Boba Air anyone?

[melimo1315]

So it's summer here in MA (well at least for the next few days and I realized after my park trips yesterday and today that the Ergo is not warm weather friendly. By the time I took him out of it both of us were drenched in sweat.

I made a mesh sling but it's super uncomfortable long term and out of water. Plus he's a hefty boy and he just stretches out slings and wraps.

I was looking online and the Boba Air had good reviews and seems reasonably priced. I am hoping to spend under $100 so at $65 it looks good.

Anyone have one or tried one?

I don't have one, but you've made me want one too!

I haven't tried it but I'm also not looking forward to middle of summer with a carrier because DD2 sweats like DH. I have heard of cooling packs they sell that you put in between you and LO...can't remember what they are called. I will search and report back if nobody else replys with the answer...

I'm tempted to get a summer carrier too, not sure if I can convince DH without selling one I already have.

EDIT: FroggTogg was what I heard of but in my search I found this review.

I have the lillebaby air. I love it. I'm not saying we don't sweat but it's Texas and were hot ladies.

I also have the lillebaby airflow. It's pricier than the Boba ($125 v. $60) but if you used a 20% off BuyBuyBaby coupon then it would be $100 and they are doing free shipping over $99.
I like it because the hood is really roomy, the pocket is big and there is a lumbar support pad on my back.
It is still hot but less hot than my Tula.

I also have the lillebebe and love it. Worth the investment IMO!
