Can baby be placed in this carrier both inward facing and outward facing? From the photos it looks like only inward facing.

It is inward facing only, but when the baby is old enough it can go on back (back pack style). It is a great product. I have used it for two babies, and my 18 month old is still riding in the backpack. I love it!!!!

It's only for inward facing. If you want outward facing, hip, and back carries, I suggest a woven wrap style carrier. They have a learning curve to using them, but are very versatile and comfortable carriers.

I agree, I havent placed baby outward facing on the mei tai and I dont think it would work either.... I usually carry baby on my back.....

I've only used it with my baby facing inwards. It's one of the most useful baby items I own

I have only used it inward facing. When she gets a little bigger she might fit outward.

No only inward facing. I tried outward and it covers baby's face completely so not safe :(

I was only able to use it inward facing, but when the baby is older they can also go on your back and face forward from that position.

Almost positive the instructions tell you inward facing only when worn on the front. When my kids were ready to see things I started carrying them on my back & they loved to look around from that vantage point.

As far as I know - you "could" do the outward facing - like in the bjorn's but I have never done it myself nor does the site hold a position on it. I have been told it's not the best position for baby's hip

I would not advise outward, because there no support in the neck area for the baby, plus all the support is coming from your body.

Thanks for your question! Your little one can be held on your front or your back, facing inward only. Boba does not offer a forward facing position. Please let me know if you have any other questions regarding the Boba Air, I'd be happy to help! -Alyson, Boba Inc.

We got this for our granddaughter at our son's request. The carrier is otherwise wonderful but they were disappointed not to be able to have her face forward when it's used as a front carrier. Tried and couldn't make it happen. If you find that it can be done, let me know.

Boba specs the front carry for 15-30 lbs. They do not recommend front-facing, because that position forces the baby's legs to hang down and strain her hips and arch her back. I never carried my daughter front facing because she hated it...maybe that is why. Anyway, I'd say the design of the carrier follows Boba's thinking on the matter.

No, the baby has to face you. You can, however, wear the baby (facing you) on the front, on your back, or on your side (the side just takes re-configuration of the straps). My kids, even the ones who loved being forward-facing in the Baby Bjorn, did fine in the Ergo facing me. Once they're big enough to ride in the Ergo without the infant insert (once they have head control), they are high enough in the carrier to look around quite a bit, so I think this is why it worked for us. Hope this helps!

In the stroller seat part yes, you can choose to have them face either way. The bassinet and car seat adapters only face one way, which is towards you

Hello! The baby faces the rear of the car. (It's only a rear facing seat, you'll have to get another seat once the baby is bigger, we used it for about 8months, but my son was a big baby! Lol) I really liked this car seat. It's very easy to put in and take out.

It is not really suited for use as a carrier in general. If the baby is in it, holding it by the handle without using another hand to brace it doesn't work well. It simply tips forward and back too much. It is nice for carrying it without the baby and for lifting it onto the stroller though.

Well, actually there's 5 (to my knowledge). Face in, face out, on hip, on back, and the cradle position for newborns. Unless your right hip and left hip count for 2 positions... LOL :D anyway, have had this carrier since my baby was 5 months and shes now 16 months. Most often use face out position... She's almost big enough for the piggyback position... Haven't tried that one yet. Me and my daughter absolutely love this carrier! Perfect support... Could wear my 23 pound baby for hours if I had to!

Yes. Mine is installed rear-facing and will be turned around when the baby gets older. Fits perfectly in rear-facing position.

This carrier has a head support for an infant baby and it should always be held with the face on your chest . We used it for my baby girl when she was 1 month and it is adjustable, to fit her later to now she is 8 months I put her the other way around and she loves looking around :)

You can only carry a baby facing you in this carrier, or on your back. I should think the carrier doesn't make that much difference with the position of baby's legs, as this type carriers always mean legs are wide open and knees bent, kind of like squatting, much the same way as if you're carrying a baby on your hips. That is supposed to be more ergonomic for the baby than legs hanging right down, less stress on the baby's back.

Yes, the baby can face you, in bassinet mode. I believe all configurations are shown on combi's actual site. I highly recommend this stroller.

I have the Britax B-Ready stroller. I can turn the adapter in any direction that I want my baby to face. On the adapter it is labeled which side is the front. It is for the front of your carseat not the front of the stroller itself. If you want baby facing you then have the 'front' of the adapter facing you. If you want the baby facing away from you then have the 'front' facing away.

It is not possible with this carrier, but it's not as good for babies' hips to be worn that way anyway.

This product can only be used as a front carrier with baby facing you or out .

I haven't used this carrier for a few years (my daughter is now almost 3), but as I recall, you can unclip on the side and put the baby in facing the front. I remember this carrier being very user friendly.Hope this helps!
