How to choose the right Boba for you & your baby
First of all, let’s sort out the basics!
All of our carriers are:
If you’re wondering how to pick the right one for your needs the main two points to consider which are:
1 - How old is your baby?
If you’re expecting or have a newborn, the Boba Wrap will be your best friend! The snug, safe embrace and all-round gentle pressure of the stretchy fabric mimics baby’s conditions in the womb, plus the elasticity will give your step a gentle bounce that is sure to sway your tiny babe to sleep! The Boba Wrap is also amazing for practicing skin-to-skin Kangaroo Care
If your baby is already older or heavier and you might want more support when carrying them, then our Boba X is what you need!
With the micro-adjustable seat and panel, the Boba X is another great choice for a small baby. It will take you through your babywearing journey safe and comfortable from newborn to toddlerhood and beyond!
The Boba X also comes with added seat extensions so you can wear your big kiddo ergonomically and comfortably up to 48 months!
Learn even more at our "Boba X Tips & Tricks" blog post!
If your baby is around 6 months or older then a Boba 4GS and the Boba Air are both amazingly simple and affordable options! The Boba 4GS can be used before the 6 months mark with the added infant insert, however, we find most parents like to start off with the wrap and move on to a more structured carrier once their babies get heavier and need more support to carry them comfortably.
NB: This is just an estimate that completely depends on the size and weight of your baby, combined with your tying technique - remember, always carry your baby high on your body and secure snugly.
2 - When do you plan to wear your baby and for how long?
If you’re planning to wear your baby in the first few months of life, the Boba Wrap is an excellent choice both around home and out and about! Although we bet you will love it and continue to wear later on too!
If you only need an extra carrier or are not planning to wear your baby often, but sometimes need free hands when running errands or traveling, we suggest looking at the Boba Air - it’s small, lightweight AND packs away tight, a perfect carrier to throw in your purse “just in case”!
If you’re planning to exclusively babywear or babywear often and for longer periods of time like on longer walks or hikes, getting an adjustable and supportive carrier is a must!
The Boba X will cater to all your needs and fit both mom and dad with the perfect fit adjusters (PFAs) and a practical quick-release breastfeeding buckle. The X also features comfy curved padded shoulder straps with a chest strap on sliders, which makes it especially easy to adjust when sharing a carrier!
Some people are wrap people, some like their carrier as simple as pie and some parents like to geek out on all the features, but at the end of the day, we all just want a safe place to carry our little ones! We are ALL different and that's why it's important for us at Boba to keep all of you in mind when designing our carriers!
