*** MARCH MADNESSS 5 DAY GIVEAWAY - BOBA CARRIER REVIEW & GIVEAWAY $100 value

You already know I love the whole idea of baby carriers and I honestly feel it might make the baby more "lovey" and bond more. I cannot say this is a fact but from my first child being held all the time and LOVING to cuddle (even now that he is almost 10) to my 2 year old that wasn't held all the time fighting you off when you try to hug her or cuddle with her I would say the two might definitely be connected!

I was really excited to be able to review the Boba Baby Carrier! Before I tell you how I feel about it here is a little tid bit from their website about how the Boba Baby Carrier came to be!

"We are a big advocate of baby wrap carriers for infants and small babies and our son virtually lived in the Sleepy Wrap for his first 16 months of life. As he became bigger we started looking for something more practical to be able to continue carrying him.

Soft structured carriers were new to us. We experimented with a few different carriers available on the market. It wasn’t so much that they were digging into our shoulders, but more the feeling of our son not being secure and leaning away from our bodies in the back carries. He also complained that his legs didn’t feel good even when seated facing our back in a wide seated carrier.

So for one year he refused to be carried. Most would think that a blessing. Well, the problem was that he still wanted to be carried, but only in our arms. We started toying around with the idea of creating our own soft structured carrier for toddlers after successfully launching Sleepy Wrap more than 3 years ago.

We were always brainstorming and trying to figure out how to make our design better and ended up first adding a safety buckle so there would be no spontaneous releases. Then a light bulb went on. We just had the best idea- foot straps- to get that digging fabric off of little hamstrings, prevent bigger legs from just hanging and just give them a place to rest- just like the rungs we rest our feet on when we sit on a bar stool. After eleven different prototypes and almost one year of going back and forth, we finally got it right. Our son turned 3 by the time our final prototype was made and although he’s a big guy, he loves it.

We couldn’t compromise; we had to get it right. They had to be butter soft and we even took the extra step of making them with only certified organic cotton. To top it all off, we decided to make them right here in our home town of Boulder, CO with the help of local mountaineering professionals.

And the Boulder Baby carrier- the “BoBa” was born."

Reading all of this about how the carrier was made got me excited because I learned that it was made here in the U.S.A.  I am a HUGE fan of American made products and love to buy American made and support my own countries economy!  So already this was a big plus for Boba!  

Well the Dirty Truth on Boba Baby Carriers is they are GREAT!  These carriers are of the highest quality, my daughter loves being in it (which I assume means it is comfortable for her).  The carrier is also comfortable for me.  I was a little worried when I first decided I might try out baby carrying because my back always hurts.  I thought baby carrying would put me in a lot of pain - WRONG!  The weight is put on your hips which I would assume are very strong because it does not hurt to carry my 2 year old or have her in it for long periods of time.  I love how easy it is to get the carrier on and off, and the padding in the shoulders and waist area.  I also liked that my daughter could put her arms in or out of it and the high back support for her so I didn't constantly feel like she might fall out!  This carrier is built perfectly, I honestly cannot think of anything I would change on it!  Boba gets a big two thumbs up from me & my daughter!
