Infantino Flip Advanced Carrier face Reviews Summary

Comfort and Support

Pros:

• "The padded shoulder straps and waistband make it easy to wear for extended periods without feeling fatigued."
• "It's sooo comfortable on my back I hardly notice any added weight."
• "This carrier is supportive and easy. A bit bulky, but what else is expected, honestly."
• "I finally have a life again with this baby holder."
• "This is the perfect carrier for newborns and toddlers, it’s designed for growing babies!"
• "Feels secure once you have it on."
• "This carrier worked fine for my newborn, but once my infant was around 15 pounds we had a major circulation loss in her legs."
• "Very comfortable to wear. Even when baby is facing forward it does not hurt my back as much as many other carriers I have tried."

Cons:

• "If I could give this a negative review I would. I put my baby in the carrier he is in the weight and age requirement, and his legs turned purple… he wasn’t in the carrier longer then 10 mins and he lost all blood flow to them."
• "I tried this out on my 2 month old and she did not like it at all. Hoping she will like it once she gets older, however I will caution, the way her legs dangle with this, I won’t leave her in this carried for long because it seems to cut off circulation unless you help support her feet."
• "Do NOT purchase this carrier. My 8 month old started choking shortly after being placed in it. All the instructions were followed."
• "Not the most comfortable mangaroo pouch, could use a little more padding for the parent as the straps do tend to get uncomfortable after a while."
• "I bought this carrier despite seeing bad reviews because they were mostly good. Wore my baby around an event, forward facing, he was fine the whole time. Later on that day I noticed marks on his legs and I remembered the negative reviews!"
• "My baby who is about 8lbs and 21 inches loves it. Falls asleep within 5 mins and it disturb weights on my back evenly. I'm 5'1 and 190lbs (I have big boobs) and I still have more space to loosen it and the material on the inside is soft. The direction were straight forward."
• "very comfortable to wear. Even when baby is facing forward it does not hurt my back as much as many other carriers I have tried."
• "I really like the waist support on this. From when my son was born, he has enjoyed being in it. My back doesn’t hurt nearly as bad as when I used the baby Bjorn. For the great price, this works great. My son can go forward now and he loves looking around."

Versatility and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "It's a versatile carrier that offers four different carrying positions, including facing in, facing out, back carry, and hip carry."
• "This carrier is exactly what I was looking for. Simple, yet adjustable. I can get it on and off baby in and out by myself with little hassle."
• "I have tried 4 different styles of wraps, nothing felt comfortable until this! I am a small framed, 140lb, 5’3” woman and this fits me perfectly and gives the right support on my shoulders/ neck."
• "I’m no stranger to baby carriers but I’ve yet to use one that allows different carry positions and this is a life saver."
• "I love how versatile this carrier is. You can forward face etc which is a great bonus."
• "So far our son is only 10.5 weeks old but we used this in the narrow seating position for a flight we took at 7 weeks and it was amazing to wear him through the airport with."
• "This carrier is so easy to use, the soft fabric is very comfortable for my son and it makes running errands easy instead of dragging out the stroller. I love that it's versatile and I can carry him facing forward or facing me."
• "Love this carrier. I travel a lot with my 1 year old daughter... I use this every time we fly. Makes my life so much easier. She can sit in front or back, face forward or towards me."

Cons:

• "The rainbow pattern is cute, and overall I feel like baby is secure when in. The carrier comes with very clear instructions on how to safely wear baby. However, it is very difficult to adjust and basically impossible to adjust while on without someone else’s help."
• "So the carrier feels secure once it’s on, but it’s extremely frustrating for me to get on in the first place. There are lots of clips, they’re hard to manage especially one-handed, and I just can’t handle it without getting extremely frustrated."
• "I bought this to put my granddaughter in when she is with me and my husband but I definitely struggle to use as it is not easy to put on and put her in securely."
• "I often use carriers by myself when going to the store etc and this one buckles up by your upper back and it’s nearly impossible to strap on if you’re by yourself."
• "Okay so this carrier is beautiful and thick and nice, however... it is just not long enough and ideal to wear the way the picture represents even on the instruction manual."
• "I decided to try the “used like new” one, and it’s definitely not. I thought it would be worth having a second one at work rather than toting the one I have back and forth. Well, the spit up piece is missing and this one is more worn than the one I’ve been using for 3 months!"
• "I had this carrier for both of my children and bought this one for a baby I’m baby sitting. The fabric is soft and the carrier grows with baby as you can wear the baby front facing, rear facing and on your back."
• "We took this on our trip to Vegas for walking the strip and both baby and daddy were happy!! It was a win win because mom (me) didn’t have to carry baby all day long, and the carrier is super easy to use and supportive of baby. Very happy with this purchase!"
