The Boba soft structured carrier is a soft structured carrier recommended uses for newborn-toddler (7-45#) ages, can use it for front carry and back carry. It comes with a foldable removable headrest.
Special Features:
- This carrier offers 3 positions with front carrying and back carrying.
- The carrier has foot straps attached to the carrier which allows the childs legs to be supported and keeps legs in a frog legged position.

Who would benefit most:

- Parents/Caregivers who live in a climate that has mild to cooler temperatures.
- Parents/Caregivers with a child that needs extra head support or a child that might sleep in the carrier.
- Parents/Caregivers who might be concerned their child would unbuckle straps (buckles have safety buckles to prevent opening).
- Parents/Caregivers that need to have their child stretch abductor muscles (inner legs).

My Thoughts:
This carrier is sturdy and curves around carrying a child with a slightly snug position vs the Beco Gemini which is styled flatter. The material is fairly light but sturdy compared to most structured carriers making it nice for hotter weather places. The foot straps are a great feature to have and unique to this carrier.
