New 3G Boba Infant Child Carrier - Tweet

Boba Inc. is thrilled to announce the brand new Boba Carrier 3G! This carrier incorporates the Boba Baby Carrier design that so many have come to know and love, and now includes more than a dozen new and updated features, making this truly a one of a kind baby carrier! This carrier features a high-quality cotton fabric, ideal for any activity, both indoors and out.

The new Boba Carrier 3G is designed for babies and toddlers alike with its incredible features not seen on other soft structured baby carriers. Available in 4 beautiful patterns and 3 stunning solid color combinations, the Boba Carrier 3G is the perfect option for any baby wearing family! The new Boba 3G is a Soft Structured baby carrier (SSC) that is intended for children between 7 to 45 lbs. Boba has a few extra inches of height to keep your center of gravity closer to your body and support your little one's back.  The innovative thing about the Boba carrier is that there are foot straps attached to the waist belt for the child's feet to sit in enabling a healthy sitting position for the child.  The footstraps not only give little tired legs a rest, but support the legs in a flexed abducted (froglike) position which naturally tilts the pelvis, fills out the hip sockets, and aligns the spine.

This just released Boba 3 G collection is the newest Boba collection available in SEVEN beautiful color combinations. Boba 3G is the ideal soft structured carrier for your little one, designed to meet the specific needs of children between 7 - 45 lbs. Featuring our patent-pending foot straps, Boba keeps your child's legs at a healthy 90-degree angle to promote proper circulation and posture.

• The foot straps attached to the waist belt keep older children comfortable while enabling a healthy sitting position. The footstraps not only give tired little legs a rest, but support the legs in a flexed abducted (froglike) position which naturally tilts the pelvis, fills out the hip sockets and aligns the spine.
• The new infant conversion option allows you to use the Boba Carrier 3G with babies over 7lbs. The best part is that there is absolutely no insert or accessory needed! Simply follow the instruction booklet included with your Boba Carrier to learn how to use the new Boba Carrier 3G for your newborn.
• Boba has a few extra inches of height to keep your center of gravity closer to your body and support your little one's back. The Boba Carrier 3G is approximately 2-3"  higher than other soft structured carriers.
• The new 3G design is made to fit parents of all shapes and sizes without purchasing an extension belt or accessory. All straps are fully adjustable, and elastic bands are provided so you can comfortably tuck the straps away once you have the carrier adjusted for you and your child.  

The Tweet carrier features a brown cotton frame and inner lining which perfectly complements the beautiful patterned center panel. The Tweet design is the original Boba Carrier print and winner of the 2010 Spoonflower Design Contest! Winner Dennis Bennett's stunning nature-themed design has been the most popular design in the Boba Carrier collection.

We are a big advocate of baby wrap carriers for infants and small babies and our son virtually lived in the Sleepy Wrap for his first 16 months of life. As he became bigger we started looking for something more practical to be able to continue carrying him.

Soft structured carriers were new to us. We experimented with a few different carriers available on the market.   It wasn't so much that they were digging into our shoulders, but more the feeling of our son not being secure and leaning away from our bodies in the back carries. He also complained that his legs didn't feel good even when seated facing our back in a wide seated carrier.

So for one year he refused to be carried. Most would think that a blessing. Well, the problem was that he still wanted to be carried, but only in our arms.  We started toying around with the idea of creating our own soft structured carrier for toddlers after successfully launching Sleepy Wrap more than 3 years ago.

We were always brainstorming and trying to figure out how to make our design better and ended up first adding a safety buckle so there would be no spontaneous releases. Then a light bulb went on.   We just had the best idea- foot straps- to get that digging fabric off of little hamstrings, prevent bigger legs from just hanging and just give them a place to rest- just like the rungs we rest our feet on when we sit on a bar stool. After eleven different prototypes and almost one year of going back and forth, we finally got it right.   Our son turned 3 by the time our final prototype was made and although he's a big guy, he loves it.

We couldn't compromise; we had to get it right. They had to be butter soft and we even took the extra step of making them with only certified organic cotton. To top it all off, we decided to make them right here in our home town of Boulder, CO with the help of local mountaineering professionals.

And the Boulder Baby carrier- the "BoBa" was born.
