Hippychick Hip Seat New - Hot Pink is available in Accessories
Our award winning Hipseat has been developed to allow adults to carry their children naturally on their hip without the usual strains on the back - it is ideal for babies and toddlers aged 6 months up. The Hipseat is renowned for its durability, style and comfort. It is tough, hardwearing and machine washable. The Hippychick Hipseat is a back supporting belt, with an integral padded foam shelf, developed to allow adults to carry their children naturally on their hip without the usual strains on the back. Specifically designed to address one of the root causes of adult back pain, the seat provides a firm shelf for the child to sit on and supports their increasingly heavy weight from underneath. Instead of twisting the spine, the back stays straight and the child is tucked into the chest on whichever side is more comfortable for the wearer, providing comfort and security for both adult and child. As well as being a comfortable way of carrying your child it has the added benefit of encouraging interaction. The Hipseat has a padded seat with a non-slip pad for extra comfort and is available in 5 fantastic colours - Hot Pink, Black, Purple, Grey and Navy. Each Hipseat is packed in an Eco drawstring bag for easy storage.

Good idea. Am mainly using it to help lug my hefty 4month old around the house. It is certainly saving my back. HOWEVER, there are a couple of fundamental design flaws that need to be pointed out:
1) fastenings seem designed so product is worn over right hip. Fine if left handed but I am sure most people prefer to wear over left hip so right hand is free for tasks. It can be twisted round and worn on left but it is annoying when getting on and off.
2) the sticky part of the velcro faces in towards the body so unless you are very careful it sticks to and snags clothes.
3) there isn't quite enough padding around the seat itself which is made from hard injection mould foam. I've put some toy stuffing in which seems to be helping but until then it wss bruising my hip something chronic!
I'm still using the product and since there isn't really anything else like it on the market I would recommend to anyone suffering from back pain as a result of carrying a heavy...

I ordered this for my 3 year old as any time we are out he wants to be up quite alot if we don't have the pushchair. My arms and left hip (I can only carry him on my right hip or he keeps dropping down so all the weight goes on the left hip) ache. I thought this would solve the dropping down problem and take the weight of my arms. Having tried it on and tested it around the house this morning I can say it's a great product. He doesn't feel as heavy as when I just carry him and he said it was very comfortable. It means he's higher than he would normally be when carried so I was getting loads of kisses which is a nice perk :-) As your arm is more of a support as opposed to something holding the weight of the child no more arm ache. Great product for anyone who doesn't always want to have a pushchair with them but who still needs to rest their legs sometimes. I don't drive and am on my own so when we go out I can't share the carrying. I wish I'd got one years ago. Delivery was amazing...
