InfantinoFlip Advanced 4-in-1 Baby Carrier - Ergonomic, Convertible, Face-in and Face-Out Front and Back Baby Carrier for Newborn to Toddler 8-32 lbs, Gray

I purchased this on a budget as I am a new Mom again to a newborn baby girl (7wks+ as of today 8/26/24) & when I originally purchased this item, my daughter was just slightly under the recommended minimum weight requirement of 8lbs (She was exactly 7lbs at the time of receiving this item). So if you're wondering if it's too large for your infant, (though it does state 8lbs & you should ALWAYS FOLLOW the manufacturers recommended weight requirements, ESPECIALLY for a newborn), I personally think you'll be fine given that in 1-2wks your newborn will be at the minimum weight limit & that's the beauty of purchasing an item that may be too large, baby will grow into it. I do suggest only having your newborn facing you in the carrier until they either reach the minimum 8lbs, or are able to support their head/neck (every baby is different, so do what works for you baby).The reason I bought this is so that it'd be easier for me to take care of my at home tasks/chores, give baby a chance at a new way to soothe/help sleep, be able to still breast/bottle feed while multitasking, & make it easier to travel in public.This is my 2nd child (with my 1st child be 11½yrs of age, so it's like being a 1st time Mommy again given the 11yr age gap) & I just don't have the energy or effort to haul around a carseat, especially in this God awful Houston, TX Summer Heat/Humidity.By having this carrier, I'm able to grab my daughter out of her carseat, place her into the carrier with minimal to zero effor & just GO!By now having this carrier, there's no need for me to remove my carseat & place it into her stroller, or carry around a carseat, while out & about. WORK SMART, Mommies & Daddies, NOT HARD!Grocery shopping, Dr. Appointments, Dining out, cleaning the house, & simply having the ability to soothe my newborn & do skin-2-skin or even breastfeed/bottle feed, have all become SOOOO MUCH EASIER & makes my life that much more efficient. The only thing I haven't done yet is place the carrier on my back, simply because my daughter is a newborn & it'll likely be a while before I put her on my back, so I can't provide an honest review of using this carrier on my back just yet. I can however provide an update to this review, when she is large/old enough to go on my back. As far as placing her forward towards/away from me, both have been comfortable for baby & me. My Baby is now approaching 10lbs & I have placed her in the carrier forward facing because she's able to support her head much easier & my little princess is so curious & enjoys looking around at the world. When she's restless I have her facing me & within 5-10mins tops, she's sound asleep.The only beef I have with this carrier (well 2) is that...1). The Label/Tag located inside the arm straps is itchy asf & drives me mental, & it can't be removed unless I want to cut out the individual stitching, which seems tedious. So by wearing a shirt that's not a V-Cut/Low cut, or Tank top it helps keep the skin-2-tag contact at a minimum.2). It's best to preset the arm support straps, so that you can easily put in on, otherwise it seems as though this carrier's straps have a tendency to always get tangled up & get twisted. The strap in the back, I never detach, to kind of help prevent the carrier from getting tangled/twisted. Otherwise, it's quite frustrating trying to assemble, prior to placing baby into the carrier.Aside from those 2 cons, everything else is great. Baby loves being in the carrier, it fits both me & Baby well, it makes life/traveling/activities/chores/etc so much more convenient & it's definitely worth the price, if you're on a budget.You know how the saying goes, "You pay for what you get..."? Well given I only paid $35⁰⁰~ vs. $58⁰⁰~ AT WALMART FOR THE EXACT SAME CARRIER/WT REQUIREMENTS, exactly to a T, definitely just order this here on Amazon & not Wal-Mart. Or if you're at Walmart because you need it asap vs. waiting for shipping/delivery via Amazon, I would consider asking a Wal-Mart Associate to honor the price match because it's a waste of money otherwise.All in all I give this carrier a 9/10.

This baby carrier has been one of the best purchases for my little one. It’s very easy to put on and adjust, and it feels secure at all times. My baby is comfortable and happy, and I don’t end up with back pain even after using it for several hours. The materials are sturdy and breathable—perfect for long outings. It also has very handy pockets for carrying essentials. I totally recommend it to moms and dads looking for comfort and functionality!

I’ve tried multiple carriers. I do like this one, I just think carriers aren’t for me but will use occasionally for short periods of time. (I run hot and with baby it’s even hotter) I love the color and I think so does baby. It’s easy to put on. But just putting out there legs can be hard to get out but I feel like that’s the main struggle with all carriers. I do recommend getting a brighter color l, mainly for the fact of being able to see straps and clips when it’s dark. Don’t wanna be fumbling around with crying baby lol.

This carrier is super adorable and affordable. In my opinion it has too many straps and buckles to do so I have a different carrier that I use more often but I keep this as a backup in my car. Baby was super comfortable in it. It’s great for me but not as great for my husband, size wise.

Easy to put on and it can open all the way up so you can put your baby in the carrier before you put it on yourself. Works well if you’re home by yourself. Only grievance is that the clips are hard to unsnap. Takes lingering than it should to come off. Other than that it’s great.

This carrier is comfortable for mom and baby. Very easy to set up. You can wear your baby facing forward or towards you and even on your back! It’s adjustable, great size for all babies. The padding is comfortable. Great weight distribution you’re able to even it out on both sides . I love how when facing forward you can button down the front for baby. There’s also a button option for the front I believe you can use during the newborn stage and there’s the these little tabs that you can put through these two holes on each side to create that M shape for your baby. It honestly took me a while to figure out at first bc I didn’t see it in the instructions. Overall I would recommend this carrier . It’s comfortable, convertible, AFFORDABLE and cute!
