Boba Buddy Toddler Side Sling

Pros

  • The buckle setup is quick for toddlers who repeatedly want to walk and be carried.
  • It folds into a matching bag and avoids the bulk of a full structured carrier on short outings.

Cons

  • One-shoulder loading is less suitable for prolonged carries, and this is not a newborn carrier.

Boba Buddy suits a walking toddler who repeatedly asks to come up, then wants down again: the buckle makes those transitions quicker than rebuilding a wrap tie. Its stated range is 9-48 months and 8-20 kg, so this is not a newborn sling; the child needs stable trunk control. An adjustable padded shoulder, padded leg openings, and double-layer cotton make a short side carry more controlled than carrying on one arm, while the integrated bag keeps it compact between uses. The unavoidable tradeoff is asymmetry: the full load remains on one shoulder. Choose it for errands and short stretches, not long hands-free walks. Before buying, check the child’s weight and stability and make sure the shoulder adjustment fits the intended wearer.
