About this deal

Freerider Slings are made from ultra light, silky soft Tencel and are very thin, making them perfect for hot weather. On the downside, they are a lot more expensive and you can’t put them in a changing bag for easy carrying. On top of that, it's breathable and helps your newborn maintain the perfect temperature while sleeping snuggled close to you.

However, if you are very susceptable to over heating or likely to use in temps over 30 degrees then I'd vote the Aura for being that bit cooler. If 2-way stretch baby wraps like the Izmi, Hana and Coracor are like leggings, the Freerider is more like a pair of jeggings. Nothing can calm a newborn better than lying cuddled up to their parent and feeling the closeness, the heartbeat and the breath.

If you don't need the sling at the moment, you can roll it up and transport it in the integrated bag with carrying loop or stow it in your change bag. The little Boba tab on the edge of the wrap is handy for positioning the fabric when you put it on, too, and I like the little carry bag but it could do with a drawstring and perhaps a carry handle. One negative is that the length of the material meant it would drag on the floor as I was putting it on – not ideal in wet, dirty outdoor situations.

And the nature of the wrap meant it was impossible to readjust it without having to take him out, which you just can’t do in the middle of the street. You can carry your baby for the first day (even if your baby was born preterm) till your child weight 16 kg (or about 18 months). Yes, although you might find it a little fiddly at first, and it might take you a while to get used to which pieces of material to slide your baby behind first. It’s one of the stretchiest wraps on the market, with a high degree of stretch both width- and length-ways. To maintain the longest possible the depth of colour, spot clean using a mild detergent and air-dry.If you’ve used a stretchy wrap before, you’re unlikely to hit any obstacles with the Boba, but you may appreciate its exceptional elasticity – it helps you to create an even more supportive fit once you’ve got it tight enough. But once your baby is 4 – 5 months old, most families will find a more structured baby carrier much more supportive, especially for longer walks. The first is the Newborn Hold, which is suitable up to 10lbs/5kg in weight and keeps your baby’s legs inside the carrier.

super comfy and dreamily soft, these elasticated baby wraps are one-size-fits-all and perfect for both mums and dads. If there’s any time your baby carrier is likely to brave bodily fluids on a daily basis, it’s the newborn phase, so it’s vital that the Boba Wrap washes well. Comfortably wraps babies from 7–35 pounds with no minimum weight requirement (even great for preemies) when used properly.

After that I would worry about the level of support offered for both of us and would feel happier with a more structured carrier that allows your baby to face forward and look at the world.

I think if you were having a summer baby and/or wanted to use this for longer, or were expecting a bigger baby then I would vote Aura. My team and I offer a FREE 15-minute video fit check with every purchase from Wear My Baby, to make sure you’re safe and comfortable. I suffer with a bit of neck, shoulder and back pain, down to years of working at a computer and scoliosis, but using the carrier didn’t aggravate those areas.You then tie the tails around your waist, wherever is most comfortable, which makes this a waistband-free option. This was a revelation for me, especially as a second-time mum, and a definite advantage of this product. Every element of every carrier (down to the very last thread, buckle and lead-free dye) is checked and double-checked to ensure you can enjoy freedom together without worry. Boba is a baby-wearing brand started in 2007 by an American couple who went travelling on a budget with two kids.
