MOMIDEAL Baby Carrier with Hip Seat, Baby Carrier Newborn to Toddler, Detachable Baby Hip Seat Carrier for 7-66lbs, All Seasons Baby Holder Carrier, All Position.

I’ve gone through 2 baby carriers and they were okay but this one beat all of them. My baby loves being carried all the time. So I got a regular baby carrier but that really hurt my back I then got the waist carrier it was good but I would like to have the option to be hands free. That’s why I love how this one has both options and it’s actually better on my back than the other 2 I have. I got the light grey really pretty and great soft quality for the baby to be in. 👍🏻

I bought this because the Ergo baby carrier was cutting off at my babies neck at all ages from NB to 1yr so I decided to try a different carrier and since he was getting heavier, I thought the seat would be good. Positives: Ended up working out very well, the seat does provide much needed support, my baby's overall comfort seems better in this carrier than the other one we have and the seat is detachable so you have the option to use the carrier as a normal carrier. Negatives: super bulky for travel bc of the seat so doesn't fold well and still a little confusing (like all carriers IMO) with so many straps. Overall recommend.

I wanted to get a hip belt seat for carrying my baby, even just wearing around the house, so as to lessen the strains on my hip and arms when taking baby from room to room and so forth. There are so many options on Amazon, and so many with similar price range and ratings, that I decided to test out a variety. I got 12 options to try - All have hip belt option functionality, but they differ in that some also had a supportive shoulder strap for mom, some have added "seatbelt" for baby, some had option to become full-body/hands-free baby carriers, some had more pockets than others etc.I compared them based on look and feel of materials quality; buckle, strap, velcro and zipper quality and function; pocket functionality/practicality; comfort of wearing the belt/harness; comfort for baby (i.e. hip seat padding etc); ease of getting the belt/harness on and off and ease of getting baby in and out of it. The 12 I tested were from the following brands: Sunevo, BabyMust, Cloud Mom Inc., Gabesy, Bebamour, Zooawa, N++A, Tico, DaDa, Talenbeen,Mumgaroo, and Growns.In the end, the one I decided to keep was by brand Bebamour.But here is my review for this belt...MOMIDEAL / a.k.a "Growns" full carrier with hip seatThe fabric is nice. The zippers are metal and feel quality but are thin enough that they don't create much resistance when trying to open and close the side pocket. The side pocket is larger than the Bebamour. It does have a flap that can open and give supposedly an air vent on the baby's chest or back, but the mesh seems so thick, since it's doubled up, that it hardly would make a difference. The hip seat is a foam block which is more comfortable for the wearer The big downsides are that it's straps are seat belt material that is super slick, which means the straps could slip. It also has the internal sling flap thing for the baby to sit in (as the Tico and Talenbeen had) which just creates the extra pain in the butt element of trying to get baby in and out of it, especially without assistance. Also the sun shade hooks to clips that are trickier to use while it's on you.

Now that I'm used to using it everyday, it becomes easy to use daily now. At first it was difficult and couldn't not figure out how to put my baby on it without struggling. In their original video which they now got rid off, they never showed how the model put her baby or show how she struggled.I like their new video of how to put it on and how to put the baby on. There's one thing I found in the video very useful for me, I didn't know I can snap close the back strap and just put it over my head.Keep that video as it is very useful for your new customers.Also the reason why I gave this 3 stars is because, I almost drop my brand new phone when I was about to store it in the side pocket.The side pocket is very flimsy, it could be stiffer so it's easy to unzip and zipped back with just one hand.Anyway, since then I never used that side pocket again.

I love the hip seat but the carrier itself is so frustrating! The safety strap is impossible to clip without the help of someone else. This carrier design is not user friendly at all. Even the video on the page doesn't show how to clip the safety strap independently. Avoid buying the carrier. The hip seat is great though!
