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

I initially purchased the Balboa baby sling from BuyBuyBaby (my other favorite baby gear store) but returned it within one week because I hated it because my baby hated it! The sling was difficult to get right for my then 6 week old who was too young to put in that contraption - no matter how tight I made the sling (which for those of you who have tried it, once you make it that tight to fit a tiny tiny person, it is extremely difficult to get off - especially when your baby is wailing!) I tried that thing a few times during that week but I never felt comfortable that no matter what I was doing, my baby was breathing properly and that it was safe. So I returned it. I initially did NOT want a long wrap with lots and lots of fabric that I had to figure out what to do with. Not to mention that I was uncomfortable with the thought that the fabric might unravel and that I might drop my baby! But after failing at one of those pre-made slings, I had to try something that I could make on my own and women had been using for centuries to carry their little ones. So I did a little bit of research on wraps and slings and narrowed it down to this or the Moby wrap from Amazon. I don't remember what I saw that made me select the Boba over the Moby (price maybe) but I went with this. So far this product is amazing! This is my favorite item next to my baby's car seat, here's why: 1. I can hold my baby super close to my heart and chest giving both me and my baby lots of comfort. I didn't realize how much I missed having that close connection with my baby during my pregnancy until I wore him in this for a couple of weeks and remembered that this little guy that i was hugging on the outside of my body was just inside my body a few short weeks ago. 2. The color in grey is nice and subtle and sometimes when I wear this wrap, it looks like its a cool part of my outfit (not really but at least I don't feel like i'm wearing a backpack). 3. I can wear the sling all day long. When I put baby in his car seat, I hop into the driver's seat and take off without unclipping/unwrapping/undoing anything. When I get to where I need to be, I just pop baby back in and we head off. I didn't realize how much mobility this offers me compared to a stroller but if you don't have one of these - you seriously need one. 4. BEST thing to get baby to go to sleep. You can wear this 3 ways from what I've seen so far (infant hug hold, cradle hold, and baby hug hold -where the baby's legs are dangling from the bottom). I use this in the cradle hold to get my baby to sleep and tuck him in the fabric to hold his head secure and his body snug to mine. With a few bouncy bouncy bouncies on a quick 2 minute walk, my baby is out for his nap! I love the concept of this baby carrier, which is why i gave it 5 stars. However, I am on the lookout for a cooler version of the wrap for the summer time as the material doesn't breathe very much and after an hour walking with my son, he gets too hot and sweaty (for those of you who are trying to figure that out, when you are hot and sweaty, so is your baby because heat transfers when you are holding your baby). If you currently do not have a baby carrier and have a newborn or infant less than 12 weeks - I HIGHLY recommend the wrap. it is perfect for you and your baby and is probably easier to get him accustomed to being in this early on rather than later on.

Not sure how I would survive without this. It’s my second baby and I was determined to learn how to baby wear. I watched a lot of YouTube videos and like all things you have to try it at least 10 times. I live in a warm climate so I love the bamboo bc it’s cool and it’s also stretchy. You have to wrap yourself tighter than You think so it’s not too loose. Your baby shouldn’t be sagging. I started we about 1.5 months with my baby and wish I she done it even sooner. You can get some things done at the computer, fold laundry, etc while they nap in this thing. My baby is 4 months now and she will nap on the go in it and it works well for errands (she doesn’t like the stroller. Always wrap your sled before you leave home and it gets easier and easier every time. The fabric is so soft and feels like a t-shirt. I don’t that I would wrap a 35 lb baby sill probably start using one of my carriers but thus far it’s been sturdy enough. There are so many benefits for baby and Mommy in baby wearing. Highly recommend it and wish I would have with my first!

My 23lb baby loves to be held, and I've tried multiple carriers without much luck—until I found this wrap! I had avoided wraps in the past because I didn’t want to deal with complicated tying and assembly. I previously tried the Boba wrap with straps and found it super uncomfortable. I also have the Tushbaby, which works for quick trips but puts a lot of strain on my back and still requires one arm to support my baby. I've owned two other strap-style carriers that have been sitting untouched for over 8 months. I honestly thought I’d just have to live with sore arms and a tired back—until now. This wrap is amazing! I was a little intimidated at first by the idea of wrapping, but it’s actually incredibly simple to use. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I even made a full crockpot dinner while wearing my baby—and I felt zero pain afterwards! My back didn’t ache, she didn’t feel heavy, and it was totally comfortable. The fit is perfect for my chunky girl, and I wish I had bought this 10 months ago. Plus, we live in Florida and it’s breathable enough to wear outside without overheating. The 100% cotton fabric is soft, lightweight, and ideal for daily use. If you’re on the fence, get this wrap. Total game-changer!

I got the classic boba wrap, the moby, and the serenity boba, and I loved the serenity so much that I bought two more! My baby loves being held, and the other wraps I’ve tried have fabric that doesn’t stretch as much, making it less forgiving if you tie up too tight and super easy to use. The serenity is super lightweight and stretches around your baby’s body to help them feel more comfortable. I like that it is able to support all body shapes, and I can carry baby safely and easily without back pain unless I’ve tied it too loose and she starts sagging down. Fabric seems to be good quality. My only complaint, which really applies to all wraps, is that the tighter you tie the wrap the less space you have for your baby’s face to poke out. My baby gets overheated when their face is covered, so I’ve had to pull the shoulders down a bit to help her stay comfy.

This product was great for holding up little one. It was easy to wrap him up and keep him secure while walking around in town and on vacation. Great quality for good price. Washed and folds well and maintains softness. The ONlY thing is it is very warm for you as well. This is not optimal in hot weather as you get hot with the added layers. That is a minor issue for keeping baby safe and supported though.

Love this, especially when they’re so little. Soft fabric. Can have a learning curve but it’s handy to have. When the baby gets bigger just watch out for your back as the weight can put some Pressure Ron lower back.

If you're thinking about baby wearing, do yourself a favor and buy this wrap. I'm a first time mom and I had registered for and received two different brands of expensive structured wraps. They turned out to be difficult to use and they were too big for my newborn so he ended up sitting way too low on my body and they were too long for me as I'm only 5 ft tall. I decided to purchase this wrap because I've got a velcro baby and I couldn't just sit on the couch all day holding him. Once you learn how to wrap it, it's so easy to use. I love that it's fully adjustable since you just tie it to fit your body and baby so I can keep using it as my baby grows. The material is super stretchy so it's easy to stretch the fabric around my baby to get him into the carrier without having to bend any of his limbs in an awkward angle and it doesn't lose that elasticity throughout each wear so hes never sagging and I can always kiss the top of his head. It's easy to travel with because it's literally just fabric so I can roll it up in the diaper bag and baby wear outside the house. I love that I can just throw it in the washer when it's dirty and this thing gets dirty because I can't even put my baby down to eat! I also dont experience any back pain with this wrap because the weight of my baby is evenly distributed through my shoulders and around my waist. My only issue is that my shoulders are narrow and the straps slip towards my neck so I have to fold the fabric inwards around my baby's face so its not covering his nose. This is the best money I have spent and it's been a lifesaver. I wear the boba wrap every single day for probably 75% of the day and it allows me to get things done around the house and take care of myself too. This is the #1 purchase I'd recommend for any new moms. Now if only I could convince my husband to learn how to use it too! EDIT August 2025: I was only able to use this baby carrier until my son was 3 months old. While it could still support his weight, I had to tie it quite tight so he wouldn't sag that it wasn't great for summer because we were pressed against each other so firmly that I would get overheated and sweaty in between us and he would fuss to get out. For the price, this carrier was absolutely worth it during the time I used it with my baby, as it allowed me to be hands free but still close to him all day. I plan on using this with my next baby too!

My husband and I picked out this carrier, mainly because it was affordable and had a good reputation. Some cheaper less wrap-like carriers are associated with hip problems, so we didn't want those. I was hesitant about the elaborate process of wrapping it around me, but it gets easier over time. It's still a bit of a hassle though and I'm not sure it's really worth it. Pros: 1) The baby seems to like being in the boba. When she was first born, the boba wrap was one of the few things that made her quiet down and was the only way we could take her anywhere. But now that she's getting more comfortable in her stroller, the boba is getting less appealing. 2) There's pretty good back support. The weight of the baby is fairly evenly distributed so you can carry her around for awhile without too much back pain. 3) It's nice to be able to carry the baby around and still have your hands free. You can even use it just doing chores around the house if you have a baby that wants to be held all the time but you need to vacuum or something like that. 4) It's cheap, easy to clean, and light weight - after all, it's basically just a giant strip of stretchy fabric. Cons: 1) I'm constantly paranoid that she's going to suffocate in there. She's still too small to hold up her head so I try to support her head with part of the wrap, but then I'm constantly fussing with it to make sure her face isn't pressed into the fabric or my boobs. 2) It's hot! I guess this happens anytime you strap another person to your body, but the weather is getting warmer and it's just too hot to walk around outside with her in it. 3) The wrap is ridiculously long. After following the wrapping instructions, you're left with feet and feet of fabric and you can either have a giant tail or wrap it around your waist a million more times. 4) It's kinda a pain to deal with the wrapping. It takes a little while to put on and then you have to maneuver a wiggly baby into it. Where we live, you pretty much have to drive everywhere, so running errands with the boba involves constantly moving the baby from car seat to wrap. It's much easier just to take out the car seat and click it into the stroller. 5) Even if you can get the baby to fall asleep in the boba, you will never get them to stay asleep when you take them out. My husband always compares taking her out of the boba to giving birth - very traumatizing. 6) When the baby gets sick of it, she starts screaming and clawing at me with her tiny little talons. Overall it's a fairly good product, but it's not for everyone. If you're really into wearing your baby and do a lot of walking, then you might really like this. Also it's a nice way to give you husband an idea of what it was like lugging a baby around your midsection for 9 months - although it's not really the same since it doesn't come with nausea, heartburn, exhaustion, ect.
