So glad to see this article. What gets me the most is that this so called Ergonomic Carrier has a panel that’s only 9.5″ wide at the seat, while a proper ergonomic carrier is usually at least 15″ wide. There is no way that a baby older than like maybe 6 months, going to sit in the right position, where the knees are above the belly button! In Bjorn, the knees will point down! Couldn’t they have made it a bit wider?!

Well Jillian sells the Boba right here on PAXbaby. However if you Google Boba organic baby carrier then you will find their website and they have great images of the adjustable foot straps there =) I think they look pretty convincing! I asked Jillian about the Boba for older kids and she said it was a great choice.

I too think its great that Daddy is wearing baby <3 tooo sweet!

Pixie- Our daughter is 9 months old and almost 20 lbs, so still a tiny girl. I just <3 that her daddy wears her! 🙂 What's a BOBA??? Foot straps sounds great for an older baby. I read on the BabyHawk FB page about a woman whose child likes to put his feet in her pockets and pull her pants down. I actually commented that BH needs to make stirrups for her little cowboy. I didn't know there WAS actually a carrier that did that! LOL!

Not to mention how horribly Baby Bjorns fit small people! I quote “provides the best possible support” ??? Doubtful! I live in the midwest small area and when I had my first daughter 11 years ago this was the only baby wearing option I had access to (didn’t have internet), I believe it was some Winnie the Pooh Snugli from WalMart – I gave up instantly; that thing was just not comfy for myself or my baby, lets face it – it was down right horrible! By baby #2, 9 years ago I didn’t even give it a thought bcz I wasn’t aware there were more comfortable options for small people! By baby #3 I had decided I wasn’t listening to others and was going to set out and do things MY WAY, I never got a structured carrier but I had a wonderful fitted organic cotton muslin sling carrier that really helped me! Especially when she got bigger and wiggly! I just knew I loved baby wearing! So here I am baby number 4 and so ready to buy a Beco, and a few others! Plus browsing the right options for Daddy to haul our toddler around in! Thanks largely to the information age! Because in smaller areas people just don’t know ! You’re so right, we babywearers need to get out there with the word especially in these smaller areas! ~Pixie
