using a Boba carrier

I bought a Boba carrier at a garage sale. I tried it on there and thought it was easy and comfortable. But I didn't have a LO with me to put in it. And I've only worn J. in it on my back.

But now I'd like to wear A. (and possibly sometimes J.) on my front. But I just can't. I can't reach the shoulder clip once baby is in the carrier.

I put the waist belt on and clip it. Then I pick A. up and hold her in front. Then I put the left shoulder on and then the right. At that point, per the instructions, I should be able to reach the chest clip by reaching over my shoulders. But unless I become a contortionist it doesn't seem possible.

Any tips? I'd love to figure out how to do this. But if I can't I want to sell the Boba so I can get something that works for us.

    i have a boba and love it.  my straps can move up and down, i make sure those are always in a higher position so i can reach them.  you can also look up videos on youtube to help guide you.

    hope you get it to work comfortably....i love mine

    Have you tried adjusting the straps?  I have no problem fastening it (when seated) with DD in the carrier.
