Boba Organic Carrier

One of my favorite baby carriers and the one my youngest has been living in since birth is the Sleepy Wrap, so when I found out that the same company now makes a carrier for older kids I had to try it out. The Boba Organic carrier is made for children ages 1-4 years old (15 pounds and up). Unlike other carriers that can accommodate older babies this one has a taller and wider pouch that is more comfortable for the child and wearer. The Boba can be worn in the front or on your back and comes with innovative foot straps to help support tired legs and keep them in a healthy position, the straps also double as ties to fold up the carrier. I just had my 3rd daughter and my kids are very close in age, the youngest 2 are only 20 months apart so my middle child still very much likes to be carried and worn, in fact she has been feeling very left out since I am always wearing the baby. I really wanted this carrier to be able to wear her and give her that cuddle time while keeping my hands free.

The Boba arrived in the mail while my daughter was sleeping, when she woke up she was very grumpy ( woke too early) so I put her straight in the Boba. She cuddled up on my shoulder and was happy as can be. Her older sister ( only 3/13) wanted to try it too so I tried to switch the girls. My middle daughter loved it so much she cried when I took her out! My husband is a fantastic dad who wears his kids ( I love him for it!) so he was interested to see what he thought about this carrier. The extra padding and the great neutral color schemes appealed to him and the fit was great too. We have gone to the zoo twice with the Boba and both times my husband wore our middle daughter on his back the whole time. She LOVES it, not only is she snuggled up close to her daddy but she can see all the animals perfectly. My husband has a bad back and has a hard time carngri the girls for long periods of time. He has worn our daughter ( 26lbs) for 2 straight hours walking around the zoo with no problem. This carrier is a MUST HAVE for any family that likes to wear their kids beyond newborn. The Boba is made of certified organic cotton so it is nice and soft, easy to clean and very reasonable at $99 oh and did I mention it’s made in the USA. I HIGHLY recommend the Boba and to encourage you to get one for yourself I have a promo code good for 10% off use code thriftymom at checkout.
