We recently had the Carfit+ in for review. This was reviewed by our experienced baby wearing expert that we have on the team. The Carifit+ Carrier is designed for active parents who want to stay connected to their little ones while maintaining an active lifestyle. But is it all sweat and no snuggles? We tested the Carifit+ to see if it delivers on both fitness and comfort.

Carifit+ Review
First Impressions
The Carifit+ has a sleek, modern design with breathable, moisture-wicking fabric. It has an athletic feel about it. We loved the soft feel of the material – and it has a modern look which will appeal to men and women alike.
We found the carrier to be lightweight and comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. The adjustable straps and waistband were easy to use in order to ensure a secure and customised fit for both parents and different body types.
Fit for Parents / Caregivers
The Carifit+ will fit all parents and care givers (it is adjustable from 65-150cm – approx dress size, 6-22!). Please note you don’t have to be a woman, or wear a dress to use this carrier! It really is fully (and easily) adjustable.
We found it incredibly easy to put on – there is no awkward back clip which many people struggle to master. We loved the ‘racer’ back design which helped to spread the weight across your back rather than in certain touch-point positions. This will help to eliminate any risk of back strain for the parent. This is especially important as baby gets older or you are doing some exercise using this carrier.
Fit for Baby
The Carifit+ is suitable from birth as long as baby at least 7lbs (3.2kg). We were impressed with the support that this carrier offered even the youngest of babies. It was easy to get a baby into the carrier due to the intuitive design of the fastenings. We found it easy to adapt the fit to different aged babies.
Hitting the Gym (or Park)
The Carifit+ truly shines when it comes to fitness. The supportive design evenly distributes your baby’s weight, making it comfortable to carry your little one while exercising. We appreciated the secure feeling, even during activities like brisk walks or light jogging.
Cuddles and Comfort
Despite its focus on fitness, the Carifit+ doesn’t compromise on comfort for your baby. The soft, structured carrier provides excellent head and neck support for newborns and infants. Multiple carrying positions allow you to find the most comfortable option for both you and your baby, whether it’s for cuddling or exploring the world together.
Carifit Fitness App
The Carifit+ comes with a unique perk: a 12-month subscription to the Carifit fitness app. This app offers postnatal workouts, physiotherapy advice, and helpful tips for using the carrier. We found this to be a valuable bonus, especially for new parents looking for guidance on safe exercise with their baby. No other baby carrier to our knowledge currently offers this sort of support!
Conclusion
The Carifit+ Carrier is an excellent choice for active parents who want a safe and comfortable way to carry their baby while staying fit. The combination of ergonomic design, breathable materials, and the fitness app make it a standout option in the crowded baby carrier market.
Pros
- Comfortable for parent and baby
- Excellent weight distribution
- Secure for light workouts
- Breathable, athletic fabric
- Fitness app subscription included
Cons
- Limited carrying positions compared to some other carriers
- Pricier than some options
Would we recommend the Carifit+ to other parents?
We would recommend the Carifit+ Baby carrier to parents who lead an active lifestyle. This can be actively getting involved in fitness classes with your baby or using the app as guidance. It’s athletic appearance will work really well with your gym gear. Although this carrier is designed so you can exercise with your little one, it is suitable for ALL parents. Let’s face it, just becuase you wear leggings, this doesn’t mean that you have to be a regular gym-goer!
Overall, the Carifit+ Carrier is a versatile and functional choice for parents who are looking for both fitness and connection with their baby. We gave the Carifit+ Baby Carrier 9 out of 10 stars.
