Our review: 

When the bubba wrap turned up, I thought, my god what’s this? It was a bright red piece of material with long bits hanging off it. However, after reading the clear instructions, I was able to put it on with ease and my 3 month old was perfectly secure within.

I was able to perfect putting it on fairly quickly and, during the month I had it on review, I was able to get it down to less than a minute. Unlike other baby carriers I have tried, there were no clips or straps that had to be fastened, just two simple knots and you’re done.

I used it extensively, and found that its small size when folded, and in it’s bag, made it perfect for keeping in the glovebox of the car. This was great for when popping out and not wanting to unpack the pram or when you unexpectedly need to go somewhere with your baby and don’t have the pram with you.

It does look a bit “earth mother” like but, if you’re conscious about that, I found that you were able to put it on with an open jacket over the top and this made it a lot less conspicuous. The colour of the sample probably didn’t help as it was bright red, however you can get it in black, which, let’s face it, is what most guys are going to go for.

I also trialled the Bubba Wrap on a full day at the zoo, where I was able to carry my boy around with ease. It was amazingly comfortable, and I did not suffer from any backache the day after, in the way I would have if I was just carrying him in my arms.

All in all, a great product!  I think that it’s biggest selling point for me is its small size and portability. Keep it in a changing bag, car, or anywhere that you can easily get to it if it’s needed.
