Customer reviews for Infantino Flip 4-in-1 Convertible Baby Carrier forGood price but not the best to recommend
I purchased this product because the baby likes to look forward, but the siting position for looking forward does not have much siting material so it looks uncomfortable and probably is because baby gets tired fast and so do I, my back hurts after 30 minutes of holding her in that position, there's got to be something better, but the price was right.
I Definitely Recommend
I absolutely love this carrier, and not just for the price! I picked this carrier up on a whim with my first son, who is now two. It lasted with him and is still in excellent condition for my three month old. I did lose the bib almost immediately after unboxing, but no big deal! It is easy to put on and adjust once the baby is inside. One buckle at parents back between shoulders. Two buckles at the hip, and two at the armpit area. Pull straps on each of the four corners to adjust tightness. Two ways to wear the front for growing baby's legs as well as a top button snap for folding down the top front for growing baby. I've never used it for my back, just personal preference. In all, this is an excellent carrier, built to last! I have already recommended it to others.
I love it!
I love it. I had bought the baby wrap at first and it just wasn’t enough support for babies back and head so I decided to try this one and I love it. Baby is only 1 month old and prolly 8-10 lbs (she was only 6 pounds at birth) and she fits perfect with everything at tight as it can go, she likes her hands to be tucked in and on me. The only thing I don’t like is the directions. There is no word directions only pictures and it has so many different ways you can wear it and so many buttons and other stuff so I’m still trying to figure that out but as far as being able to do more stuff in it then I could with the wrap it is definitely an A . She has to be held basically 24/7 so I’m so glad I went with this and it’s cheap so I’m very happy with it!
I love this carrier
I love this carrier. For the price, it's absolutely a great carrier. My baby loves it and I love how simple it is. I don't have to worry about a ton of adjustments and my baby always falls alseep in it, seems really comfortable. I tried two other big name ones that cost 3-4 times the price of the Infantino one and this one beat them all for comfort and ease of use. The only gripe I have is that it needs pockets! I would give it 5 stars if it had pockets or teethers attached, maybe a zipper pocket or water bottle holder somewhere.
This product is difficult to use
I tried to download your instructions, and if you have that many hieroglyphics then you should realize that it is not user friendly. This product is fine for the initial set up on rear facing kids. However, if you want to use the conversion there should be a course in reading their downloadable instructions. The video runs through things so fast, you need to be a gamer to follow it. It's clear that the seller is excited, but if there's that many moving parts, then customers need more explanation.

Awesome carrier!
I have received the Flip Advanced from Infantino to facilitate my review. When I received this in the mail, I almost didn't consider trying it because I already had two good carriers, and because my five-month-old really didn't like being worn that much anyway. I convinced myself to just wash it, try it on, then maybe give it to a friend to review. I dragged the whole process out for a couple of days, then finally just plopped the baby in it. I didn't have any trouble getting it on. I didn't read the directions, but I had to stop and use my head for a minute the first time. Once I got the baby in, I was surprised how comfortable it was. I thought it seemed like sort of cheap material but the way it sits doesn't seem cheap at all. The first thing I noticed is that the baby didn't cry, which is what she usually does when I put her in a carrier. Then, after about five minutes, she fell asleep! Out cold. She's tall enough that her head wasn't held in by the back of the carrier, but the angle is just right so that her head didn't tip away from me and dangle into mid air. I carried her around for maybe an hour while she slept. This was three weeks ago (or more?) And she has napped in it every day since. I always use this carrier now, and I am so grateful to have it. She pretty much never complains when she's in it. I like that it is padded, yet has a lot of open spaces on the sides so that she can get air. My baby tends to be hot and now that spring is here the thickness of a carrier is really a concern. I also like the buckles. You can unbuckle the top, the middle, or the base all with one hand. The inner straps help keep the baby from falling out yet there is an opening so we can have skin-on-skin contact. It's easy to adjust. The width at the base (where she sits) isn't uncomfortably wide like certain other popular carriers, but is wide enough to support her weight across her whole bottom. I don't know how long she'll be able to ride in it. It seems like the perfect carrier for young babies. My other two carriers are deeper, it seems, and I fear she will grow too tall for it before long. She is six months old now, about seventeen pounds. I wish it had a piece of fabric attached so that when she's asleep I can put it over her head. But really she knocks out in it pretty well and only seems to waken when I pull her out. Today she slept in it while I grocery shopped. The light wasn't an issue. I didn't realize how inexpensive this carrier was until I logged on to write this review. I would not only recommend this carrier to a friend, I would buy it as a gift for a new mom. My friends will be receiving these. I can't recommend it enough. Any tool that can help when you have a small baby is a really big deal. This has already helped me immensely.
Mostly comfy
I am a plus size mom and decided to try this out to see if it would fit and be comfy. Overall it is comfy, the waist belt expands big enough to not be too tight, I wear a 3X. I knocked off a star bc the buckles on the shoulder straps that create the leg holes kind of dig into my arms some, but I could lower the baby and it be a little more comfy. So far I have only worn it around the house a few times with a 15 lb baby facing out but wore it for at least an hour at a time. I would wear it out & about but I don't think I would want to wear it has an all day thing, maybe a couple hours max. Overall it works great just wish the shoulder straps/buckles didn't dig into my arms.
Great Carrier!
I have tried several carriers and wraps, and this one is by far the most comfortable. I had back surgery several years ago, so I wanted to find a carrier that was comfortable and provided support for my back. The belt that goes around the waist is a huge plus for me! The clip that fastens between the shoulders helps to make sure I don't round my shoulders while carrying baby (which would cause me pain later). This carrier is easy to get on, and baby in by myself. It is much lighter than other carriers. The others I tried had a lot more straps and fabric that made wearing it a lot hotter and caused baby to sweat much more (which made her very unhappy!). My daughter didn't like the carrier (any carrier) at first, but after a couple times she started to love it. I put her in, dance/bounce to some music and she is asleep within 15 minutes. The other upside of this carrier is the price; much more economical than the others!
Comfortable for baby. Quick to put on & use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable baby carrier that is quick to put on! I received this product for free from Influenster and Infantino in exchange for my honest review. I am very impressed with how many different ways you can carry your baby. I like that it has a front facing and back facing option. The straps are very durable, and it holds my baby in a comfortable position. Going on a walk has made this easier to hold my baby and let's me have my hands free. I really like the color as well. I'm really happy to be using this!
My very 1st carrier
I bought this carrier 5.5 years ago when I had my 1st child. I am now about to have baby #3 and I must tell you the easiest carrier to put on, lightweight, very comfortable for the baby and easy to clean. I used this carrier so many hours, months and years that it well paid off how much I spent on it. Unlike other carriers, it's very affordable. Since then, I always tell all my newbie friend mom's to get this one in particular! High quality material that lasts for many years and the baby sleep so good in it! I highly recommend this product!
