Infantino Flip 4-in-1 Convertible Carrier review

Infantino Flip 4-in-1 Convertible Carrier is the mass-market option on this list. Infantino lists four ways to carry: facing in with a narrow seat, facing in with a wide seat, facing out and a back carry. It is rated for children from 8 to 32 lb. Infantino describes an ergonomic seat when facing in, adjustable head support, extra-padded shoulder straps and a supportive waist belt that moves weight to the wearer's hips, and it includes a Wonder Cover bib. The Flip comes in many colors and patterns, and Infantino also sells Light and Airy and Luxe versions. The main limits are range and price clarity. A 32 lb maximum ends sooner than the 40 to 45 lb ratings of the full-range carriers, and Infantino's own site sends buyers to Target, Walmart, Amazon and Babylist instead of selling it directly, so we could not verify a price on the maker's page. We compared documented features and published prices.
