User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Poorly Designed
This is the only carrier we have tried so far, but it is terrible. It is almost impossible to get the baby in there yourself. It takes a team effort. There are so many clips and they are really hard to clip into place. The last time we used it, one of the ones on the back just simply would not come undone and I had to loosen everything and pull it up over my head in the airport. It was a mess. My son seemed okay in it, but it looked uncomfortable. There is really no comfortable place for his arms. And if you do face him out, away from you, there is cloth in his face (that would have been behind his head) and there is a tiny little snap that is meant to fold that down so that he can see, but it doesn’t hold in place and then it pops back up into his face. One more problem, it BARELY fits around my husband’s waist. He is a big guy, but not that big, he has a 40″ waist, and it must be exactly 40″ – so if you or your spouse are any bigger than that, don’t bother. There must be better carriers out there. Sorry Infantino!

4 Stars what a relief!
I beg to differ about large chested users…..personal info, but, I’m a “DD” and this is fine. I’m also plus sized, I’m 5’9 and a size 20 in shirts and this fits me just fine. It’s EASY to put on and EASY to get my 11 lb 7 week old in and out of. It doesn’t hurt my back and I have a prior low back injury. This is the best $30 I spent all year!

5 Stars Works Great Especially as Baby Get’s Older
We bought Infantino Front 2 Back Rider Baby Carrier in Black and Greylast minute as we were on our way to a sporting event. We are so glad we did because it works wonderfully. I have back problems and a bigger chest and this carrier worked very nicely for me since the straps are both padded and wide. I had it on several times for a few hours at a time and it didn’t hurt. It does take a few minutes to figure out how all the straps connected and the first 2 times I did have problems getting my daughter who was 3 months at the time in it quickly and easily. After a few times though it gets easier, trust me.

I recommend putting the carrier on first, then unbuckle the sides of the actual carrier part where the baby sits, put baby in then buckle the sides back up. It worked better for me when I was able to sit to put her in. Taking baby out is easiest if you can just take it off and lay them down. I used it a lot to get my oldest from the bus stop.

The little pocket in the front was great to stash her pacifier. My husband used it with our daughter on his back and both of them were comfortable. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a comfortable carrier that will last and grow with your baby.

4 Stars Took a minute to figure out
The instructions with this are not very detailed so it took a minute to figure some things out. Not the best support for a heavy baby (mine is 23 lbs)I felt fine with him on front but hurt when he was on my back. I think if I had worked up to the 23 lbs gradually it probably would have helped. A very good deal for the price. Once you get everything positioned right it is very comfy.

1 Star Big Disappointment
The straps are very complicated and dangle loosely. It’s impossible to get on and off by yourself. I actually got stuck in it and thought I’d have to call for help. The clips that hold the baby to you require two hands to undo, making it impossible to hold the baby secure while undoing the straps. The only way to get him out is to lean over the couch so he can rest on it while undoing the clips. I know this is supposed to keep the clips from coming undone while walking around, but it makes it unsafe when you actually do want to open them. They should be secure but quick-release, so you can get the baby out quickly if there’s an emergency. No matter what I do, there seems to be no way to position my newborn so his face isn’t smashed against my chest, making me worry about suffocation.
