Product Description
Product Description
The Hippychick Hipseat is an infant carrier that addresses the problem of comfortably carrying increasingly heavy babies and toddlers when they are too young to walk long distances, and yet too old to endure the restrictions of a carrier or sling.
Essentially a back supporting belt with an integral foam shelf for baby to sit on, the Hipseat is invaluable when travelling, doing the school run, sightseeing, using public transport, walking around shops or over difficult ground. It makes doing these and many other activities with a baby or toddler a breeze.
Made from a strong hardwearing fabric, renowned for its durability and style, the Hipseat folds up small for easy storage in luggage or buggy baskets. Handy internal pockets are a great way of storing passports, important documents, money and other valuables when travelling.
They say the best inventions are often the simplest and this couldn't be truer when it comes to the Hipseat. It allows parents to carry children naturally on their hips without the usual strains to the back and has the support and endorsement of scores of chiropractors and osteopaths.
It has a far longer life span than most carriers, being suitable for children from six months to three years and is often used for much longer than that by parents of children with special needs. Instead of twisting the spine, the back stays straight and the child is tucked into the chest on whichever side is most comfortable for the wearer.
Fully tested by the British Standards Institute, this deceptively simple design is available in several colours and is machine washable.

Absolutely fabulous! I bought one when my daughter was 5 months old as at 17lbs she was just too heavy for me to carry her in the baby carrier -my back was in bits! But she loves being able to see what's going on and arches her back to get out of the pushchair!Now 8 months old I don't know what we'd do without it. We take it out everywhere with us and it was particularly useful in the airport as we checked our pushchair in with our bags. I have it on permanently at home as with 3 flights of stairs it is a saviour. Ready to use straight out of the box; the belt part (100% nylon) velcros around your waist and there's a click in fastener for extra security. To put it on you position the seat (100% polyurethane and removable when you want to wash the belt) over your right hip and once on can use it on either side. As your baby/child is not attached you must hold on to them while seated. When out and about and not in use I velcro it around the pushchair handle. I have had no back pain since using this ingenious invention and have a very happy baby who can interact with mummy and see the world go by. An essential baby-buy for anyone who carries their baby/toddler!

Fantastic product! Stops me getting the tensed and painful muscles in upper arm and shoulder that I had before and allows me to walk straight, not with my hip sticking out.
When my one year old son (all 11kgs of him, bless) is having a "clingy" phase, I often walk around with the hip seat on most of the afternoon, whether I'm carrying him or not, and can immediately sit him on it if he demands it. All I then need to do is lightly hold onto him with one hand and can do loads of things in and around the house at the same time. And it goes without saying that my son loves being on the seat because he's close to his mum! I can carry him for much longer than without the seat and do not have to put him down because he is too heavy or my arm is killing me.
I also use the hip seat if I'm going into town by car and only have one or two things to do, leaving the buggy at home. And I've also walked the dog while carrying my son on the hip seat. In fact, it accompanies me most of the time, even if I have the buggy with me, the hip seat is velcro-ed to the handle, just in case. Wish I had known about them when my oldest son was born.
It takes a couple of tries to get the right position on waist/hip (I hold my breath and wrap it around my waist, fasten the clasp and then twist it round and push it down onto my left hip), but after that, off you go. It's sturdy and well-made, and I can only recommend it most highly.

Very easy and comfortable to use. Saves my back and arms from aching and means I can get on with lots of jobs when the baby won't let me put him down, without becoming exhausted. He still enjoys sitting on it now as a toddler. I would definitely recommend it.

Walking with toddlers
It takes away the weight from the arm and directs it to the hips. It works well for my 16 month old boy.

I love the hippychick because it help me to support my baby much easier. And when my baby sees that i put it on my hip, she smiles. The seller is very responsable.

Uselesss for Dad
The product came with a strong musty smell. I had to wash it three times, so it now looks used.
