrier to our family's "arsenal" of Baby Gear haha!
