Baby Wrap Carrier - Stretch Cotton Newborn Sling, Black

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!

The Boba Baby Wrap Carrier is a wonderful way to keep baby close to you while at home or in public. Velcro baby or not, keeping your newborn close to your body is beneficial for Mama and baby, and health of both is important in those first stages of life and postpartum. My added benefit was in public, especially where I already knew people; the wrap kept even well-intentioned people at bay. Which gave me peace of mind at a time when I was anxious about taking my first infant out in public during sick season. It's helpful to wear around the house so you can be, at least a little, productive in those first months. I did have a Velcro baby that breastfed, so he wanted to be close even when he wasn't feeding. The wrap is comfortable and adjusts to pretty much any body type. I have a long torso and am very top heavy, which I thought might be a problem. However, after a few practice ties (which I did before I planned on using it to go out, so I knew what to do. And I suggest anyone using this do the same!!), I learned what best worked for my baby and my body. Now, if you are prone to overheating, this wrap will not help that! The material is breathable, but when it gets bunched or layered because of the design, you will get warm. I made the mistake of dressing for the (very cold) weather ONE time when planning to use the Boba. After that I dressed lighter and let my little guy and the wrap warm me with a light jacket instead. It's not a complaint just something people need to be mindful of. It's easy to wash, so maintenance is minimal, just throw it in with all the burp clothes you're already washing!! The Sage Green color is very pretty, I was getting everything in green at that time, turns out my little guy is a blue man😂 The Boba is secure, functional, and keeps baby feeling like they're back in your belly, while being right next to your heartbeat. The Boba is wonderful 20/10 I loved it!!!

Recently while pregnant with my 4th baby I bought the new version of the Ergo carrier I faithfully used with my first 3 children. It felt very stiff and not as comfortable as I remembered. Once this baby was born I tried to use it a couple times and both my baby and I hated it. I needed to try something else and decided on the Boba wrap. I had tried a wrap with my 2nd baby 10yrs ago and I never got the hang of it (was not boba) but I was determined to try again. It could not have been more easy. My baby is so happy in the boba and it’s so comfortable for us both. I wear it daily around the house and we go on 3-4 mile walks and he usually sleeps the whole time. I get a lot of comments and compliments and people have stopped to ask me about it. The only thing that is a downside is nothing about the functionality itself but rather the fact that it’s like 20ft of fabric so it’s not the most convenient to slap on when you’re out and about. If I know I’ll be wearing baby once we get to our destination, I’ll put it on at home in front of the mirror right before we leave. I also have gotten the hang of putting it on in the car, which is preferable to outside of the car so that it doesn’t touch the ground. It’s always neatly folded in my diaper bag backpack if I’m not wearing it, I don’t leave home without it. I almost bought the black so that it goes with everything but the grey color was so appealing to me in the stock photos and I’d say the stock photos represent the true grey color well. It’s a really nice neutral warm grey that works really well with my wardrobe and I think the wrap looks very chic. It’s affordable and such a good option for baby wearing.

I bought this because the sizing on the baby k'tan carriers didn't really work for me-- I was annoyingly between sizes. I'd heard good things about this wrap-- the learning curve was not too steep and it was pretty versatile. I haven't used it a ton since I've only had it for a couple of weeks now and it's been snowy and so I have been pretty housebound, but it's been pretty easy the few times I've tried it out. My son is growing pretty rapidly, so I'm not sure how much longer I'll be comfortable, but so far he fits pretty well and my back doesn't feel it. I'm careful to make sure that I've wrapped it tight enough and that the straps are wide across my back and shoulders. My main regret with the boba wrap is that I didn't buy it before he was born so I could have started wearing him in the beginning. Instead, I got this when he was about six weeks old and I feel like I have to get him used to the idea of baby wearing... ETA- My son is now 7 months old. I stopped using the Boba wrap when he was about 5 months old because it was just too bouncy with his weight (he was about 15 pounds when I stopped wearing him). However, I LOVED this wrap before that. I vastly preferred wearing him in the wrap to the stroller because we were both much more content (he cried less and I was more confident in knowing how he was doing). He also fell asleep probably 75% of the time I wore him for longer than 20 minutes, which is kind of a great thing when you need to be sure of a nap. I loved the stretchiness of the fabric in the beginning, but that was part of why I quit wearing it and switched to the ergobaby (which I now also love, but it's less convenient than a wrap in a lot of ways!). I would always put the wrap on really tight and then stretch it for my son to fit in pretty snug. I only felt like it was a little too tight two, maybe three, times. Not a real issue. I also loved being able to put the wrap on ahead of time-- before going in the car, etc-- where other style carriers have to be put on pretty much at the same time you're planning on wearing your baby. I am definitely keeping this wrap around in case of another baby, though I've also heard that solly wraps are better in warm weather (we get SOOO SWEATY while baby wearing! it's kind of disgusting sometimes).

This wrap is a HUGE help to me right now! I have two daughters, a 4 week old and a 14 month old. I had a baby carrier with straps and buckles that I tried to use with my first daughter. She didn’t like being in it but I saved it for future kids. My second daughter loves being held and being close to me so I tried that same carrier with her and while she would go in it, I knew she was uncomfortable in it and would end up not staying in for long. I decided to give this wrap a try thinking she might like it better since it’s just all fabric with no straps or buckles and she loves it! As long as I get her in it while she’s calm and content, she will fall asleep and stay in it for a few hours giving me my arms and hands back to handle and care for my 14 month old and do whatever else I need to do that I couldn’t if I were constantly having to hold her. I learned that you can also breastfeed your baby while they are in the wrap too. While I’m no longer breastfeeding for various reasons, I did try bottle feeding her while in it and I had no issues at all! It may not go as smoothly every time, but it certainly made things a lot easier the one time I did try it not having to take her out and fully wake her up and risk her not wanting to go back in if I need to get some things done. But I would only bottle feed her in it if actually needed to and wouldn’t make it a habit because she would still need diaper changes and time to just be out of the wrap. However, I can see it being beneficial if I’m out and about with her in the wrap and need to feed her. Overall, I love that I’m able to do pretty much everything I need to do while my daughter is in this wrap. It’s comfortable to wear for up to 2-3 hours at a time, which is how long I typically keep my daughter in it before taking her out and giving her some free hours to stretch out, do floor time, and spend time with dad and breathe a bit because baby can get hot in the wrap over time. So far I’ve had no issues. The fabric is very long especially if you’re short like me (5’2) so when putting the wrap on, it does drag on the floor. I don't particularly like that but it’s not a deal breaker. Other than that, I haven’t found anything else to not love about this wrap! Highly recommend!

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.

I wanted to love this, because my Baby Bjorn carrier kills my back, and I needed a solution. I felt sure this would be it because of the rave reviews. It's not exactly what I was hoping for, but it definitely has some pros. Here are the basic details of my situation and the pros and cons for me. Situation: My baby boy is 9lbs, 8 oz currently, but I started using this when he weighed around 7lbs. He suffers from severe acid reflux, which constantly wakes him up and prevents him from sleeping for more than 1 hour at a time. He's a preemie (born at 31 weeks) and is now ~2.5 months old; ~3 weeks adjusted. I am 5'6 and am not overweight but not petite either. Overall, I am in good shape but not a fitness queen as of late. Pros: My boy will sleep for hours in this, so that is a major pro. He won't sleep this well anywhere else except in his car seat in the car while it is moving. It doesn't hurt my back right away like the baby bjorn carrier. It's less expensive than a lot of other options. There are several colors to choose from. Cons: - I HATE putting this on. There is so much excess fabric that it's hard to handle. If your baby is crying while you are trying to put this on, you feel every darn second, and it's easy to get flustered. - The excess fabric is a bit annoying once you have on. Yes, you just wrap it around as many times as you need, but I find it uncomfortable. My husband is 6'4 and is great shape, and it has excess fabric for him as well. - I saw lots of reviews that mentioned tying it very tightly and keeping the fabric neat/not bunched. I find it quite difficult to do this when putting it on. I watched the YouTube video and followed instructions, and at this point, I have still found it impossible to get it tight enough to prevent my baby from eventually drooping down very low. I start with his head against my chest and him sitting upright, and without fail, he always ends up in a slouched sling position below my breasts. In addition, I can never get the fabric to stay as neat and orderly as it appears in all the pictures/videos. Because of all this, it does start to hurt my back, and the position can be uncomfortable for me. I wish it would hold him up against my chest because that is so much more comfortable for me and allows me to get more done. Perhaps I will get better at this, but I have tried many times (with a lot of effort and hope, haha) and still have yet to accomplish it. It's simply frustrating to mess with, and I sometimes dread putting it on. Overall, I just wish there was less fabric (or size options) and that it was a little less stretchy and more sturdy. On the positive side, he'll sleep once I finally get it on and get him in it.

I enjoy having this wrap, and it has been money well spent. It does tend to get warm while wearing my little one, but that is to be expected when you have two bodies against each other. It took me a couple of times practicing and one YouTube video to figure out how to put it on properly, but now I can throw it on quick. My only complaint is why is there such a massive warning label on it? I haven't looked closely enough to see if I can cut it off. It's just very unattractive, and I have to lay the fabric just right so it doesn't stick out or show. Other than that, I have zero complaints and use my wrap all day most days to carry around my baby. She enjoys it, because she sleeps a good while for me while she's in it.

Love love now I know how to tie it correctly. Sturdy it's all about creating tension and knowing what your doing. I went to a sling library to learn correctly x

Ich nutze das Tragetuch seit der 2. Lebenswoche meiner Tochter und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Mittlerweile ist es seit fast drei Monaten regelmäßig im Einsatz – teilweise gefühlt den ganzen Tag. Da wir es so häufig nutzen, habe ich inzwischen sogar ein zweites Tuch bestellt. Das Tuch lässt sich schön eng wickeln und durch das elastische Material gut an die Größe von Baby und Tragendem anpassen. Auch die Anhock-Spreiz-Haltung lässt sich damit bei uns gut umsetzen. Durch die große Länge kann mein Mann es ebenfalls problemlos nutzen, obwohl wir unterschiedliche Körperformen haben. Meine Tochter fühlt sich darin sehr wohl und genießt besonders die enge Nähe zu meinem Körper. Wenn sie wach ist, lasse ich ihr Gesicht frei, sodass sie ihre Umgebung beobachten kann. Wenn sie einschläft, lässt sie sich bei uns gut im Tuch beruhigen und ich habe gleichzeitig beide Hände frei. Ich habe zwischenzeitlich auch andere Tragehilfen ausprobiert, weil ich etwas gesucht habe, das schneller anzulegen ist. Für meine Tochter waren diese bisher allerdings weniger angenehm. Beim Tragetuch scheint sie sich durch die enge und körpernahe Passform besonders wohlzufühlen. Auch nach häufigem Waschen bin ich mit der Qualität zufrieden. Bisher konnte ich kein Pilling feststellen und die Farbe ist bei uns gut erhalten geblieben. Außerdem gibt es noch eine praktische Anleitung dazu, so dass man es als unerfahrene und ungeübte Person schnell wickeln lernt. Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: Die Farbe des Tuchs entspricht meiner Meinung nach nicht ganz der Darstellung auf den Produktbildern. Fazit: Ein hochwertiges und sehr praktisches Tragetuch, das bei uns seit fast drei Monaten täglich genutzt wird. Besonders die Elastizität, die gute Anpassbarkeit und die lange Größe gefallen mir. Für uns hat es sich im Alltag so bewährt, dass wir mittlerweile sogar ein zweites bestellt haben.

SNSで見て、二つ目の抱っこ紐として購入。最初は付けるのに少し練習が必要ですが、慣れると簡単。どんな体型の人にも使えるのが良い。新生児の頃から使えるし、赤ちゃんも中でスヤスヤ眠ってくれました。泣き止まないとかはこれで抱っこしながら家事もできます。 デメリットは布が長いので外出先では巻き直しが困難なこと。巻き直ししないような近所への散歩や買い物、家の中の使用には最高です！

I originally added this wrap to my registry and received it at my baby shower. My baby is 10 weeks old now and since 4 weeks old we have used it every day. I recently ordered a second one because we use the first one so much. We go on walks, I can still get stuff done around the house, and she can have a really good nap. We spend most of our day using it! It is certified hip safe which is very important. I highly recommend for all parents. I’m 5’ 7” and my partner is 6’ 3” and we both use the wrap. Machine washes well and doesn’t stretch out as you use it.

Ottima fascia di qualità. Il mio bebè si è fatto le migliori dormite all'interno. Soldi ben spesi soprattutto nei primi mesi, quando il bimbo non pesa troppo. Ora a 5,5 kg la uso ancora senza problemi
