I bought this carrier when my daughter was about six months old, having tried and hated every other carrier I came across.why did I hate them?? well every one is designed with a harness that goes over shoulders and around your body to secure it. now at 5 foot 2 inches and being a size 8-10 i ended every time i used a carrier with bad back and seriously painful shoulders and carrying any baby over 10kg was a mission.
I found the hippychick seat in one of the baby catalogues and decided that I would give it a try.
It is basically like a 'bumbag' of the 80s with a solid insert inside that provides a platform for your baby to sit on. with a good strong velcro fastening and a strap and buckle to secure it further.
I have used this to carry my 4 yr old from school (he suffers with joint pain from hypermobility so sometimes gets tired). and did not get back ache :o) . while pushing the pushchair with baby in with other hand the carrier is designed in such a way that I can swap children that need a carry very easily
there are no straps to secure your child but i always found that I would use one hand on child in carrier anyway so this was fine with me
it only comes in black which co-ordinates well with whatever your wardrobe contains and has a small security pocket inside (that I found wasnt much use to be honest) I have had comments several times on how ingenious it is and how good for new walkers to be able to walk but be easily and painlessly carried when needed.
