On top of that, it's breathable and helps your newborn maintain the perfect temperature while sleeping snuggled close to you. Both of our testers found it easy to get their babies in the optimal position once the wrap was tied. If needed, this wrap could even be used in kangaroo care of premature babies or others in special care. The first is the Newborn Hold, which is suitable up to 10lbs/5kg in weight and keeps your baby’s legs inside the carrier.

Your Boba Wrap allows you to wear it in a healthy ergonomic position with M-leg position and back in a C-curve. It’s one of the stretchiest wraps on the market, with a high degree of stretch both width- and length-ways.

It’s a slimmed-down, polyester version of the brilliant Izmi Baby Carrier and ideal from birth to 6 months. On a more positive note, the fabric felt incredibly soft, luxurious and breathable, so nice for both myself and Max to use.

You might need a few tries to get your wrap tied perfectly, but it’ll soon be easy as tying your shoelaces. I suffer with a bit of neck, shoulder and back pain, down to years of working at a computer and scoliosis, but using the carrier didn’t aggravate those areas.However, as most parents feel ready to move on from a stretchy wrap around 4 months anyway, I wouldn't really consider this a huge disadvantage. I actually found feeding while using it extremely easy, discreet and convenient as I was able to do it hands-free. On the next occasion, I was carrying him while pushing a buggy to collect my eldest from nursery and we were able to feed while walking.

Made from top quality, 100% organic cotton and designed in Sweden, these make a perfect new baby gift. I think the fabric is beautiful and really comfortable to wear, plus the mix of bamboo and cotton makes it breathable, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The Boba Wrap’s manual is exceptionally clear and comprehensive with written and visual instructions and installation videos also available online. A carrying support, such as a baby carrier or sling/wrap, is particularly suitable for this deep bond.The brand says the wrap can be used from newborn to roughly three years (35lb/16kg), although I think it is best suited from newborn to six months.

Our baby wraps come ready to wear but will soften wonderfully with love and wear, and come packaged in a handy organic cotton tote. An older baby could suck on the shoulder passes, but you may find that you’re ready to move on to a different carrier by the time they reach this stage. For example, the Close Caboo Lite sling has a similar soft, stretchy feel but is more structured for putting on as it comprises two pieces and the rings. It’s soft, silky and strong, much thinner and lighter than conventional cotton-blend stretchy wraps. Boba is a baby-wearing brand started in 2007 by an American couple who went travelling on a budget with two kids.It’s comfortable for both baby and wearer, suitable for all shapes and sizes and brilliantly cosy for keeping the tiniest of babies close to you. So it can be a struggle to prevent the wrap from getting wet or muddy if you're putting it on outdoors.
