Thinking About Purchasing a Hip Seat Carrier?
There are about a million ways you can hold your baby. There are strollers, wraps, slings, hip seat carriers and - their favorite spot - in your arms. Multitasking while on the go is tough, but it can be made a lot easier with carriers. With the wealth of options available, it can be hard to decide which one you want to go with; or what might ultimately be best for you and your baby.
Quick Benefits
One of the best purchases you can make for your baby is a hip seat carrier. They are shown to be much more beneficial for babies than strollers, as well as promote mental development. Not only are strollers large that leave a large ecological footprint, but studies have shown that strollers in which your baby faces away from you might do more harm than good. Study: Away-facing strollers stress babies (Article). Instead, babies who are carried in a carrier close to mom or dad are shown to cry less, as it promotes bonding and healthy digestion. This means less upset tummies and less crying breakdowns when you’re trying to go about your day with your baby! In addition, they take up much less space in crowded areas like airports, museums or grocery stores. One of the best quotes we’ve heard is, “I can’t believe what a difference the hip wedge makes, you can immediately feel the support to your back, as opposed to a traditional soft carrier. It was like finding the right bra for the first time, comfort, support, and freedom” Hip seat carriers also offer two free hands for mom or dad, which is especially golden if you have more than one child. Our carriers also encourage healthy mental and emotional development for the child. This is because while your baby is close to you, he or she isn’t so worried about it’s need for warmth and comfort. It can be distracting for your baby, and cause crying fits. Instead, your baby can focus more on his or her surroundings and learn about their environment. Toddlers also benefit greatly from a hip seat carrier, since they are able to interact with you at eye-level instead of being far away from earshot in a outward-facing stroller.

It is also an added benefit because you can easily wash it if you need to. Once you remove the foam wedge from the hip seat, make sure you secure all buckles in the clipped position before putting in the washer. Then, use mild detergent on a gentle cycle and line dry. Not only is the foam wedge seat easy removable, but the hip carrier also offers a removable hood, adjustable back or chest belt, hideaway cover with mesh lining, storage pockets, Velcro waistband, a non-slip seat pad, built-in adjustable infant support and three stylish colors.
