Baby Hip Seat Carrier Baby Waist Stool for Child Infant Toddler with Adjustable Strap Buckle Pocket Soft Inner Huge Storage (Dark Grey)

Nice little baby seat. It does kind of dig into my hip while he’s sitting on it, not sure if it’s the fault of the user though lol. Easy to carry him around and if the belt is on I don’t worry so much about keeping a hand on him. Nice storage area to put his bottle, some toys, your wallet, and phone. Good value for what you get

It does not worth the money because it does not actually support my back while carrying my baby. By using it for 10 minutes, it will hurt the area underneath the baby seat. It does not just hurt a little.

This is my favorite thing I’ve ever bought on Amazon. I am able to carry my grandson with ease, even at 30 pounds, without any discomfort at all. It is a game changer, for sure. It completely supports all his weight and all I have to do is make sure he doesn’t fall off. No more aching arms, shoulders, and back. I’ve had it awhile and it is holding up very well. Strangers comment positively on it almost every time I use it in public. The central pouch has a nice capacity to fit some travel wipes and a few diapers. Plus a snack if desired.

I bought this carrier when going on a cruise where I knew I would be doing quite a few activities on and off the ship. My son is 10 months and doesn't like strollers and abhors traditional carriers. This product is the only thing I can carry him in without him whining and crying and it takes the weight off my arms. I did use it without the strap as I found after placing it firmly around my waist I didn't need it, plus it dug in my neck and shoulder. I was stopped at least 5 times a day by people asking about it so be prepared for those questions. I was able to do a 3 mile hike with my son comfortably on an excursion in the Mayan jungles of Mexico. I guess that was the real test. Usually when carrying my son in my arms for extended periods they ache the next day but with this I didn't have that. I did have the ache in my neck when using the strap so I stopped using that part as I mensioned before. I also found that it had enough storage for shorter trips around the ship so I didn't have to carry my hand bag and or diaper bag in addition to the carrier. It held a bottle, a small pack of wipes and a diaper with a small wallet in the seat plus another bottle in the elasticized outer pouch and my phone in the zippered pouch. This does require you to hold your baby so it is not hands free, but its waaaaay better than actually lifting your baby. You just pretty much brace your baby against you. I don't think I could've enjoyed the trip as much without this carrier and the price was right. I only own one other carrier which is the typical hands free one but it's hot and my son hates it. Plus it had no storage.

Long story short, if you are looking for a carrier for a baby to toddler, this is by far the best I've used. This is the second product I ordered. The first one was a different brand with similar looking, but didn't have the large packet under the seat (the seat was solid) and had no shoulder strap. The first one tremendously saved my back and relieved the pain when carrying my baby around. So when it was a little worn and my now toddler still wants to hop on me when going out, I started looking. Knowing what works well as a carrier, I was super excited when seeing this product. The carrier itself frees your hand (one hand, you still need to hug your baby with one hand since there is no bucket to tie the baby on you) and instantly relieves the tension and weight on your back. I can carry my almost 40 pounder to walk for a mile without problems, v.s. without it, I have to put the toddler down to rest my back every couple of blocks. This product is an upgrade to me because of the large pocket under the seat. A toddler typically needs less stuff than a baby, so I have been using a tiny toddler backpack as the diaper bag for dining out and quick trips. But holding an extra bag still is not convenient, since I would like to leave my hands free to chase the little one as needed. Now, instead of hauling a diaper bag, I can put 2-3 pull-ups, a slim wipe pack, a juice box, and some snacks in, and I don't feel much extra weight on my waist. I havn't used the strap because the carrier works fine without it. I think for heavier toddlers or longer walk, the strap will help hold the weight better. We are planning on a long flight trip. My plan is to use this carrier as my purse and to carry a backpack as the diaper bag with all random stuff needed on the plane. Whoever designed this--Thank You!
