How to Use the Boba Classic Wrap

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Find the Centre
   Unfold the wrap and locate the Boba logo. Position it over your navel with the logo facing outward—this is your starting point.

2. Cross Behind Your Back
   Take the two loose ends and cross them behind your back. Bring each end up and over your shoulders to the front, forming an “X” across your back. Keep the fabric flat and untwisted.

3. Tuck into the Centre Panel
   Gather both shoulder pieces together and tuck them under the centre section (the part with the logo), keeping the tension snug as you do.

4. Pull Down and Adjust
   Pull the tucked pieces downwards—this will raise the logo panel up over your chest. Adjust the fabric so it fits snugly and hugs your body.

5. Cross in Front
   Cross the two ends over your chest (just above the sternum), then wrap them around your waist. No need to leave extra room—baby will fit snugly once placed inside.

6. Tie it Off
   Wrap the remaining fabric behind your back and tie a double knot. If there’s extra length, you can tie at your back, front, or side—wherever feels most comfortable.

T.I.C.K.S. – Babywearing Safety Guidelines

Always follow the T.I.C.K.S. rules for safe babywearing to ensure your little one stays secure, comfortable, and supported in your Boba Wrap:
 

T – Tight
The wrap should be snug like a hug. A tight fit prevents baby from slumping and supports your back by distributing weight evenly.

I – In View at All Times
Your baby’s face should always be visible. Avoid covering their face with fabric or clothing so you can check their breathing easily.

C – Close Enough to Kiss
You should be able to tilt your head forward and kiss the top of your baby’s head. If not, raise the wrap higher on your torso.

K – Keep Chin Off Chest
Ensure there’s at least two fingers’ space between baby’s chin and chest. This keeps their airway open and unobstructed.

S – Supported Back
Your baby’s back should be well supported in a natural, ergonomic “C” curve. The wrap should hold them firmly against your chest with no slumping.
