I enjoy wearing my toddler, I know that I didn’t take advantage of baby-wearing techniques with my older children, and I sure wish I did!  For some strange reason my children have all been a little extra clingy, and like to be held and carried around everywhere.  So, to utilize a baby carrier with my 2 year old while trying to get things done, works out perfectly.  No matter what chore or task I have before me, I can wear Judah on my back with ease using our new Boba.  Even though he weighs around 27 pounds, the weight is distributed well and I didn’t feel any strain or aches while “wearing” Judah.

I was also able to easily adjust the straps, and place my son in the carrier by myself, to me that is an important feature in a baby-wearing device.  I was a little skeptical about putting a child as old as a 4 year old in the Boba Carrier, but my daughter (who is 4 1/2 years old) fit just fine, and wasn’t a bother to me wearing her on my back.  Of course I probably won’t be “wearing” her much, but I definitely see myself utilizing the Boba with my baby boy Judah, he is the typical “baby” of the family, and can’t stand to not be held.

I can’t find any negative aspects of this Carrier, I feel that it is adjustable, and easy to use, and the look of the material and feel is comfortable and could be for a boy or girl.  Thanks to Boba for providing this Carrier for Judah and I to use.

I love the Boba! I already have one, but my aunt does foster care and gets a lot of babies and toddlers that need constant love and holding. She doesn’t mind, either, which is what makes her so magical (she’s the original baby whisperer, seriously!) Anyway, I’d love, love, love to give this Boba to her. She would use the heck out of it!

The Boba would be for me and my daughter. She’s 15 mos and we’ve outgrown our other babywearing options.

OK; if I were to be a good, unselfish mom, I would give this to either of my two oldest daughters, who both have children of their own (10 months, 2, 3, and 4 years); HOWEVER, I watch the two youngest and I’ve never really had children that close together (my own are 3 girls five years apart and their tagalong little brother who came around 7 years after the last). I find that it is difficult to do housework or anything when I have them, because invariably, one will be awake while the other is sleeping, and they are little, so they want attention. I would keep this for myself; that way, I can DO things in my house without the babies feeling neglected, as I can just carry the awake one around with me :)

I have had a few friends get really excited about this carrier. I am due with my second in a couple of weeks and would have to try it out for my baby and myself I do also have a toddler that I had use a sling carrier with for a year and loved it. This looks like it could accomadate him as well. I love that it is made in the USA! Thanks for the chance to win.

A friend who is currently pregnant with her fourth child and could use some hands free time!

35 Jennifer January 11, 2010 at 12:43 pm

This carrier would be form my husband and I for our newest addition this February. We have a 5 year old and we want to try wearing our baby more this time around.

36 neyat January 11, 2010 at 12:53 pm

I would LOVE to try out this carrier with Owen. We use an Ergo, but it would be great to have a second one to use with him, especially if we could leave one in the car, and one in the house. It’s so cute and looks comfy!!
