As many of you know I love Babywearing. I have used Boba for 3 years now and I absolutely love their SSC's. I have used many others but to me none are as wonderful as Boba.
I am a Boba Ambassador but I can assure you my reviews are 100% my own, and true. I really do love Boba.
Today I am sharing my review for the BobaAir with you.
I received the BobaAir in Gray, which is one of my favorite colours! It will also be much cooler in the coming weeks in this heat!

We went for a family walk and decided I would wear Justin in the BobaAir to give it a test! Not only was it ultra comfortable, it was also extremely lightweight for me and Justin loved it too! Not bulky or hot which is a huge plus in these hot summer months.
It wasn't a really hot evening when we went out so I am
waiting for a super hot day to bring it along with us again to see how it fairs but I have a feeling it will be super airy for the both of us. Babywearing in the summer can be super hot especially while I'm still losing this last bit of baby weight so this is a carrier that is perfect for summer heat.
I will admit I was very surprised to use the BobaAir and not have any big comfort issues. While it may not look very comfortable at first glance, it really is.
I wore the BobaAir for just over and hour in total this outing. No padding didn't really make too much of an issue for us. I could however start to feel a bit of discomfort in my shoulders nearing the end of the walk when Justin wanted to nurse and go to sleep so he was a bit squirmy... Which is when I think the padded shoulder straps would have prevented but I really have no big complaints.
I wore it again to run to the store last night and again, no complaints. It's simply a great carrier. My favorite part about it? It folds its self down into a pouch that can be taken anywhere and is so super compact! With a price point of $65 you can't go wrong!
I will of course use my Boba 4g and beloved favorite 2g for long outings and trips but for short walks or grocery trips the BobaAir is a fantastic choice! I will absolutely keep it in my purse and diaper bag to use on the go!
If you are looking for a budget friendly, good sturdy carrier without the bulk, weight and comfort compromise the BobaAir is a perfect choice!
As always, I wanted to remind about safe babywearing. I check the hashtag on Instagram often and see a lot of people babywearing incorrectly.... It takes time and practice (heck I can't even wrap on my back yet, I'm too scared!) so please do your research and practice safe babywearing!

Great review!! Looks like it would be perfect for the short trips!
ReplyDeleteThis looks very comfy. I'm not a momma but will have to try this once I am!
ReplyDeleteI wish they had these options when my kids were babes. I was not a fan of the Baby Bjorn and neither were my kids - they cried when they were put in it. this looks a little more flexible and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI had my son just before the baby wear craze. I wish I trusted it more. I was always afraid I'd do something wrong and drop him! http://www.parentinghealthy.com/
ReplyDeleteWe made the carry out position mistake for a little while, but quickly learned to face in! We have a "cool" carrier, too - you have to in the GA heat!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an awesome baby carriers. The baby looks so comfy and I love the look of the material.

That looks like a great way to carry the baby. I will have to pass this along to my sister in law who just had her first.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great carrier! Wish they had been around 10 years ago when we needed them!
ReplyDeleteI have a girlfriend who loves her Boba carrier. I really wish we would have gotten the hang of them when the boys were young.
ReplyDeleteI used a Boba for my youngest daughter and passed it on to a friend. She loves it as much as I did.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute photos. My friends love their baby wearing devices.
ReplyDeleteI loved my baby carrier. I could not live without it.
ReplyDeleteThis one looks really functional. I tried a couple of different baby slings and eeeek~! They were horrible! Never had the chance to try this one!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really easy to store and use. I tried a different carrier when my kids were infants, and it was such a pain to use.
ReplyDeletei'm a big babywearing proponent. loving this brand, i go one for my sister.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cozy for the baby! And you and he look delicious together!

I have seen a lot more about babywearing lately! I'm not going to be participating in the trend anytime soon, but maybe when I get grandkids I can share this with my daughter. I love that it folds up for easy carrying!
ReplyDeleteBabywearing saved my sanity. It was so much easier to have my hands free while running errands.
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends is pregnant with her first baby. I think she'd love to read this review. I don't think she has a carrier as yet.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this brand before! If I had babies, I would totally do the baby wearing thing too! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great baby carrier. I haven't heard of this company before. But the baby looks so comfy and the material looks like something babies would like
ReplyDeleteI have been really curious about the boba air so thank you for the great review. I was wondering how functional it would be in this scorching summer heat. It also folds so tiny which is super convenient!
ReplyDeleteI tried babywearing but it didn't work out. Glad it did for you, seems easy!
ReplyDeleteOh I haven't seen this one. I'm an ambassador too, I have the 3G and the 4G and the hoodie, but never saw this one. I'd love to see how light it is compared to the others. Thanks for sharing, your pictures are adorable! I love baby wearing pictures!
ReplyDeleteSo snuggly. If we had kids, I'd totally wear one!
ReplyDeleteI miss having ones so little I could wear them. This looks like a great carrier.
ReplyDeleteBobaAir looks like a wonderful baby carrier! I can't wait to have another to babywear!
ReplyDeleteI love to babywear. My youngest is in the stage that he wants to walk... :( I would love to of had this with him.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a great carrier to just have on hand just in case. I could see how it's not really made for long periods of use though.
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I never did baby wear. Mostly because we didn't have all the great products like now. I would have used them if we did! Wonderful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great baby carrier. I have heard that baby carrying is really great so that you are able to be more mobile!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy there are so many varieties of carriers now. I didn't have the options with my first (17 years ago), but with my second I wore him constantly. It's just so much easier for both mom and baby. Great review.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great way to baby wear. Too bad mine have all grown up.
ReplyDeleteI never got into babywearing with my son. If I ever have another, I think I will!
ReplyDeleteWe love wearing our little guy! This post is great!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had one of these when my girls were babies. It would have helped immensely.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love my Boba! Looks like the Air is super comfy!
ReplyDeleteGreat review, my daughter is due in September so I am looking at baby products to buy and review! I never had something like this when I had babies.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see the care warning. My DIL is a pro at baby wearing but I can see where it could be hard to learn.
ReplyDeleteI'm a believer in baby wearing. My daughter lived in our Dr. Sears Over the Shoulder Baby Holder.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great product. I may try this since my little chunker has outgrown her Baby Bjorn.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of Boba too. Safe AND comfy. Win/win.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great review! I have a grandbaby coming next winter and am adding this to my list of things to buy!
ReplyDeleteMy friend recently had a baby. I'll have to recommend this to her.
ReplyDeleteI miss that stage. I loved having my babies snuggled up with me.
ReplyDeleteI never could get the hang of wearing my kid. I did try but now he is a bit to big at 6 years old but this looks like a great product.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great carrier! I wore my third a lot because it made things so much easier!
ReplyDeleteI could not resist commenting. Exceptionally well written!

ReplyDeleteMy best friend has a boba! She adores it!
