the Boba Organic 2G

I got to pick out a new baby carrier for my birthday ... the Boba Organic 2G! After having the Ergo carrier for the past 3 years it was fun to try something new! I chose the Boba mainly because it has the foot-rests for a toddler.

Here are the pluses that I found:

• Super comfy ... straps have a lot of padding and make it nice to wear!
• Adjustable buckles that are attached onto the straps. They move up and down easily and won't fall off!
• Adorable, fun designs!
• The hood can come off! A definite plus for those with toddlers who don't need this feature very often.
• The ergo accessories also work w/ the Boba. I have the front pouch & backpack.
• Extremely comfortable (did I already mention that?). I have carried up to 40 lbs without "feeling" it.
• My children (3 1/2 and 2) both love it too!

Cons:

• Cannot be used for a brand new baby (unless maybe you use the ergo insert or a blanket to help keep baby in? Didn't try as I don't have a little baby) so perhaps this is not a con?
• Can only be used on the front or the back unlike the ergo which has a side option ... but I honestly have not missed this feature
• Does not have a pocket in the front like the ergo ... I do miss this a little bit

As for those foot-rests? Well, I found that they weren't too helpful unless we were going on a hike. Otherwise Josiah doesn't want his foot in them - at all! But they don't get in the way and for the times that we hike I use them, but otherwise ... not so much...of course then there was last night and the boots that are just a tad bit big for Josiah - kept them on perfectly!

All in all an AMAZINGLY comfy carrier that I really like and am glad that I have it. We use it all the time (the Ergo has taken a backseat for now) and I would definitely recommend it to others!

Where can YOU find this carrier (and others)? Check out my best friend from Junior High (yes, we go that far back) Amber's site, Heavenly Hold. She is a knowledge of wealth on all subjects related to baby-wearing and has excellent customer service! She is EVEN selling the Boba Classic which is just like the 2G but is a bit less expensive and not organic. Don't settle for the Baby Bjorn ... there is WAY more out there to choose from!
