Boba Carrier Review

Since moving to our new home one of the things that has changed is that we walk more places. Our new house is not only on a busy street but it is also within a mile of many of the places we regularly visit including church, the pet store, the fabric store, the book store, and the mall. (Please note the grocery store is also within walking distance but that would involve me needing a huge wagon to haul things home in.) This has been great because it encourages me to walk more and the kids love it however their stamina is not always what it needs to be to make these trips and this is where our new Boba Carrier has been wonderful!

Usually when we go I put the two younger kids in the double stroller and let B walk but I always make sure I have the Boba with me so that when he gets tired I can help him out too. As you can see he is quite comfortable in the Boba and can ride in it for a long time.

The Boba Carrier is also super simple to get on and off. Two big buckles and strap adjustment is all it takes which makes it the perfect carrier for E and I to share. In fact, E will frequently put C in it as we head to church since we are normally late and we have to hurry faster than his little legs will carry him.

As you can see you can easily wear the Boba Carrier on the front or back although I much prefer the back with my older kids. I should also note that although I have carried D in this carrier I still much prefer my Boba Wrap for him as I feel he is more secure and it is easier to get him in and out of since he can't help me like the older kids.

When putting the kids on my back using the Boba Carrier I have found the easiest way to do so is to put on the waist buckle and then have them get on my back like we are going to piggy back. I will then lift the top of the carrier up behind them and put it over my shoulders so that they stay in the piggy back position. It's easy to do and I love that I can get the big kids on my back all by myself.

We love our Boba Carrier and I highly recommend Boba for anyone looking for a great baby carrier. And if you want a chance to win your very own make sure you head over to our Oh Baby Baby giveaway event!

  2. I as wondering how this would measure up against a wrap like the boba. With already having bak issues, I would think that carrying in the front would be easier. ~Vala Marini

  9. I have heard so many great things about the Boba carrier. I love the Tweet design but it doesn't show as an option on the website (or I am overlooking it.) What a great way to keep baby/toddler/small child close. Their prints are super.
