Boba Bliss V2 Baby Carrier Sea Mist

The smell of this wrap is strong I’m not gonna lie. It says on the instructions not to machine wash unless absolutely necessary but I may have to. The smell is giving me a headache so I’m sure it’s strong for baby too. Read the instructions! Sounds obvious but I’m the type of person that doesn’t read instructions….but read these! They give helpful tips for comfort and safety. My baby is 3 months old and 12 pounds. She fits comfortably in it. She was really fussy while I was trying to get the strap’s adjusted but once I did she fell asleep. I have the other boba wrap and I do feel like it is maybe more comfortable when worn correctly but it’s a hassle to tie or take on and off when you are busy and need to be quick.

Im headed to the airport with our first trip with her and it’s an international flight. So I am practicing with this and getting comfortable with it prior to our trip. I would suggest doing that if you have a trip or event coming up! It is a little bit of a trial and error with strap adjustments and making sure it feels good on your body and baby is secure! So far I feel like it feels really secure and I think it will be easier for travel. I’m glad I bought it. Hope this was helpful!

I caught this one on a lightning deal (the wrap with buckles) I'm a longtime babywearer and I was looking for something in the middle of a wrap and a soft structured carrier. It's easy and quick to put on! The adjustments are a little bit of a learning curve and you have to be gentle with them. If you pull too hard, I can imagine the webbing would rip from the wrap part. My newborn fell right to sleep in it! It can be challenging to get the straps up over your shoulders with out twisting them. There are also two fabric loops (with the boba label, as you can see in the photos) that fall off easily when the wrap is unbuckled. I can see those getting frustrating to keep track of, and I might end up taking them off before I lose them. I don't feel they're terribly ... MoreI caught this one on a lightning deal (the wrap with buckles) I'm a longtime babywearer and I was looking for something in the middle of a wrap and a soft structured carrier.

I like that this is wrap-like without the extra long material. I don't think it would be a great choice for an older baby, say over six months. I find it okay to nurse in.

I have been struggling to find a carrier that I felt like fit me and didn't smother my baby. I am 5'8" and 250lbs so finding a carrier hasn't been easy often it's to tight. This one is perfect and extremely easy to use. Highly recommend.Pros: clips on quick and easy no confusing wraps. Material is just stretchy enough to be comfy for all but wipes clean. The Little loop that comes down on the shoulder straps is unique to this carrier and is one of my favorite features. Makes it very customizable and I never feel like my baby's face is covered.Cons: more expensive than some other carriers.

I love the functionality of this product works exactly as pictured its easy to put on get baby in very comfortable with nice material thats fresh for year round use. My main problem with this carrier is not the actual product the product i really like however the smell is VERY STRONG. Chemically smell that does not go away easily. As soon as i opened it the very first thing i noticed was the smell i aired it out for 2 days and the carrier still smelled very strong. I decided to hand wash the carrier and the smell was still there and just as strong. I wanted to love this product and convinced myself there had to be a way to get the smell out so i machine washed it back to back and the smell was STILL there and smelled even stronger after being wet.

I wanted to love this product and convinced myself there had to be a way to get the smell out so i machine washed it back to back and the smell was STILL there and smelled even stronger after being wet. Needles to say i washed it SIX times back to back with cold, warm and hot water used different detergents dreft, gain and dawn dish soap with baking soda and vinegar. By the 6th wash the smell was still there but not as strong and figured i would give it a go. I dried it on low and once dry the smell was tolerable but definitely not gone. In conclusion i love the carriers functionality however the smell makes it unusable for me personally. I dont think any baby product should have such a strong chemically scent i would assume its unhealthy for a baby to have that scent so close to their face especially for long perods of time. Im not sure if the smell is comming from the actual material or if it just penetrated to the material from the little dry bead bag that comes inside. I really wanted to love this carrier but the smell made it impossible.

When I first began baby wearing I had gotten this very industrial carrier with lots of pockets and quite honestly it felt tactical but also very secure and it didn’t give me any back pain. However, it didn’t feel comfortable for my baby. The second carrier I bought was the mom cozy wrap and I loved it for a time until I began to feel as if it wasn’t secure enough for me and began to cause me back pain. I looked for something that would be the best of both worlds and let me tell you this is the best wrap money can buy. It is both secure and it gives my baby the snuggling feel that she deserves. Although it may seem pricey be reassured that this wrap will feel secure and comfortable for your baby. This is your sign to get this wrap it’s the only carrier you will ever ... MoreWhen I first began baby wearing I had gotten this very industrial carrier with lots of pockets and quite honestly it felt tactical but also very secure and it didn’t give me any back pain.

I received a complementary sample of Bliss Baby Carrier by Boba in exchange for my honest opinion. My 3-month-old granddaughter loves this carrier. It is the perfect mix between a wrap and a carrier. The baby stays calm in the carrier allowing time for me to complete chores and just walking around. This carrier provides a feeling of the baby being safe, alert, and allows the baby to observe its environment while feeling protected by the closeness of the wearer. This also allows for increased muscle strength as the baby is allowed to freely move their head and neck which is supported by the carrier. My granddaughter definitely cries a lot less in the carrier. The baby is content feeling as though they are back in the mother's body as they can rest on mom hearing her ... MoreI received a complementary sample of Bliss Baby Carrier by Boba in exchange for my honest opinion.

The baby is content feeling as though they are back in the mother's body as they can rest on mom hearing her heartbeat, breathing, and the natural moments of motion. This unit is difficult to put on the first few times, with a little practice it becomes extremely easy to wear. I suggest you tighten the straps before placing the baby in the carrier as it is more difficult to adjust once wearing the unit.

Favourite carrier for under 6 months

I have 7 different carriers, from a K’Tan to slings, and a more off-road one designed for heavier bubs on a hike. The boba bliss is like a hybrid version of a wrap and a traditional buckle carrier. The fabric is wonderfully soft with decent stretch whilst the buckles mean there’s far less faff. No struggling with 5 metres of origami while your baby is crying. This is very easy to use, and carries the under 8kg baby very well. Over 6kg and it starts to feel a bit less secure, in part because by that time bub is often trying to stand rather than sit in a parent facing position. I also have a mini monkeys mini sling and a hip seat and I use these for my 6-month old every day. If you have a newborn I can highly recommend the Bliss. The pull down tabs alone make this ... MoreI have 7 different carriers, from a K’Tan to slings, and a more off-road one designed for heavier bubs on a hike.

The pull down tabs alone make this worth the money as they ensure you’re not constantly having to pull fabric away from your baby’s face (unlike the K’Tan and other products like it). I have the sage and the posy colours and particularly love the posy. So cute. If I were to advise anyone on a carrier I would say get the boba bliss to start then grab a mini monkey as bub gets bigger/stronger yet still wants to be your conjoined twin. Later on once bub is heavier and you want to get hiking, invest in something like the MiaMily hipster. That’s also fantastic.

Not suitable for newborn

After reading all the reviews and trying it with toy in store, we bought this with confidence before our baby arrived and looked forward wearing it for his early days to create more skin to skin interactions. However, lessons learnt fast that the big difference between a baby and a toy is newborn's head will fall over without a strong support from back of neck, while a toy's head and neck always stays on aligned. Also newborn would be too short to sit up for his head to get enough breathing space. Third point is the bottom sitting fabric is too wide for nb and basically half of his legs are tucked in and can't come out. Have tried a few attempts with my baby, and he always became irritated and ended up crying so we stopped using it. Now I'm feeling regretted of ... MoreAfter reading all the reviews and trying it with toy in store, we bought this with confidence before our baby arrived and looked forward wearing it for his early days to create more skin to skin interactions.

Now I'm feeling regretted of buying this instead of a more structured baby wear.Anyway, will keep it till our baby grows up a bit more and try again.

The perfect hybrid carrier

I absolutely love wearing my little one in this carrier. It is the perfect combination of safety and flexible material like a stretchy wrap mixed with the ease and convenience of a buckle carrier. I find it much easier and quicker to put on and adjust that my stretchy wraps and my baby feels super safe and secure. He will happily sleep for hours in this, cuddled up to my chest. It was perfect in a recent flight as it was comfortable for me to wear even whilst seated on the plane, not digging in at all.The only change I would make would be not to go for the original grey colour as it immediately shows all of the dribble. If I were to get another I would go for a darker colour.
