My infant is not really an infant any more. He's approaching 20 months old already. So officially, he's more like a toddler now, but he's still only around 20 pounds give or take a wet diaper and he wants me to carry him every single minute of the day, so I was more than happy to accept an opportunity to review the newest Infantino baby carrier: The Wrap & Tie.The Wrap & Tie does just that: It wraps around your body and ties in different ways which offers you more options that other baby carriers. This is a three-in-one backpack carrier which offers the versatility of allowing your baby to face in or out in the front and switches to backpack style for additional wear. I've tried a lot of baby carriers and I think it's a nice benefit to have the option to wear in front (my preferred choice for napping on the go) or in back (better for going for walks or a run through the grocery store.)
The other nice thing I found about the Wrap & Tie Carrier is that it's adjustable to fit parents of all sizes. That's not always true of all baby carriers.
The Wrap & Tie Carrier is suitable for newborns up to 35 lbs. Even though it's good up to 35 lbs, I don't think it's really meant for a bigger baby like mine because he's skinny but he's long. He wasn't comfortable in the front but it worked well for us in the backpack mode.
I'll admit that when I unwrapped the carrier I found the long straps a little bit daunting, but the instructions were easy to follow and the straps turned out to be cushioned and comfy on the body.
Infantino Wrap and Tie Baby Carrier sells for around $39.99, so it's a good price for something with such practical applications. (Mine was provided by Infantino. Thanks Infantino!)
