Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier Review

In the end, the Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier is a top pick when it comes to baby carriers and has numerous thoughtful design features that any family will love.

SAFETY | Thoughtful Safety Features

Lillebaby exclusively designs baby carriers, wraps, and slings that are made with quality and functionality in mind. The Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier is, in our opinion, one of the top carriers that we’ve reviewed, and it delivers for safety. The material is BPA free, phthalate free, latex free, and lead-free. It is made of 100% cotton material with a mesh lining for maximum breathability.

The material is BPA free, phthalate free, latex free, and lead-free.

A huge safety feature to look for when buying baby carriers is proper hip and leg support as to prevent hip dysplasia. The Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier has a perfect ergonomic seat. It supports baby at the knees and leaves their cute little legs in the desired M-position as well as properly supporting baby’s developing spine. Additionally, different carry positions come with the ability to adjust for different seat settings (narrow and wide settings) for different ages and stages. For example, the front inward carry is made for a wide seated leg position, but the front outward carry is made for the carrier to be used in the narrow seated position.

Front and back carry are perfect for toddlers

Because the Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier has adjustable seat settings, there are a total of 6 different carry positions available with this carrier. This is the only carrier we’ve reviewed that truly has that many carry positions, and they all have thoughtful features and benefits according to baby’s age and stage of development. Also included in this carrier is the unique neck support feature. This supportive fabric piece can be folded up for babies that need neck support or that want to take a snooze. When it’s not needed, it can be easily folded down and buttoned to the frame of the carrier to move it out of the way.

COMFORT | Soft and Ergonomic

Lillebaby made comfort a priority for this carrier for both baby and parents. For parents, a lumbar support feature increases comfort and helps maintain healthy posture and back alignment which prevents lower back strain. The wide and padded waist belt helps distribute baby’s weight more evenly as well. In addition to the waist belt, wide and padded shoulder straps ease stress on the shoulders and are able to either be used crossed or uncrossed based on parent’s comfort. A two-way strap enables the wearer to carry baby “backpack style” or with straps crossed in the back, which provide extra support. Straps can also be worn uncrossed based on shoulder size and comfort.

The mesh on this carrier allows for optimal breathability and comfort for both baby and parent.

Another huge feature that comes with the Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier is the breathable mesh fabric. This allows the carrier to be worn in all weather. Some carriers, although comfortable, can be very hot and uncomfortable, especially in warmer weather. The mesh on this carrier allows for optimal breathability and comfort for both baby and parent. Some users have commented that the front outward carry position sometimes can put some pressure on baby’s legs. However, we’ve found that many baby carriers always lack in the front outward carry position in some way, so at least the Airflow keeps baby’s legs and hips in an ergonomic position.

Versatile back support

Also, a removable sleeping hood is included with the Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier. It features dual adjustment points to provide tailored support for baby’s head while sleeping. The hood also provides protection from the sun and the wind during harsher weather, protecting baby’s delicate skin. Another great benefit of the sleeping hood is that it provides privacy during nursing sessions, which are possible to do while strapped into this carrier with the adjustment of a few straps.

EASE OF USE | Simple and Versatile

Versatility

The Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier is possibly on of the most versatile carriers we’ve reviewed. It has 6 different ergonomic carrying positions and is able to be used from 7 pounds up to 45 pounds, well into toddlerhood. The carry positions include: front-fetal, front-infant, front-outward, front-toddler, hip, and back carry. One thing that is unique about the Lillebaby Airflow is that it doesn’t need an infant insert for small babies. It can be used straight from birth (most of the time) and keeps newborns in a similar position to how they were positioned inside mommy’s womb.

It has 6 different ergonomic carrying positions and is able to be used from 7 pounds up to 45 pounds…

What is most unique to this baby carrier is that it has 6 adjustable positions. The seat can be adjusted for wide or narrow seat settings based on how baby is being carried. Carrying in the front inward position? Set the seat on wide mode. Need to turn baby to front outward carry? Switch to narrow seat mode. There is a carry position that is perfect for every developmental stage, and Lillebaby breaks down each carry position and benefits for the user.

Performance

The Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier is very similar to the Ergobaby 360 Carrier, but a little better in a few ways. Besides the adjustable seat and 6 different carry positions (we broke those topics down earlier), the Airflow has an extendable torso feature. This feature provides further neck and back support and keeps taller babies more secure. The neck support has elastic straps that provide good support, but still allow little ones to move their head around.

All it takes is the adjustment of a few easy-release straps and baby can easily be nursed…

The sleeping hood and adjustable straps and buckles also make the Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier easy to nurse in. All it takes is the adjustment of a few easy-release straps and baby can easily be nursed in the front inward carry position. Some parents stated that there were too many straps and buckles, but this carrier is very similar to most other carriers we’ve reviewed, just with the added option to cross the straps in the back. The removable sleeping hood provides extra privacy for nursing as well as protection from the sun and the wind, or head support when kiddos are sleeping in the carrier.

A really nice feature about the Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier is the large zippered storage pocket that is easy to reach and perfect for storing essentials like phones, wallets, and even the removable sleeping hood. This pocket is definitely larger than other more popular carriers and has the potential to carry more items than the average carrier.

The best feature of the Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier is its ability to carry baby in 6 different positions.

The best feature of the Lillebaby Complete Airflow Carrier is its ability to carry baby in 6 different positions. All positions are ergonomic and have benefits for each stage and age that baby is in. The fetal carry is a front inward carry that keeps baby’s little legs in the fetal/froggy position. Infant face in carry is perfect for infants that are able to slightly spread their legs (narrow setting) and are too big for front outward carry or a wide inward carry. The front face out carry is perfect for babies with complete neck and head control, around the age of 6 months when baby is ready to explore. Toddler front face in position is great for toddlers that need to take a snooze and require a wider seat and the neck support for sleeping. The hip position a more natural way to carry baby that takes the strain off your back and simplifies doing tasks because baby is a little out of the way. Lastly, the back carry is great for heavier kiddos and for carrying for long periods of time.

Adjustable and stylish for dads too!
