Boba Carrier 3G ~ Review

There are many baby gear items I have used with all three of my children, however, a carrier is not one of them! When I first became a mom I didn't think much about using a carrier. Kaelyn was very independent and as an only child, she was easy to carry or push in a stroller. That all changed once Kaden was born though. As I chased around a busy toddler all day, I knew I needed a way to keep my new baby safe and happy. That's when I began babywearing and am so happy I did. Having had such a great experience with it, I knew I would do the same with Caysen. It's much easier to have him in a carrier when we're outdoors, on walks, out shopping or even at home. It's been wonderful! I am always on the lookout for good quality carriers that are comfortable, convenient and stylish...and I know I can count on Boba for all that and more!

After successfully launching Sleepy Wrap more than 5 years ago, Robert and Elizabeth Antunovic realized the need for a way to comfortably continue carrying their growing toddler. They experimented with different carriers on the market, but none were quite what they, or their son, were comfortable with. They began toying around with the idea of creating their own soft structured carrier for toddlers. After a lot of brainstorming, eleven different prototypes and almost one year of going back and forth...they finally got it right and the Boulder Baby carrier- the “BoBa” was born.

A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to review the Boba Baby Carrier and absolutely love it! That's why I was thrilled to learn that they have announced a brand new Boba Carrier 3G! The carrier incorporates the Boba Baby Carrier design that I already know and love, but now includes several new and updated features making it truly one of a kind.


I was sent the Boba Carrier 3G in the Soho print/color.

When the Boba Carrier arrived, I was drawn to the beautiful Soho pattern right away. Isn't it great?! I absolutely love it. The best part...my hubby doesn't mind wearing it either. The black cotton frame and inner lining compliment the beautiful red-hued pattern on the center panel perfectly. I love it!!

As I checked it over more thoroughly, I found the quality to be outstanding! It's durable, well-made and something that will last us a long time! Aside from that, the 100% cotton is extremely soft! The one thing I've found with other carriers is that many of them are not very soft. I appreciate that the Boba Carrier is, especially since it's touching my little one's skin.

I also love the fact that it's made to grow with children! As parents know, quality baby gear can be expensive. But when it comes to safety and quality, I don't mind paying a little more...especially when I know it will be able to be used with all my kids! Designed to hold children from 7 lbs to 45 lbs means I could use it with all three of my kids comfortably! That's amazing!

Of course, after checking it over, I was excited to try it out. As with the Boba Baby Carrier, it was very easy to use! I have tried carriers in the past that were difficult to get strapped in, especially by myself. This however, was a piece of cake. As a busy mom, I appreciate the convenience and ease of use!

My husband and I both have found it to be very comfortable to wear! All straps are fully adjustable to fit parents anywhere from 5'0 to 6'3". My husband is on the tall end of that spectrum and still comfortably wears Caysen for long periods of time. It's so nice to have something that he and I can both wear! And the best part...there is no need to even buy an extension belt or accessory!

The Boba has a few extra inches of height as well which keeps your center of gravity closer to your body and supports your little one's back. It's ideal for both parent and baby!

When we use the Boba Carrier with Caysen, we use the Newborn Carry as he is right at 15 lbs now. We have also used it with Kaden and Kaelyn and used the back carry. Both ways are comfortable and as I said, very easy to put on. We had no problem at all! It's so versatile and works great for our growing family.

The sleeping hood is great for Caysen. It's perfect for times when we're outdoors and it's cold or too sunny. Also of course for when he's sleeping! It easily stores in the zippered pouch when we're not using it.

I love that the Boba Carrier comes with foot straps as well. The foot straps attach to the waist belt for a child's feet to sit in when they're a little bigger. It enables a healthy sitting position and proper leg support for the child. I appreciate that they can be removed when not in use. Kaden doesn't like them much yet, as he has shorter legs...but Kaelyn loves them!

We've been very happy with the Boba Carrier 3G. The quality is fantastic and it's comfortable for both parents and children! It's also fun to wear because it's attractive, as well as convenient and easy for the busy parent to use. I love that it's so versatile and can be used for both front carry and back carry positions. It will come in handy as the weather continues to get nicer and we're out and about more.

If you're looking for a great baby carrier, I would recommend checking out Boba. You can purchase the Boba Carrier for $125.00 at BobaFamily.com.
