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.

Such a comfy and easy to put on carrier. Price is great too! Would definitely purchase again!

Soft, adjustable, and easy to use! Be mindful that the lighter colors get dirty easier, but it’s personally not a problem because they’re machine washable, which is convenient! I’ve washed mine once after my kiddo had a diaper blowout while on it and it worked and looks good as new ✨👌🏼

As a new parent, I've been using the Infantino Flip 4-in-1 baby carrier for a few months now, and overall it's been a solid choice. There are many things I really appreciate about it, but there's one significant area where the design could be improved.

What I Love:

Versatility: The 4-in-1 design is genuinely useful. Being able to switch between facing-in narrow seat, facing-in wide seat, facing-out, and back carry positions means this carrier grows with your baby. It's been great value having one carrier that adapts to different stages.

Comfort When Wearing: Once properly adjusted, the carrier is quite comfortable for both me and my baby. The padded shoulder straps and waist belt distribute weight well, and I can wear it for extended periods without significant discomfort. My baby seems content and secure in it.

Affordable: Compared to some premium carriers on the market, the Infantino Flip offers great value. It has most of the features you need without the premium price tag.

Ergonomic Design: The carrier supports proper hip positioning for the baby, which is important for healthy development. The seat adjusts to ensure baby's legs are in the correct "M" position.

Machine Washable: This is a huge plus with a baby. Being able to throw it in the washing machine when it gets dirty is very convenient.

The Issue - Complicated to Put On and Take Off:

Here's where this carrier loses a star for me. The process of putting it on and taking it off is significantly more complicated than it should be. There are multiple straps, buckles, and adjustment points that need to be managed, and the order matters.

When you're dealing with a squirmy baby who doesn't want to wait, fumbling with all these straps becomes frustrating. It's especially challenging when you're trying to do it solo. I often need to lay everything out and pre-adjust straps before even attempting to get my baby in, which defeats the purpose of having a quick babywearing solution.

The instructions help initially, but even after months of use, it still takes more time and effort than I'd like. Some competing carriers have simpler, more intuitive buckle systems that would make this process much easier.

I wish Infantino had designed a more streamlined fastening system - maybe with color-coded buckles, fewer adjustment points, or a quicker-release mechanism. This would make the carrier much more user-friendly, especially for parents who are using it alone.

Bottom Line:

Despite the complexity of getting it on and off, this is still a good carrier that does its job well once you're wearing it. If you're patient and willing to practice, you'll eventually get faster at it. But if ease of use is your top priority, you might want to consider other options with simpler designs. I'd give it 4 stars - it would easily be 5 if they could simplify the strapping system.

I purchased this as a gift and it was a hit. Mom and baby love it and use it often. The fun pattern options are great, as well as the price point and overall quality.

Love this product.

Love this product. Easy to use. Best for new borns

Baby loves to be held so this has ben great. I can do whatever I need to do and baby can watch what is going on while being held. Both my babies didnt like to face me in it so I waited till they were 4 months old to face them outwards and they both loved it from then on.

Honestly, this is a great. This is my 7th baby…I’ve had every carrier imaginable including ergo and Lillie. This time around I needed something quickly and inexpensive hoping she would nap better if being held. she hasn’t loved any of the carriers(hence getting rid of them) This is comfortable for baby and mom. The quality is decent and I appreciate the high end color look with the beige. My 20 month old is very comfortable as shown in photo.

We have been so happy with our Infantino Flip 4-in-1It is lightweight, very easy to use, and our baby loves being in it. Transitioning it to the back-carry position feels secure and comfortable. You really don't need to spend a fortune on a high-end carrier when this one works perfectly! Highly recommend.

Ich schreibe normalerweise nie Bewertungen, aber hier kann ich einfach nicht anders. Dieser Rucksack ist einfach perfekt! ❤️

Ich habe in einem Monat wirklich keinen einzigen Minuspunkt an diesem Rucksack gefunden. Er ist unsere Rettung! 🙏🏻 Das Material ist mega angenehm und hochwertig. Mein Baby schläft darin auf Mamas Brust sofort ein. 🥹❤️

Der einzige Minuspunkt ist, dass ich ihn nicht schon bei meinem ersten Kind gekauft habe. 😂

Ottimo marsupio lo extraconsiglio, non ha niente da invidiare alle Marche più costose. Facile da indossare, leggero e sopratutto comodo per il bambino.
