BobaBliss Hybrid Baby Carrier Newborn to Toddler - 2-in-1 Baby Wrap & Baby Carrier - Pre-Wrapped Baby Sling Wrap Newborn - Certified Hip-Healthy - Soft & Stretchy Baby Sling Carrier- 7-35 lbs (Grey)

I wanted the best of both worlds--a supportive carrier that wasn't too stiff. This is stretchy, but the material is strong. My baby can turn her head either direction and I can adjust the straps to not block her face by sliding the little bands down from one or both shoulder straps. That is one of the most important features. It gives you peace of mind that you're not suffocating your newborn. This is the first carrier I've ever felt comfortable using for a newborn. The other stretchy ones that allow you to carry your baby like a sling always seem like they're just smashing your baby against you with no way to see their face and know they're breathing. This doesn't hurt my back, either, unless I'm bending over a lot. It's perfect for cooking, dishes, laundry, or just walking around. This is wonderful for that colicky period where your baby doesn't want to be set down because of gas pains. Having her belly to belly with me relaxes her. It also claims it does not cause hip dysplasia. It seems comfortable on her thighs and has a wide, thick leg opening.This carrier is easy to get on and take off, and doesn't require two people. You just snap it around your waist, snap in one shoulder strap, put the baby in, and snap in the other shoulder strap. Once you've adjusted it fit you and baby, you can easily do it by yourself. It's also a comfortable, breathable material--thick and supportive where you need it to be, and thin everywhere else. It has not made me too hot like my stiff carrier did. It also seems like it would be easy to throw in a washer on a gentle cycle.This has been a total game changer and life saver. I only wish I'd known about it sooner.

First time mom here and this has been such a life saver for myself. It gives the softness of a traditional wrap but security of the straps and buckles gives me peace of mind. My newborn loves it and he loves contact naps on my chest. Getting him snuggled up in the wrap is easy and didn’t take too long getting used to. We take it out to places and he instantly falls asleep in the wrap. Buy it- you won’t regret it!

This was PERFECT for our 2nd little one. I purchased this for our second child, because I had a wrap for our first child and after moving around with the wrap it would become stretched out and my little guy just not feel secure. However this one total opposite! It provided just enough support for my back and stretch for our growing little boy. This one was also pretty light weight, and breathable which is very important for parent and baby. I loved the color, we got this color because if you plan to use it outside of home you want to be mindful of stains, and different things that can get on it. I loved that adjustable straps, for both the shoulders and waste area. This definitely increased the functionality because it allows the carrier to grow with baby but slim down with mommy if your weight starts to adjust. (Mine did but in the wrong direction. LOL) Last thing by baby did get a little warm in this sometimes, but I didn't mind because we're in the windy city so the heat was an added bonus outdoors. (I pray this helps! God Bless)

Easy to put on, just buckle it around your waist then 2 buckles and baby is snug and supported. Easy to loosen and tighten as needed. Material is soft and light. It's a great combo of wrap carrier material and strappy buckled on carrier. There is also good head support/control plus the material is wide enough to block sun from baby face when tucked.Con: the only issue I incurred is that sometimes it feels straining on my neck because it crosses over in the back. I'm very broad and that may be what causes the straps to slip off my shoulder and go closer to neck. But it's very soft so it's not too painful. I wear my baby for hours so it can't be too bad.

I love this thing. My baby has lived in it when we are out and about and sleeps so soundly. I love it. I’ve used boba baby carriers the last 11 years. I love the cross between the wrap and the belt carrier. I don’t think you’ll regret your purchase. I didn’t notice any smell? But I wash absolutely everything before I use it.It is also incredibly easy to nurse baby in it and to take baby in and out of it without having to unclip everything. I started carrying him in it when he was a newborn and he’s now 6 months and 20 pounds.In the picture it shows you can stretch the straps over your shoulders….but I never do that because then I can’t move my arms to do what I need to do. I’m sharing a couple photos.Anyways, play around with it when you get it. I like having it tighter up around my actual waist. The higher the better when they aren’t nursing. Ideally want to be able to kiss baby’s head.Just remember as a newborn you can’t spread baby’s legs into the frog position, so make sure baby is in her natural position before placing them in it. My baby is 1.5-2.5 months in all these. I don’t have many other photos. But, I use it all the time.The Boba carrier with straps is my other favorite one and use that one now for really long walks now that he’s heavier. That is only because I feel his weight pull more in my shoulders with this wrap carrier. With the Boba carrier I have the weight more in my back and less so in my shoulders. But I still use this when I’m not on a long walk because it’s so darn comfy and easy to nurse and have a sleeping baby in.
