Infantino Flip 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, Black & Gray Leopard

Cheaper here on Amazon vs. on Walmart! Worth the price, if you’re on a budget!
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.

My Son’s Favorite Carrier
My other carriers are wraps and slings, but my child likes this one the most because he has the freedom to move his arms and look around while still being secure.I primarily use the standard carry mode as I don’t like the forward facing for him (and when I do use it, I manually hold his legs up in the “M” position) and I did not find the backpack mode ergonomic for me.I love the sunshine and rainbows pattern and the fact that this is so affordable! Have one for myself and one for my husband!

My Fave, so cute!!!
I originally was gifted the black one from my baby shower. At first I was confused on how to put it on and use it. I felt as if there were too many straps. I saw a lot of people on Tik Tok post about the MomCozy ones so I ordered a mesh one. I thought they their “X” shaped back strap would help my back discomfort but it did not. I hated it. I felt as if it was way too bulky. I was expecting something more lightweight. My baby fell right asleep with the Infantino and was crying in the mom cozy one. This one is a lot softer. I decided the black one will be for my husband and I ordered the rainbow one!!!

Easy use
I loved it especially the back wearing position. It’s lightweight and the material is easy to clean and sturdy. Easily adjustable. Unisex color so I can use it for my next baby. It folds up nicely and you can put it in a small/medium sized bag if you need to store it somewhere. I definitely recommend it.

We bought this baby carrier specifically for our Umrah trip with our 7-month-old, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we put it on, we knew it would be a lifesaver.It was incredibly comfortable—for both us and our baby—even during long hours of walking and standing. The support it provided made it easy to move through the crowds and perform our rituals without feeling strained or overwhelmed. Our baby felt secure and often fell asleep snuggled inside, which made things so much easier.The material is breathable (which is a huge plus in the heat), and the design made it easy to put on and take off, even when we were on the go. It gave us the freedom to focus on our prayers and spiritual experience while keeping our baby close and content.If you’re planning to take your little one on Umrah, this carrier is a must. We absolutely loved it and wouldn’t travel without it again.
