I have a Boba 3G and we have used it from birth with no issues. I have a Moby from dd and I haven't even gotten it out this time around. I much prefer my Boba.

Honestly, I don't love the Boba for a newborn - I don't think their infant adjustments work as well as some other buckles. But doable...yes. I would try it on if you can first - not all buckles fit all folks comfortably. I also don't like that the Boba straps don't cross in a front carry - but that's more a personal preference thing

Oh and the older versions of the Boba are not designed for newborn use - just to keep in mind if you buy used or find one on clearance.

This. My Boba starts at 15 lbs. And I tried LO in it just as she got to 15 lbs. No matter how I adjusted it I couldn't get it on by myself. (I was unable to snap the chest strap closed behind my back.) I thought about selling it.

Thankfully, I never got around to it. And I tried again when LO was between 18 and 19 lbs. And now I love it! I used it practically daily. I now have no trouble with the clip. And it doesn't hurt my back.

If you are petite, be sure to try on the Boba. The waist was too big for me and I couldn't even use it.
