BobaBliss Baby Carrier Newborn to Toddler (7-35 lbs) - Light & Breathable Toddler Carrier - Certified Hip-Healthy, Adjustable Straps for All Parents, Hybrid, Soft & Stretchy 0-18 Months (Bloom)

I tried 4 carriers until i found this one. This is so comfy and supportive for a newborn. Its all the benefits of a wrap with the ease of a buckle carrier. The bands on the shoulder straps are a game changer to make sure baby has a clear airway. Its so easy to put on and my baby falls asleep right away. Makes chores easier to do while holding my baby. Its also a good price compared to most carriers. My baby is 12 lbs and still super comfortable to wear.

LOVE. Obsessed. I use it all the time. I wanted something I could put on without help, that was comfy and had the feel of a wrap but the sturdiness & support of a traditional baby carrier. I went through so many other baby carriers, and this is by far the best. Fit is great and adjustable. Color is beautiful. Most importantly, my baby feels secure. I use it around the house and when I go out, it never fails me. I would 1000% recommend to any mama out there.

I tried so many carriers, and either I'm not bendable enough to twist around and grab straps while holding a baby, or you need an advanced degree to figure out how to wrap everything around you. This carrier is a piece of cake and so comfortable, too! I can put it on solo and stick baby in. No complaints from him and it's easy to adjust. Highly recommend if you have been defeated by other carriers.

I love this carrier because it is a soft, gentle, stretchy material. My baby is so happy in here and often falls asleep quickly. My only gripe is after only 3 months the fabric is showing some fading and wear. I like this Boba because it gives the softness of the long wraps and features the ease of clips instead of the confusing tucks and folds. I switch this carrier out with the Tula carrier, which is sturdier but also not as gentle. Overall I am glad to have the boba!

I wanted the best of both worlds--a supportive carrier that wasn't too stiff. This is stretchy, but the material is strong. My baby can turn her head either direction and I can adjust the straps to not block her face by sliding the little bands down from one or both shoulder straps. That is one of the most important features. It gives you peace of mind that you're not suffocating your newborn. This is the first carrier I've ever felt comfortable using for a newborn. The other stretchy ones that allow you to carry your baby like a sling always seem like they're just smashing your baby against you with no way to see their face and know they're breathing. This doesn't hurt my back, either, unless I'm bending over a lot. It's perfect for cooking, dishes, laundry, or just walking around. This is wonderful for that colicky period where your baby doesn't want to be set down because of gas pains. Having her belly to belly with me relaxes her. It also claims it does not cause hip dysplasia. It seems comfortable on her thighs and has a wide, thick leg opening.This carrier is easy to get on and take off, and doesn't require two people. You just snap it around your waist, snap in one shoulder strap, put the baby in, and snap in the other shoulder strap. Once you've adjusted it fit you and baby, you can easily do it by yourself. It's also a comfortable, breathable material--thick and supportive where you need it to be, and thin everywhere else. It has not made me too hot like my stiff carrier did. It also seems like it would be easy to throw in a washer on a gentle cycle.This has been a total game changer and life saver. I only wish I'd known about it sooner.

Update:I’ve changed my review three times. I equally like and dislike this carrier. It’s really hard to get baby perfect and it loses slack as you wear it. I’m constantly having to adjust it and tighten. The straps are also supposed to stay on your shoulders which doesn’t happen and they bunch up and move inward as you move messing with the fit. I also put it on apron style as I found that’s better. I don’t understand why they designed it to go on the other way. It pulls down the front of the waistband if you put it on how they advertise.————————————————————-A babywearing Facebook group I was in recommended this and the ergobaby bliss carrier for newborns specifically. I got both to compare. I do have the boba wrap but couldn’t stand the putting on and off.Pros1) I like how I can put a piece of fabric over baby’s head when he falls asleep. He feels more secure when I move around.2) Wrap feel but easy to put on quickly with the buckles3) Does fit a newborn. Started using it when baby was 4 weeks old around 11 lbs.4) I love the slides on either side that can bunch the fabric up and out of baby’s airway.Cons1) Stretches out over time as you wear it and doesn’t feel the snuggest.2) Hard to tighten the straps especially the back one. I thought that buckle was a cool design but it doesn’t function the greatest.3) Side small buckles feel cheap4) Others had said they had to stop using the carrier when baby got bigger than 15 lbs which I can understand with my con #1. So you might not be using the carrier for a long time.5) Wish there was more patterns
