My top pick from the Boba collection is the Boba X Carrier. Initially, I was hesitant to order it due to its higher price point. However, its adjustable nature, perfect for newborns, won me over. Setting up the carrier is incredibly simple – with just two clicks, it's on and ready in under 5 seconds. The carrier features a hood to shield the baby's head while sleeping, and the belt comes with a handy two-section pocket. I'm impressed with the fabric's softness and durability. Plus, the long straps have ribbons for easy wrapping, and once adjusted, they stay securely in place. The only addition I might wish for is a pocket on the part that supports the baby's back.

This carrier has transformed my daily routine. I can now effortlessly multitask – handling house chores, working, and spending quality time with my older children. It's even prompted me to explore babywearing workout videos on YouTube, ensuring I no longer have excuses to skip exercise sessions. This carrier has been a game-changer. My baby girl stays close to my heart, whether she's resting peacefully or keenly observing the world. I would wholeheartedly recommend this carrier to any new parent.

I’m a new dad. I realized how desperate I was to have a solid carrier when I woke up one morning, went to make my normal peanut butter toast breakfast and couldn’t because I had a child in my arms (you try making peanut butter toast with a baby in YOUR arms). I was desperate, and my research began.

I was between the Boba X and a competitor. I’m a simple guy. I don’t need patterns. I don’t need frills. I need a carrier that looks great, goes on easy, adjusts easy, won’t make sweat like crazy, and won’t hurt my kid (I’m already panicked as it is). I was already shell shocked and accustomed to helping wife use a carrier that’s was akin to participating in an aerial silks dance together… I needed something simple.

The Boba X is all of that. It’s saved the day plenty of times already. My baby loves it. It checked all the boxes included being approved by the hip people at the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (yet another thing I learned and realized is very important). I’ve used this carrier all over the city, in the house, and on plenty of walks. Our boy loves it.

And most importantly… peanut butter toast is back on the menu. Problem solved.

Must have! Truly simple to use. My newborn fits perfectly. Im happy to know it will grow with my baby was my biggest reason for purchasing. I would buy again ❤️

I love it! From the pale mint color of the pattern, so the ease of equipping the carrier for either my 1yo or my 3yo, it’s the perfect carrier for a busy parent on the go.
We did the wraps for infancy for each of our kiddos, but since our kids are bigger and wearing my son is still the preferred way to spend the weekend, we upgraded, and we couldn’t be happier about it.
My daughter is super excited to go hiking on Mom’s back this spring too!

I’ve been using this carrier with my son since he was 1 month old and he’s 4.5 months now. We both find it really comfortable and use it around the house, while running errands, walking around the neighborhood, and on short hikes. It’s easy to roll up and pack in the diaper bag. I also like that it’s lighter than most options out there that are thick and need a heavy infant insert - he was born in August and we were gifted a hand-me-down Ergo and I kept worrying that he would overheat in it, but not with the Boba. On the flip side, that means you’ll need a thicker layer for cool weather with this carrier. It’s grown with him really well as he’s gotten bigger and has more head control, although he’s super tall - a shorter kid might not be able to see out the sides as easily. It’s easy to wash; we’ve had spit-up, food, and tons of slobber on it and it comes out of the wash looking good as new. I docked one star because it isn’t formatted for hip carry, which means it’s not quite an all-in-one carrier; similarly, it’s difficult to nurse in for large-chested women like myself because it doesn’t move easily to the side. Still my go-to carrier though!
