is the boba good for plus size

I believe so. My husband and I go back and forth with this carrier and we've had no issues. When he's carrying our 2.5 year old there's still a lot of strap left over on all the adjustments. It really is a great carrier.

I'm size 14 post pregnancy. Works fine and looks like there is some extra slack. Always email boba support. They are wonderful!

size 20 woman, no problem fitting. the belt probably has 10 inches or so of slack remaining, maybe more. the only thing I have is that the chest strap fits a little strange but I think that is because I'm only 5'5" and it lands across my cleavage, not across my breastbone/chest. I end up placing my hands at that point and kind of holding down on there, if I'm not doing anything else with my hands. Also, my daughter is 38 lbs so I'm getting to the top of the weight limit with her. Maybe with a smaller child it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

The straps have a wide range of adjustment. The maximum measurements can probably be found on the Boba site or by contacting Boba customer service (they have a great online chat option on their website and their phone customer service agents are very helpful as well). I am average size and there is still quite a bit of "extra" strap left at every buckle that I have to roll up and secure. I would think that it would still be comfortable and usable even for a plus-size wearer, but I might contact customer service or visit the site to find the measurements for the straps fully extended.

I tried both the Onya and the Boba 4G. The Boba was more comfortable by far for me due to the padded straps and construction. The Onya was a nice carrier & had some interesting features, but for comfort we went with the Boba.

Hey, sorry for the late response. None of the models in the video are of a bigger size. However, I do think this is a great DVD for some around 180. My friend is around 180-200lbs and she is currently doing the Classic Solution. Nothing in the series is completely out there for anyone of bigger size.

I'm not sure. "Up to 100 lbs" doesn't really help does it? I would ask Boba by going to their "Live Chat". Here is the link. http://www.bobafamily.com/live-chat/

Hi Nathan,Sorry for the confusion here! It seems like this listing got merged with an old Sleepy Wrap listing somehow! The Boba Hoodie is a sweatshirt, not a wrap. It can be worn over a wrap or almost any other soft structured carrier out there. It is not a baby carrier, simply a cover to keep you and your child warm while babywearing. Please let me know if you have any other questions about this product and take care! Kind Regards, Leah Jeffries Boba Customer Service hi@boba.com

Boba specs the front carry for 15-30 lbs. They do not recommend front-facing, because that position forces the baby's legs to hang down and strain her hips and arch her back. I never carried my daughter front facing because she hated it...maybe that is why. Anyway, I'd say the design of the carrier follows Boba's thinking on the matter.

No. I recently called the Boba company since I love this carrier with my 2 year old, but wanted to give it as a baby shower gift. This isn't recommended for a new born. I would recommend the Boba wrap for those first weeks and months. It is extremely comfortable and the baby's weight melts into your body. Then buy the Boba Air as the next step. I love the Boba Air (and the wrap while it could carry the babies weight) and looking back those would be the only two carriers I would buy instead of wasting my money on others. I hope this helps!

I bought the plus model because my Dad was about 250 lbs. He has had it for over 2 years now and uses it quite often.

I have a Super Glide and it is PLENTY big. I would say it will fit a fat boy just fine

XXSmall will be too small, I tried it on my peekapoos who are roughly the same size as your chihauhua. The XSmall fit them both perfectly and I was able to adjust the straps to accommodate my one guy who has a thinner body than the other one.

I have a skinny frame but in older so I have a lifting job to do and I buy small because it gives me better lift. An FYI if you have a walmart or target close to you they carry the genie - try it on there BUT I wear the ones that fit mid hip they are fabulous!! Good Luck Love

i don't think it is, my partner is a big guy he said it was fine. i know what you mean though. i would suggest ordering it and if you don't like it just send it back. i think you will like it!

Ergo has a very small waist band compared to other similar carriers. The waist extends to 43 inches (51 with the extender that you can purchase). The Beco Butterfly Beco Gemini and Boba 3G both extend to 57 inches. The Pikkolo extends to 54. The Pattapum to 55. The Action Baby Carrier to 53. The Anglepack to 50. The Babyhawk Oh Snap to 66. The Olives and Applesauce to 60. Check out thebabywearer.com for tons of helpful information on babywearing and different carriers (there are tons of great carriers out there, way more than what you see in stores or even on Amazon).

Depends how long you're going to hike...It's pretty breathe able but the straps aren't padded, also since baby is right next to your body it'll be hotter than a frame carrier. So they aren't as comfortable as other carriers for long times, because of no padding. That being said I have worn my 20lb 12 month old for some extended periods, usually on my front if she nurses and falls asleep. I really like my boba air, it comes in handy in lots of random situations.For long hikes we usually mostly use a frame backpack and stuff the boba air in a pocket if the backpack in case she gets fussy or wants to nurse.

Yes in my opinion this will fit you. I live in northern Wisconsin and Buffs are a staple in my wardrobe from November till April.

Yes, I believe it is the plus. If you go on the PeaPod website the kiwi color is only available in the plus model. My daughter is 12m and we are still able to use it when we are away from home. I just zip it up so I know she can't crawl out of it. As long as you have it on the floor in a safe place there isn't much to worry about safety wise. I love ours!

I'd would think not. I was a 14/16 when I got them and it was a tight fit and I've pretty evenly distributed so I don't carry it all in my hips and thighs. You might try Zaggoras they're a lot more expensive but they have a size that should fit you and maybe you could wear them until you get down to the Bally size. There might be other brands too but they're what got me thinking about finding a cheaper version. I'd just get one of a more expensive version and wash it after every use.
