Oh, the Infantino Flip Advanced 4-in-1 Carrier is a fantastic choice for busy parents on the go! It’s a versatile carrier that offers four different carrying positions, including facing in, facing out, back carry, and hip carry. This carrier is designed with comfort in mind, featuring adjustable straps and a padded waist belt to distribute the baby’s weight evenly. It’s also made with breathable fabric, which is perfect for keeping both the parent and baby cool and comfortable. Plus, it has a convenient Wonder Cover bib to protect the carrier from drool and spills. It’s definitely a must-have for parents who want to keep their little one close while having their hands free. 🤱😊

Originally gifted a $300 + baby carrier and replaced with this one.

I love this guy. I have 4 carriers (this one, infantino carry all, Lille baby all seasons, and a boba wrap). Maybe I’m just dumb but I could never figure out how to narrow my Lille baby’s seat so baby #2 and 3 were just stuck facing me. But when my 3rd turned 11 months, I REALLY wanted to face her out AND my one carrier was always dirty and I had to go without for 24h till it dried. I needed another but I didn’t want to spend a ton of money. I’ve heard about this carrier and have considered it before. Man, I wish I got this sooner. It’s so EASY TO NARROW AND WIDEN THE SEAT. No need to watch a tutorial to operate this simple plow mule. It’s pretty intuitive but I’d still watch how to videos and read the manual if you’re totally new to carriers. It’s surprisingly comfy and isn’t bulky (I’d say it’s pretty streamlined and minimal). Not as supportive as my $150 LB obviously but I still enjoy wearing it regularly. If I already had this one, I wouldn’t shell out on an expensive one unless you can find a secondhand bargain. This carrier is really all you need
No fancy bells and whistles, just a basic carrier with standard materials but it still feels durable. We’ll see. Even if it only lasted a year with daily use, that’s not bad considering its price. I’m pretty sure it’ll hold out till baby #3 outgrows it.
HOWEVER, with LB there are only TWO 2 buckles, none that come in contact with baby, but with this one there are SIX 6 buckles, 4 of which can pinch baby or wearer when putting on. That’s the only downside to this carrier I’ve had. I pinch myself almost every time when I buckle in the baby panel and it’s a pain in the butt to buckle all those with a squirmy baby. It’s the same thing with my infantino carry all. If you can put up with that slight inconvenice (I would considering it’s a budget carrier) then you’ll find it totally worth it. However unlike the carry all, this one is great for PETITE SLIM ppl, maybe the average young teen could wear it. I have to tighten it pretty good but there seems to be about .5-1in left.. For reference, I’m 5’1 almost 100 pounds. This is a great carrier for the vertically impaired (short height) person I’d think. Overview: this carrier is a great value. I’ve only used it for a few weeks with my third baby who’s almost 12 months so I can’t speak on how it supports floppy newborns, the baby panel can be tightened all the way and it has a head support that can be folded down later on so I think with some blankets as positioners you can make it safely work, but it is great for 3m+ for sure. I got it for $26 and I feel it’s money well spent. If you’re unsure about baby wearing or what kind of carrier to get then START with this one. Keep the packaging, try it out with baby. If it’s not for you then return it and try another one. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a safe efficient baby carrier. This would also serve as a more than adequate cheap backup for a pricier carrier. You might become a convert.

Just got it today, so I’ll add to my review after I’ve really had a chance to use it.
My initial thoughts are well-made, generous padding in the straps, lots of straps to allow you to fit it just right to you and your baby, and the fabric is underwhelming–stuff and plasticky. For the price, I am very impressed.

My goddaughter is three months older. She was born one month early and while she is in perfect health, she’s a petite little thing at nine pounds. Now compare this to my son’s birth weight of almost 11 pounds (16 years ago 🙃)
My partner and I had the privilege of caring for Baby Raine for several days and nights. We knew virtually nothing about her sleep and eating patterns, only that she loves her milk!
We discovered very quickly they Raine like most infants experiences quick bursts of leg, head, and arm activity. Another caveat is that she dislikes being swaddled. Unswaddled infants tend to sleep for shorter periods precisely due to being woken up by said jerky motions!
Which brings me to the carrier…
I never used a carrier with my son so I had zero reference point. I spent a lot of time reading product review after review. I knew I was looking for a carrier that felt light and would accommodate my 5’3 height and generously portion waist/hips as well as my partner’s medium/muscular 5’9 frame.
The carrier arrived a few hours before our goddaughter did which gave me ample time to fuss with the buckles. At first glance I was totally overwhelmed. Thankfully my partner was there to help me put it on and take it off the first few times.
Pros:
1. Super broad and comfy shoulder and waist strap.
2. Love love love the Smokey grey color.
3. Leg holes are roomy, enabling me to slide baby in by myself without having to fuss with making her feet fit through.
4. Super light weight and moves when I move.
5. Once everything’s buckled, I feel certain that baby isn’t going anywhere. My first few hours her in the carrier, I felt borderline paranoid that the straps would magically come undone and that baby would be mortally injured…
How’s that for dramatic 🤦🏽♀️😂
It’s day three and me, baby Raine, and carrier are fast friends. She loves being face in or face out, depending on what tasks I’m engaging in. I wore her during my first ever Zoom workshop. She made ne’er a peep and not a soul noticed lol.
If I want to feed her on the fly, I unbuckle one or both straps. There’s just enough space to accommodate a 4-6oz bottle.
The only con, literally, is that the plastic buckets are extra stiff in the beginning which I totally understand. Obviously the more you insert and release, the more well oiled it becomes. If you have very arthritic fingers, you might need some help in the beginning.
So if you’re on product review 253 and still debating whether you should press “buy”, I say go for it!! Price and quality are unparalleled. Finally, to address customer concerns about baby thighs getting bruised by the leg holes, I took one customer’s advice and placed a folded microfiber towel in the crotch area of the carrier to allow for some distance between baby’s thighs and the carrier. On days two and three it was totally unnecessary. I recommend regularly performing a “comfort check” while baby is in carrier. Check for things like:
1. Are their airways totally clear?
2. Are arms comfortably positioned?
3. Are their legs and bottoms pressed too firmly in fixed position? This can be remedied by taking two fingers and gently readjusting baby’s legs and bottom to promote even circulation.
If you’re still reading, I appreciate you fully for taking into consideration my personal thoughts and experiences. Wish you the best!!!

I have the 2020 version of this same carrier and LOVE it! So I bought another.. this review is for the newer version. the quality of the carrier is great however a few product changes make it differ from the older version I love. the fabric isn’t as soft in this new one along with different leg holes that dont seem as comfortable, not allowing an effortless “M” shape in the hanging legs like the doctors suggest. The leg holes also don’t have a Velcro reinforcement with the buckles just in case you forget to buckle the lower leg holes. Overall, it’s a beautiful, affordable and super easy carrier. Would definitely suggest it to anyone who needs something to use from newborn time. Gives the expensive carriers a run for their money

Una mochila muy practica para las labores del dia a dia, el color crudo fue la mejor eleccion, puedo cargar a mi bebe mientras hago el super, lo compre cuando mi bebe tenia 3 meses pero no fue lo recomendable porque quedaba muy recta su espalda y a esa edad aun no tienen la fuerza sufiente. Asi que lo empezamos a usar por ratos cuando cumplio los 5 meses, para que empezara a acostumbrarse.
Si estas buscando algo para recien nacido este portabebe no es la mejor opcion.
