Flying Falcon Infant Car Seat Carrier

We are travelling soon overseas which would require safety car seat for my son's car ride, so we will bring the infant car seat along with us, With this carrier it makes us much easier to bring the car seat with hands free when carrying luggages at the airport, etc. while my husband is holding my son. I wouldn't put my son in the carrier he is going to be 11 months and i don't think this carrier is designed for carrying baby in it. we could have bought some similar products like a car seat stroller but it costs a lot more and unnecessary as we no longer use this infant car seat for our car while he is getting little big. This is economical and ideal for travel i imagine.

I was hesitant to purchase this, but I needed a way to carry my infant in a carseat while leaving myself available to hold my toddler's hand and chase him if needed. I had no idea how I was going to get my toddler in and out of the car safely while negotiating my newborn. Unlike what negative reviews suggest, this is not a substitute for carrying your baby in arms or in a sling. It is for those circumstances in which you need to carry your infant's carseat, such as going into a restaurant. Even though it's great for two little ones, I would have loved to have had this with my first as well, because I am short and have a hard time carrying the carseat by the handle in general.

The product is high quality and easy to use. I use the seat carrier every time we don't need to use a stroller. It acts like a safety harness and reduces stress on your arms while carrying the car seat on long distances.

This is really helping me carry my not-so-small baby in his carrier when he falls asleep. I wish it was easier to keep it from dragging on the ground when not in use.

I'm using this with a Safety 1st Onboard 35. The basic concept is pretty good... but this really does not work with a larger car seat. Don't know how it would be with a smaller one, but for a 35 pound capacity bucket seat, it's downright unsafe. Once, when I did not have a good grip on the seat itself, it pivoted, and if my baby hadn't been strapped in he would have been on the ground.As it is, it merely provides a little bit of weight distribution, not the hands-free capability I am used to from the Stay In View I used with my older child. That carseat had an integrated foot-to-head strap and no hard handle at all (much preferable.)This strap tends to slip and turn and move, cannot be fixed with the strap in one position on my car seat. Because of how my car seat is designed, if I position the straps the way they are in the picture, the whole thing is "top heavy" and will pivot toward the baby's head, which is worse than useless. And the straps are not stable at the top of the carrier, nor can I put them on the inside of the handle, which might make things more secure. I can't tighten or lengthen the horizontal strap across the top, and it's either too big or not big enough for stability.It is marginally better than carrying the thing by the handle alone, but mostly the only time I use it is to get the carseat into and out of the car at home. It makes a decent strap for the empty carseat, but requires too much attention to be really useful for hauling the baby.

This is a fantastic buy, love it, used for 3 infants and it's still in good shape, recommend this to all parents!

The Flying Falcon is flippin' awesome. Don't try to use it in place of a baby wrap or carrier. That's not the point; I really wouldn't attempt to use this device for baby-wearing. However, if you have a very heavy baby (I do) and your garage is in the basement (it is) and you regularly have to carry the car seat up stairs or through a parking lot or into people's houses, this thing ROCKS! Keep in mind, sometimes you have to go places where there is nowhere to place a baby that does not already sit up on his own, especially when you have more than one child with you. In these cases, it is practical to bring your infant with you. Doctor visits, preschool drop off for siblings, other people's unchildproofed homes.With a baby in the hundredth percentile for weight, and a toddler who likes to take off when freed from his car seat, every exit from my vehicle was a challenge. This device makes it manageable, if not exactly easy.Also great for:- Simultaneously carrying baby and holding a toddler's hand for short distances- Preventing bruises on your arm from an overly heavy infant carrier, and hence strange stares from people who then see your bare arms- Carrying baby while hitching up jeans that are (finally!) starting too be big for your post maternity figure- Scaring the crap out of people when you quickly let go of the seat, hold out your arms and say, "Look ma! No hands!" (<--don't do this...too often)- According to the image, talking on the phone, which if you're asking me, any REAL parent would have mastered without this device. The marketing team on this thing could have done better. How about a picture of a mom wearing this thing and holding the hand of a toddler with one hand, a hot coffee with the other, talking on a bluetooth headset while climbing the stairs.I love mine, and no, I don't work for or know anyone at Flying Falcon.

Clearly this is not meant as a replacement for a stroller or sling or any other type of carrier. What this strap does, is allow you to carry your infant's car seat without hurting you. I have several small children and I am now able to hold hands with two kids while still carrying the baby in his car seat. This is way better than needing two hands to carry the seat with it's awkward handle while the toddler strays off into the street.For all those times when you are just carrying your baby in and out of the car, this is a wonderful help. I'm using it for a second baby now. Wish I'd known about it sooner for my other kids!
