Safety Guidelines

Always prioritize your baby's safety when using the carrier. Follow these guidelines:

• Ensure your baby's airway is clear and unobstructed at all times. Their face should be visible and not pressed against your body or the fabric.
• Maintain an upright position for your baby, with their chin off their chest to prevent breathing difficulties.
• Regularly check your baby's temperature to prevent overheating. The carrier is made from breathable fabric, but monitor for signs of discomfort.
• The Boba Baby Wrap is certified "Hip-Healthy" by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. Ensure your baby is positioned with their knees higher than their bottom, in an 'M' shape, to support healthy hip development.
• Always support your baby with at least one hand until you are confident they are securely positioned in the wrap.
• Avoid activities that could put your baby at risk, such as cooking over an open flame, running, or cycling.
• The carrier is suitable for newborns and toddlers weighing between 7 and 35 lbs. Do not use outside this weight range.

Setup and Wearing Instructions

The Boba Baby Wrap is designed for easy, 3-step wearing. Practice with a doll or pillow before placing your baby in the wrap.

1. Step 1: Position the Center. Find the Boba logo tag on the wrap. Center this tag on your belly. Wrap the fabric around your waist, bringing the ends behind your back.
2. Step 2: Cross and Bring Forward. Cross the two ends behind your back, then bring them over your shoulders. The fabric should lie flat and comfortably over your shoulders.
3. Step 3: Secure the Wrap. Take the two ends that are now over your shoulders and cross them in front of your body. Bring these ends around your back again, crossing them, and then bring them back to the front. Tie a secure double knot at your waist or hip. Ensure the wrap is snug but not uncomfortably tight.

Placing Your Baby in the Wrap:

1. Gently place your baby onto your chest, holding them securely with one hand.
2. With your free hand, guide one of your baby's legs through one of the crossed fabric sections.
3. Repeat for the other leg through the other crossed section.
4. Ensure the fabric spreads evenly from knee to knee, supporting your baby's bottom and hips in the 'M' position.
5. Pull the horizontal section of fabric (where the Boba logo is) up over your baby's back and shoulders, ensuring they are fully supported and snug against your body.
6. Check that your baby's head is supported and their airway is clear.

Operating and Usage

The Boba Baby Wrap allows for comfortable, hands-free carrying, promoting bonding and easing daily tasks.

• Hands-Free Convenience: Once your baby is securely in the wrap, you can perform light tasks around the house or go for walks while keeping your baby close.
• Comfortable Bonding: The close contact mimics the womb environment, which can help calm fussy babies and promote sleep.
• Optimal Weight Distribution: The wrap distributes your baby's weight evenly across your back and shoulders, reducing strain and discomfort for the wearer.
• One-Size-Fits-All: The design is fully adjustable to fit various body types (XXS-XXXL), ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for both parent and baby.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and safety of your Boba Baby Wrap Carrier.

• Washing: The wrap is machine washable. Wash with like colors on a gentle cycle.
• Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat to preserve fabric elasticity.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the wrap neatly and store it in a clean, dry place.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the fabric for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Discontinue use if any damage is found.

Specifications

Troubleshooting

• Baby feels too loose/saggy: Ensure the wrap is tied snugly before placing the baby. The fabric should feel taut against your body. Re-tie the wrap if necessary, ensuring all sections are spread evenly.
• Baby feels too tight/uncomfortable: The wrap should be snug but not restrictive. Adjust the fabric to ensure it's not bunched up and allows for comfortable movement for both you and the baby.
• Baby's head not supported: Ensure the horizontal panel of the wrap is pulled up high enough to support your baby's head and neck. You can also use one of the crossed shoulder passes to provide additional head support by spreading it over their head.
• Discomfort for wearer (back/shoulder pain): Ensure the fabric is spread wide over your shoulders and back to distribute weight evenly. If discomfort persists, re-check the wrapping technique and baby's position.
