Had this carrier for just about a year now (maybe more or less, can't remember which month I ordered it last year). It has served me, and allowed me plenty of freedom to get things done with my son. It also saved my during summer here in California as it is much more cool than the other carrier I have. However, after approx. 1 year old use, these are my major qualms with this carrier.

1. The straps and chest/back clip in front carry position— the straps have an odd shape that, for me, makes it always feel like they are going to fall off even with the back clip clipped. And speaking of the back clip, it is nearly impossible to fasten on my own. None of these things are an issue when using it in the back carry position.

2. Toddler Extensions — now that my son is bigger, I've had to start using these extensions. These extensions have a major design flaw where the zip zips up rather than down, which causes the extensions to slowly unzip as I am carrying my son. This is by far the most annoying thing about this. It alone is a while minus 1 star.

3. Webbing and adjusters — these things are so difficult to adjust when carrying. While this may be a plus as far as the adjusters not budging as you carry, it is pretty irritating having to take it on and off just to tighten/loosen a strap when switching between children (1 month old and 16 month old) or between my husband and myself.

I feel fortunate that I was able to buy this majorly discounted during one of the sales last year. I don't particularly think this is worth it's full price.

I am thrilled with this carrier! I have a buckle carrier from another brand that only works with an infant insert when baby is under 4 months old, so on a whim I decided to try the Boba X when I saw a recommendation on a forum. The carrier adjusted perfectly to fit my 8 week old - he likes being able to see the trees on our walks and then I put up the hood when he falls asleep. It's easy to put on, and has a loop for your purse-strap. I watched all the videos here to get it set up and fitted correctly, and now it's truly a click-and-go carrier.
