So easy to use
After receiving this carrier through Stellar Product Testing Panel, I fell in love instantly. U like my previous carrier, I love that im wearing the carrier and there's supposed between the baby and me. Also, the magnetic clips make carrying and supporting the baby so much easier than expected. The baby is supported well and it does not require a separate piece for infants.

Super cute and comfy carrier with bonus features
I have had this carrier a couple weeks and I absolutely love it! It is a little heavy but really not too bad. You can’t tell any extra weight once you have it on, but carrying it to the car the first time I though wow! This is kind of heavy. I have two kiddos in softball at different times so I can be at the ball field from 1-4 hours at a time so I was really happy that I had a carrier to use for my four month old who is not thrilled with being away from mom. I am a smaller person (5’3) and have worn some carriers that were huge on me and my short torso but this one fits great. It is super easy to get on and off and can buckle/unbuckle the back strap all by myself. From start to finish, I would say it takes less than five minutes to adjust and get baby snapped in and ready to go which is perfect for my crazy lifestyle. I don’t need to pause everything to get baby in and out. If baby starts melting down while in the carrier, the magnetic buckles really cut down on the time it takes to get baby in and out. I really cannot say enough good things about the magnetic buckles. At no time have I ever felt they were going to fail as they still have a button on the side you have to push to unbuckle them but it really is a snap! The instructions were super easy to understand once you figured out which way they had the carrier in the pictures. Adjusting it was as simple as hooking a loop around a button. I was amazed at how many cool features were tucked away in secret pockets on the carrier. There is a built in sun shade that rolls back in to the top pocket and then one of my favorite “bonus” items is the ability to make the mesh breathable front a little warmer by pulling out a cover from the bottom and buttoning it at the top during those cooler days and nights. I have a baby who just turned four months old and is the youngest of five children so she has to see what is going on at all times so I started her in the outward facing position with a little hesitation due to her age but she fit snugly in the carrier and didn’t bobble her head at all. I did unhook two fasteners to make it into a forward facing carrier but she kept cranking her head to try and see what was going on around her. Even though she didn’t like facing inwards, she still fit in the carrier really well and had great head support and her legs were always in the “M” position which is what is recommended to help with hip positioning. Another bonus feature was the two drool bobs that hook onto the top buttons because my baby has acid reflux and a massive spitter upper so having the ability to change out the drool bib and only wash that instead of the whole carrier every time is a HUGE plus. Overall, I am very happy with the Graco Cradle Me 4 in 1 Carrier that even got the approval from my husband! He was able to easily adjust a few straps and hook the baby right in with ease and the gray color it came in is very gender neutral and goes with everything! I would definitely recommend this carrier to any parent to be or anyone with a child that would fit. A HUGE thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this carrier.

Amazing, innovative carrier!
I received this carrier in exchange for my honest review from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This is my 2nd baby and I have tried many of the popular brand carriers. I settled on a favorite with my first baby and when I was contacted about testing this product I thought "I'll try it, but there's no way it will be better than the one I took so long to pick out"...I was wrong! The Graco CradleMe carrier has all of the features my old favorite had, plus all new features I wanted and some I didn't know I needed! It is so comfortable to wear and as a petite person, I noticed right away that I can sit down while wearing my large baby boy in this carrier and neither of us feel squished or uncomfortable. The lumbar and shoulder support is perfect and the material is so soft and breathable. I absolutely love that it has a sun hood and that it tucks away easily without dangly straps. There are so many places to tighten or loosen the straps to get just the right fit and it's easy to fold up all the loose ends so they are out of the way. The added washable teething pads are incredible, my little guy is teething and goes straight for the carrier straps. It's nice that I can easily change the cover when it gets wet and wash it. I wasn't sure about the magnetic buckle when I first read about it because I thought there was no way I could trust a magnet to hold my 18 pound 4-month-old securely but I am so impressed. The magnet acts as a lock feature so after you put your baby in the carrier, you just place the strap over the magnet and it buckles the carrier tightly for you. To unbuckle it, you press an easy latch to release the strap again. In other words, the magnet isn't what holds baby in place, it's what locks the strap in place for you. This carrier is so easy to get my baby in and out of and the magnet also makes it extra quiet so I am able to transfer him from the carrier to his crib when he falls asleep. I use my carrier every single day and this one has absolutely replaced my previous one from a well-known company. I honestly have not found anything I don't like about it after a few weeks of heavy use. It is such an innovative product that is going to be big competition for the previous top-selling carriers! 10/10 I recommend you try it!

Like being back in the womb!
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this carrier!! With work piling up with a new baby in the house, I needed to find a way to be hands free. Now, I’m finally getting back to work in my art studio! The carrier is extremely user friendly! Slide it over your head, buckle the straps, place baby in, and secure the magnetic buckles! Done!! And yes, you read that right...magnetic buckles! Game changer!! Once the baby is in place, you don’t want to frustrate them by fiddling with traditional buckles. This carrier just clicks into place and you’re ready to be hands free! You are still able to bend your head and give your little one a smooch, too! My baby is super colicky (YIKES!) and he loves to be held. This wasn’t working for me anymore, as I am a professional commission artist, and work was backing up on me. With the back support on this carrier, I am able to wear him a solid 2 hours while he naps, and I work comfortably without killing my back. Win-win! There is also head support to give your baby’s wobbly head some support. When it’s time to get baby out, just press the button to release one of the magnetic closures, and lift baby out! It’s THAT easy! I love this carrier!

The magnetic clips are game changers!
Love love this carrier that I received from Stellar Product Testing Panel. Baby loves it too. It’s super easy and quick to get on. When baby is screaming it’s easy to put her in and get her set up with the magnetic clips. Hands free nap time is the best!

Magnetic buckles are a game changer!
I used this carrier at the airport, at retail stores, and around the house to keep my hands free. Baby seemed comfortable and has thus far been able to fall asleep easily in it. I used this carrier at the airport, at retail stores, and around the house to keep my hands free. Baby seemed comfortable and has thus far been able to fall asleep easily in it. Let's start with the pros: The SecureConnect magnetic buckles are a game changer! They made it super easy and quick to get baby in and out of the carrier on my own, without worrying that she might slip out of my hands. The carrier was also easy to adjust on my own. I also loved that there was no additional newborn insert to buy or forget in my case. Baby is currently chewing on everything and drooling everywhere so I loved that this carrier included organic washable and removeable bibs and harness covers. I have a very small waist and found that I was able to snug the carrier tightly against my waist, which I am not able to do with some other carriers. Now with the cons: An integrated pocket in the carrier would have come in handy to store my boarding pass or cell phone. You cannot use the removeable bib in the inward facing direction. Thus, if you are switching from outward facing to inward facing, you have to remove the bib first, which is daunting if you are trying to balance not dropping the baby and switching harness positions. Lastly, despite the presence of the front mesh panel, it seemed to carry hot. Overall, I really like this carrier and will continue using it as my carrier of choice because of the magnetic buckles. It's extremely important to me that baby is secure and comfortable and that I can get her in and out of the carrier on my own; this carrier fits the bill! Even though I was given this carrier to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, all comments are my own true and honest opinions.

You had me at magnetic!
Working from home while caring for a toddler and infant is a juggling feat. At times, it can be stressful to be on a video meeting and hear a fussy baby that needs attending to. With a typical structured carrier with all buckles, it can be cumbersome to get it put on and then strapping the baby in, BUT! MAGNETIC BUCKLES. They're a time saver and makes putting baby in and getting baby out of the carrier a cinch. In fact, the magnetic buckles also made baby wearing accessible for my mom who occasionally helps care for our children. So if you have some fine motor difficulties with buckles, perhaps the magnetic option is a consideration. The carrier was easy to adjust and comfortable to wear (for both me and baby). I also like how lightweight it is compared to our other structured carrier. The only downside is that the sun hood isn't detachable so there's a bit of a lump behind the baby's neck, and the tightening straps to make baby closer in slide on occasion due to the fabric material. Overall though, I wouldn't say those are dealbreakers (personally) and the pros GREATLY outweigh the few cons. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the opportunity to test out this convenient baby carrier!!

New Mom Must Have!
The Graco Cradle me 4-n-1 carrier has been a lifesaver as I have been adjusting to being a mom of two now! This carrier has been great at keeping my hands free to chase my toddler and allow my one month old to nap. It has been easy to use around to house and the mesh outside has kept us cool while on family walks! Once the carrier is easily adjusted to fit my body, the magnetic snaps make it so easy to take baby in and out. They make a nice click sound when secure so you know baby is in snug and safe. The carrier is very comfortable and did not make my back hurt like other carriers can. I also love how it grows with baby and adapts to different range of sizes. My toddler can also fit into the carrier if need be! The versatility and simple sleek look makes this carrier functional for both mom and dad! I love how I could do household chores and entertain my toddler while my newborn was still being held. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this carrier to review!
