Yes, baby wraps in general are different. They distribute the weight of your baby evenly. There are no shoulder straps or metal buckles, only wide, soft, sturdy fabric wrapped around your body. The Boba Baby Wrap should be wrapped tight to your body. It is not necessary to leave extra room for your baby. Wrapping it tight ensures that your baby will be carried high. Your baby’s head should be high on your chest. Making sure the wrap is not twisted or bunched up will also ensure ultimate comfort. Remember when tying the baby wrap to spread it wide over your baby’s bottom and wide over both of your shoulders. The special fabric of Boba Baby Wrap will conform perfectly your baby’s body. It truly is comfortable and great on your back without any extra padding! To compare baby wraps, baby slings and other baby carriers please visit our Compare Baby Carriers page.
