Our Trip To Cameron Highlands With Boba

We were in Cameron Highlands recently. Was just a short trip of 3D2N. Hubby and I needed the break and the kids welcomed the getaway too :-) In fact, Zen was requesting to stay for another 2 nights! Stayed at Strawberry Park Resort and it was lovely. The rooms were huge considering the limited land for development and the service were excellent. And to top it up, the weather was just right, wasn't too wet nor hot.

Oh, just in case you were wondering, Boba is not one of our friends who went with us to Cameron Highlands. Boba is this lovely brand that carries baby wraps and carriers. They have just landed in Malaysia and is worth checking out. You can find them at major baby retail stores around Klang Valley.

Boba was introduced to me by a good friend and I immediately fell in love with the designs. They are super cool and I can still look fashionable while carrying my daughter! I was considering between the baby wraps and the carrier but since there's a high chance that Zen too wanted to be carried (he's almost 5 years old and weighs about 17 kg), I thought the carrier would be more suitable. :-) For those who have infants or toddlers, you may want to consider the baby wraps for it 's made of cotton and spandex, making the child snug comfortably close to you and at the same time, you will feel that its weight is distributed evenly.

A few years ago, after suffering from some major back pain as a result from carrying Zen (too much?) when he was a baby, I made a decision there and then not to carry him too much, or anything heavy for too long, for that matter. I was then advised to get a baby carrier as they are able to distribute baby's weight while being carried. And so I started looking for some baby carriers. My friend loan me one to try it out. It was those backpack type and Zen didn't quite like it. In the end, my MIL made (yes, she sew it herself) me those sarong sling. While it did serve its purpose, it was solely for in-house only, if you know what I mean. :D

When I had Kay, she too was like her brother, wanting me to carry her around. And things get bad when the kids were sick. Both wanted to be carried! I was so afraid that my poor arms might end up requiring physical therapy just from all those carrying. So you see how desperately I was. And when I got this Boba carrier, it made carrying the kids so much easier and fun too. It's very light and can be adjusted to fit your body. And the outer materials were very comfortable not only to the child but also to the wearer.

And when we were at Cameron Highlands, walking around town was made easy. You see, Kay has a tendency to demand to be carried if we were just walking from point A to point B. Once we reached our destination, she'll want to come down and walk / run around. With the carrier, getting her in and out of it was hassle-less. I used to be afraid of going on trips because I know I will have to carry her so much but now, I look forward to the trips. And it's machine washable too. Ahhh, maintainence-free. Lovely.

Adjusting the foot straps...

Yes, there are foot straps so that you child's legs won't be left dangling uncomfortably

The chest strap for added security.

Having the carrier to fit both hubby and I was easily done.

All it took was just a few adjustments of the straps.
