Hippychick Hipseat baby and toddler carrier

Daughter Olivia wasn't much interested in trying out the Hippychick Hipseat but as someone who values her back, I was ready to experiment  with this new baby and toddler carrier.

The Hipseat is essentially a wide, padded, back supporting belt, complete with integral padded "shelf" for baby to sit on.  Fitting it couldn’t be easier. It simply wraps around the hips, is adjusted with a velcro fastening and secured with an additional safety buckle tested to the highest safety standards.

Its innovative design stops parents from jutting out their hip for their child to sit on and twisting their spine in the process. Instead, the wearer’s back remains in its natural straight position with the Hipseat rather than the parent’s hip providing the seat for the child.
 
By supporting the child’s increasingly heavy weight from underneath the Hipseat instantly makes a child lighter to carry. 

From the moment the Hipseat arrived it was a huge success! Harriet loves sitting on what we call her  "saddle" – no guessing who is the horse! – where she is comfortable and I can carry her indefinitely as she is suddenly so light!

The belt has pockets on the inside – ideal for mobile, money tissues, whatever small things you need to carry around. It packs away neatly under a buggy so great for those times when you're out and baby/toddler just must have a cuddle!
