Vacationing with infants and toddlers is wonderfully rewarding, but also challenging. Strollers don’t cut it in all situations (think hiking treks, city streets, and airports), and let’s face it: while traveling with little ones, you need both hands (preferrably more). I’ve long been an advocate of soft-sided carriers, slings, and wraps for their versatility, packability, and use in all environments and situations, which is why I’m excited for the opportunity to tout the many features of the Boba baby carrier by the Nap, Inc baby wearing company (then give one away to a reader as well!).
The organic Boba carrier (valued at $128) is made from organic materials in the USA, and uses an ergonomic design to support children’s hips, legs, and spines. Optimal for front or back carry, it accommodates babies 15-45 pounds, and is one-size-fits-most, which means that dad can take a turn, too. Oh, and it folds up small for easy packing and comes in gorgeous colors, too.
When my boys were young, I tried just about every carrier on the market to ease traveling hassles, and always came back to those manufactured organically and worn simply, like the Boba. Since my kids have long graduated to walking on their own, I asked reviewer (and mother of a two-year-old and six-month-old) Kate to give the Boba a test run while vacationing on Nantucket, MA, spit-up, sippy cups, Cheerios, and all. She found it easy to get on (whether used front or back), and thought the little hood (included) was great for naps. It worked equally well for Homer (age 2) and Greta (age six months), so when they say it’s designed for baby through toddler, they mean it!

As I disclose with all compensated reviews, Nap, Inc provided me with a Boba carrier free of charge for the purpose of review. While I appreciate this opportunity to try a quality product, their generosity in no way guaranteed a positive review.
