Boba Classic Baby Wrap review

Boba Classic Baby Wrap is the cheapest way into babywearing on this list at $39.99. It is a long stretchy wrap in a 95% French Terry cotton blend with 5% spandex, and Boba says the spandex keeps it from stretching out over time. The wrap is one size for wearers. Boba's method is to tie it once, then pop the baby in and out without tying again, which helps on a day with many naps. It is designed for babies from 7 lb, and Boba's own description says it fits up to 35 lb but works best up to 20 lb, so most families will move to a buckle carrier later. The wrap can also cover a nursing parent, and it is certified hip healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. Boba notes this knit is heavier, warmer and has less bounce than its Serenity Wrap, which matters in hot weather. We compared documented features and published prices.
