When Little K was ready to move out of his Baby Buddha Stretchy Baby Carrier and into a back carrier, I did my research and decided to purchase a Boba Organic Carrier. The Boba carrier:
- is designed for older babies (roughly 10 months old and weighing at least 15 lbs).
- can be used in both the front and back carry positions.
- is made with 100% organic cotton fabric.
- has a high back for better overall support.
- is designed for you to be able to put your toddler in the back carry position by yourself.
As the Boba Organic website explains, the innovative feature of the Boba carrier is the footstraps attached to the waist belt for the child’s feet to sit in, which not only give tired little legs a rest, but support the legs in a frog-like position which naturally tilts the pelvis, fills out the hip sockets, and aligns the spine. The seat alone on the Boba carrier is wide enough to provide adequate leg support until your toddler is around eighteen months old, at which time the footstraps can be used for a more comfortable ride. This one carrier will accommodate Little K until he reaches 45 lbs!
As with all baby carriers, it’s nice to have instructions on the proper use of the carrier. The Boba Organic website offers detailed photos, a video demonstration of both the front and back carry positions, safety tips, extra pointers, washing and care instructions, and instructions for using the sleeping hood and footstraps. To help you narrow down your search for the perfect baby carrier, the Boba Organic website offers a description of the five basic types of carriers and the pros and cons of each. If, like me, you decide that the Boba carrier will best meet the needs of your family, the carrier is available in a variety of beautiful colours.
Since purchasing my Boba carrier, Boba Organic has introduced the Boba 2G (2nd Generation), which has some exciting additions including a removable sleeping hood. The Boba 2G carrier is available for pre-order from the Boba Organic Website for $118 USD. If you can live without the new additions the Boba 2G offers, have a look online for retailers offering sales on the Boba 1G!
