It's anecdotal, but I have memories from when I was an infant. The only reason I know is because my parents relocated a lot when I was young. I have spacial recall of the layout of their apartments. I have specific vivid memories in a kitchen playing with a train. I can describe the layout of my parents apartments and the furniture they had. There are few pictures from that time period, and none showing the layout. A few years ago, I asked my mom about the layout of two of the apartments and described in very good detail the layout and furniture. She said I was correct. We moved out of those apartments by the time I was 2 years old. These are all mundane memories, a clock radio playing "Eye of the Tiger" across from my crib. Playing in a kitchen and dining area. The layout of my bedroom including the fact that there was a brick wall in the room. No pictures of this room and yet my parents remember these details as well. These are mundane spacial details.
There is further a memory I have of being outside of an apartment being carried inside the apartment and to the left of the entry way was a mirrored wall with an orange couch in front of it. My parents have no pictures from this time period, and we moved out of that apartment when I was a little over a month old, because it was, according to my mother, a childless apartment complex, so they had to leave.
I have a lot of memories that pre-date me being 4 which many people I know have no or only one or two memories from their lives that young.
I just find it hard to believe that I manufactured all these memories.
I don't believe that everyone has Infantile Amnesia. Maybe many do, but not everyone.
