I have not used those other packs, but I can say I love the Onya. I wear my 3.5 year old daughter at Disney Land in this one and it is great. I am able to fit snacks in the zipper compartments, travel size sun screen, chap stick, and hand sanitizer. I have hiked with it as well and it was lovely.

I have an onya outback. Its great for walking /hiking. Cant compare directly with boba as i dont have one. The onya is a little more scratchy compared to my other fabric ssc, but that is due the the lining with thosse small breathable holes. I am 5'3" and i do find the shoulder straps quite long. Otherwise very comfortable and am still carrying my almost 13 kg 23 month old in it. Its not quite knee to knee for him anymore though but am looking for some leg stirrups for longer walks.

I've not tried the Boba or the Mei Tei. I did a lot of research when I bought this carrier. I wanted something that was easy to use and would fit my growing toddler. I tried out one of the Ergo's and I did not like it as much as the Onya. My daughter and I both love this carrier. I find it very comfortable my straps seem padded pretty well, so I'm not sure why others are talking about on the straps. I like the material because it's meant for getting wet and sweating more so than other fabric carriers I've seen. We recently used this while at a festival and it worked out really well.

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.

I put my 35-38 pound 4 year old in it on my back, and it was great!! You can wear it three ways so you can use it whichever way you and your son like best!! He will not outgrow it for a long time! Awesome carrier!

I have the old school plastic gogo babyz and this gogo babyz mini. The mini is so much better. The plastic one broke in the middle of the airport. The metal one is so much sturdier. I own a bunch of different car seats. I have yet to find one the mini cant handle. My Clek Foonf is one of the heaviest car seats on the market and the mini carries it just fine. I also had great luck with my Diono Radian and Rainer both weigh about 25 lbs. If you go on the Gogo Babyz web page they will tell you if your car seat is comparable. Good luck

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.

my son is almost 18m and tall. i've done both front and hip carries with it. it is very comfy. we've only been using it for a bit over a month, and i love this thing. i prefer it to the ergo where comfort is concerned, and it won't dig into your neck on hip carries like the ergo straps do. someone else responded that their daughter outgrew the carrier at 7m, which is nuts. unless it was a type and she meant 27 or 37 months. my son still has plenty of room to grow in it.

i have a boy and a girl and i own the countours tandem stroller and i love it i never go anywhere with out it... ohh and have i said my boy was 11 1/2 months old when my baby girl was born??? he didnt walk or anything ..... i use my stroller still and baby big girl just turned 2 the last week of july and baby big boy turned 3 the second week of august...they are 351 days apart.... so we live in texas and we have several outdoor things here yearround so i love that the wheels just go on all types of ground or pebbles and rocks , concreate, dirt, mud, grass... and i have a 1st cousin who lived in colorado and she has the same exact stroller , she loves hers too..... now it is a little bigger than some but not to much for me ..im 5'7" tall and usually around 165lbs.... im not a small woman or a large woman im not pettite in any way and i do have 3 feet of legs so that may make a difference but i drive a ford fusion and it goes in and out easily. now the only place i have ever run into something or someone is at the peds. office but i have seen women do it with the umberella strollers .... so .... the biggest problem i have heard about from moms of multipuls is about side by side strollers they dont fit through doorways or mall isles or any isles actually...... hope this is helpful , feel free to email me at kednb@aol.com if you have any questions about this stroller including if you want actual pics.....

Good evening I would like to start by saying we sell hundreds of Madella pumps a year and to be honest with you they are basically all the exact same motor. The only difference usually is the style of the bag. Typically the insurance companies will give you the not a stylish brown lunchbox style tote or the one listed above with the cooler. The ones the people are typically purchasing now are the metro bag which is more stylish and looks like a large diaper bag and serve the dual purpose of diaper bag as well as pump but does not look like a pokey hospital style pump What's also convenient about the metro bag is that the pump is in its own little lunch bag style size told that is removable and you can use it for portable pumping in your home your vehicle or wherever you choose to pump without having to carry large awkward tote looks like a big beach cooler. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us if you're looking for a stylish pump we have many in stock somewhere listed and some are not yet listed. Thank you very much the baby Depot

I wouldn't recommend moving her up to the Britax Parkway SGL just yet. My son was 4.5 and in the 85th percentile for height and barely 40 pounds when I moved him up to the Parkway SGL. After a while some kids find the Marathon uncomfortable, but at 2.5 I would suggest perhaps trying the Britax Frontier, which has a bit more room in the 5-point harness than the Britax, so thte straps might be a bit more tolerable for your little one. And once she is ready for a booster, the Frontier will easily convert.

Go with Ergo or Boba. It will be more comfortable for both baby and wearer. Those two are very adjustable and also have extenders for bigger wearers.

I would say no to two of anything older then 10 week old puppies. I bought my 1st of this carrier at a TJ Maxx. And then came to Amazon for another 5, that is how much I like the style. My Maltipoo flies commercially with me about 1x a month. The carrier fits under a seat, but the top does get smooshed down. My Maltipoo is almost 10 lbs is 16" inches from the base of his head to his tail. He is 10" tall from ground to top of shoulder blades, around his chest he measures 13" inches. He can stand and turn around and loves it. But in all honestly my Maltipoo loves being in purses and carriers. My other fosters, just slightly larger by say 3lbs and 2" length or height are not so pleased with the carrier. Also I caution the opening is small. My guy likes crates and such so he sneaks right in. For the other doggies I have to unzip the sides and drop them in that way. Hope this helps

My toddler (almost 2) fits great. She loves how high she sits. My sis in law has the Bob. I feel the Bob is bigger and bulkier than the graco. The Bob in my opinion has a little more storage. The graco comes up pretty high. I'm 5'3 and it comes up to my chest. I also love the fact that the gracos back wheels click right off for smaller storage. Don't know if the Bob does that. I will say that the Bob has more room for your child. My sis puts her infant in the seat and her toddler who is 3 has enough room to sit on the little foot rest area.

Boba washes very well, but it is best to spot clean it. The foot straps make it more comfortable for older babies. Helps prevent the pins and needles feeling in their legs. Very often you see parents holding their child's feet anyway... this way you don't have to. I found this link helpful when I was deciding: http://www.theportablebaby.com/carrierfeatures.htmlI also like that the Boba wraps up on your waist (like a fanny pack). Not too cute, but practical.You have great support too.Good luck!

Thank you for your reply ... I have actually had this stroller for 11 months and I've been putting the Graco Snugride in the back the whole time. It is completely safe and snug. The weight of the carrier falls well beween the two sets of wheels and is extremely sturdy. I appreciate your warning of "looking like such and incompetant" ... but I would never, ever put my children in danger, even if I don't follow every rule to the letter.

Are they tall? Do they really like each other? Do they willingly go into bags? My dog hated the fact that there was no top access. Although, she is not so used to carriers. I replaced mine with a regular large Sherpa - which is what I should have bought in the first place. Even though she's a little tall for it, she doesn't mind it at all.

I carry my son in mine pretty often, but not for long amounts of time. Probably no more than 20 minutes. He is 30lbs, so not quite as big as your child. I think the Boba distributes the weight really well. I don't feel any pain when I carry him. It feels more like a weight pulling me back, like a turtle with a shell, but not to the point where it is painful. Idk where you are from, but there are baby wearing groups near me that hold meetings so that you can try out different carriers. I found a group on Facebook. That may be a way to try before you buy.

I find that its very similar to our Ergo as far as type of carrier. Also depending on how old your baby is it may be very big. Its a toddler sized carrier. I got ours when my son began to out grow the Ergo around 18mo. He's 2 yes and 32lbs now and I can carry him all day in it if needed. All that being said I do love our Moby Go but if your baby doesn't like the Ergo they probably won't like this either. I will also say though that sometimes being in a carrier (of any type) takes an adjustment period for baby. I would keep trying with what you have (for short times and when baby is happiest) or possibly try a ring sling. Hope this helps. I find that its very similar to our Ergo as far as type of carrier.
