Testing the Boba Bliss Baby Carrier

I was previously using a stretchy wrap and had a more structured carrier ready for when my son was a bit bigger. The Boba Bliss is a brilliant combination of the two. It is super simple to put on and my husband is much more confident using this than the wrap we have.

My son felt very safe in it and happily slept for long periods. I love that it is still soft and stretchy like a wrap but the waist and buckles really make it easier to quickly get baby into the carrier, especially if they are mid-meltdown. The band's around-the-shoulder passes are a lovely feature, making it much easier to keep baby's airways clear when you are wearing them. The sling packs down quite small and fitted in my changing bag when needed.

This product has really helped with my daily tasks alongside being a mum. I am able to do things that I couldn’t do before if I was by myself such as washing up, hanging the washing out and lots more.

The ability to wear your baby gives you more time for chores, more time for playing with siblings, or more time for yourself! Little ones nap for longer when snug against you. No need to be battling with the pushchair on country walks or in busy supermarkets when you can pop them on you safe, secure and snug.

My baby was two months when I received this product and we still use it as a 7-month baby. I have found that it grows with them and is so adjustable. My son is 50th percentile and still fits comfortably.

I have recommended this sling to so many new parents and have even bought one for my sister who is expecting her first baby soon! It's really changed my life after using it.

Final thoughts

This Boba Bliss baby carrier is the perfect combination of a wrap and a carrier. It combines the ease of carrier straps taking away the confusion of tying, whilst also keeping the stretch and comfort of a wrap, making it easier to put on yourself.

All the straps are adjustable meaning the Boba Bliss fits all sizes as well, allowing you to adjust the carrier to what you find comfortable, whilst also distributing the weight to relieve pressure on your back and shoulders.

To top it off, there is also a range of colours to choose from, meaning you can choose one that will complement your wardrobe.
