When wearing this carrier on your front, can the child face outward?

No, wouldn't be comfortable. The design of the carrier really prohibits facing outwards..

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.

No, they can only face towards you. I don't know of any soft carriers where they can face out once they get beyond being teeny babies.

No. Just inward. I believe Boba makes a side/hip carrier so that your baby has more of a view. I will say however that although your child cannot face outward, it does support your child's body appropriately and keeps her hips in proper alignment. My baby girl loved the boba and facing inward even at age 9 months.

Yes. My son loves this carrier. Can be worn on the front or back and has a wonderful clip so it doesn't fall of his little shoulders.

Yes, but I never use it. The back of the carrier comes up high enough to brace my baby's head when he's sleeping (and he's 12 months, in the 50-75th percentile in height).

If the seat is rear-facing, then yes (but would be cramped for long rides). If the child is forward facing, it is still doable, but would be uncomfortable.

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

No. But you can carry on your back. Babybjorn is the best facing the world carrier.

There is a built in attachment underneath the carseat that you can adjust for when your child is rear facing. It just flips up.But it is not like an infant carrier where you detach the base and can carry around the upper portion. This seat would be for non-infants.

Yes. There's a big front-flap that extends from the top-back of the carrier down to the bottom-front. It has two layers - one is canvas and the other is mesh - so depending on what you want you can let her see out or keep her in the dark. There are also similar viewing flaps on the left and right sides. With all viewing meshes exposed Jardine will be able to see out the front, sides, and a little of the top.

I have mine facing front. you can't really recline it back when its front facing and once it is strapped in its not going anywhere.

Only if the child is facing toward you. If the child is facing out the organizer gets in the way :(

No it does not. But it does work great on your back for older babies! The point of this type of carrier is to hold the child in a sitting position which is better on the child's spine, than to be suspended by the crotch. (which would be necessary to face forward. Hope this helps. :)

You can but it is much more comfortable for the child facing toward you. The leg holes are more comfortable than most carriers because they face that certain direction and coddle your child.

Front face, however when The infant seat is inserted it faces the other way so you can see your baby's face.

Yes, the main seat does allow for your child to travel forward or rear facing in the top position until 55 lbs. We do not recommend using the second seat without use of the primary position because of proper weight distribution needed to prevent tipping.

It is possible in forward-facing with lap belt only. I'm not sure about rear-facing but I don't think so.

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!

Hi JLMoore! As Nathaniel, Eric, and Jenny have confirmed, Indie is forward facing unless used with an infant seat or Carrycot. Thank you for your question!
