HKAI Baby Carrier Hip Seat, Mom’s Choice Award Winner, Advanced Large Capacity Pocket with Adjustable Waistband, Shock Absorption Hip Seat Surface for Newborns & Toddlers, (Black)

This thing has saved my back! I originally got this for my husband to help him carry our toddler. I can set her on my hip so it’s always been easier for me. I figured this would give him the same benefit. I was worried about fit, but it works on both of us (I’m a women’s medium, and he’s a men’s extra large). He likes it and has used it a couple time. However, I started using it to go to the zoo (we have a family membership) and it is incredible! I can take our single stroller for our youngest who sleeps the whole time anyways, and then my toddler can walk or ride on my hip throughout the zoo. I literally walked her through the entire zoo today (she decided she “couldn’t” walk on her own). And while my back is still sore, my arms didn’t fall off! This offers a comfortable, safe seat for your kid and saves your muscles. So worth it. The zippered pocket is also super handy. I always tuck my keys in it so I don’t lose them.

I absolutely love this product. I am currently on a trip around Europe with my son who is 11M (24lbs) and it has been the best investment. It is versatile if you want the child facing in, out, or on your hip. I love that it is easily accessible to get your child on and off. We have a traditional baby carrier but left it at home since it was a bit bulkier and it takes longer to get the child in and out. I can comfortably carry him and then if he sees a duck he wants to chase, I can throw him right down with ease. All of the weight is distributed to my hips which feels natural as a woman. (My husband doesn’t find it as comfortable.) The pockets are also good for your phone, keys and extra pacifiers.Your arms will thank you!

Love this carrier. Being plus sized i was concerned about the fit but it works for both my husband and myself. The carrier is strong and can easily support my 25lb toddler. Padding is sufficient while still being stable. I love the extra pockets and holders in the design as I can easily keep my phone or cards in reach. I also love that I can easily adjust the carrier to ensure a safe fit every time. Glad I didn't waste my time and money on the brand name version, I have my doubts it could perform better.

I liked this product, it was well made, easy to use and comfortable to wear. HOWEVER- I don't think it's worth it. I really saw myself using this more and I've probably used it 1-2 times. The idea is great, but just not practical? I am glad I bought this one over the name brand. I will maybe try to use it more if I have another, but I don't ever catch myself wishing I used this when I didn't have it on me.

Perfect to carry around my extremely needy cat 😂

My baby is huge. Not just weight but he’s >99th percentile for length, too. He’s too long for me to hold with one arm, and he’s so heavy! He still needs his back supported when sitting, so I can’t just hold him upright on my hip with one arm; he needs his bum and back supported. This helps me to hold him with one hand without killing my back or cutting off circulation in his leg (if you’ve been there you’d understand).I’m not rating this on any other feature because I don’t use it to hold anything other than my baby.

Great for traveling, doing house chores, errands, etc. with a little one on your hip. Very comfortable and easy to use. Pockets everywhere! Sturdy and I don't feel any weight on my hips or lower back as long as it is placed right. Only downside is there's no strap to hold baby on - however, I always held my daughter whenever I used this so I wasn't too concerned. Also, I have used many times when she has fallen asleep while we are out and about and I don't have somewhere to lay her down.

I don’t know if it’s because of my height (5’0ft), or my back pain issues, but carrying my one year old that’s 23pounds for more than 10 minutes really starts to hurt all my lower back. And it sags down too. I even make sure it’s super tight and it fails. I can’t complain to much it works really good when I need to go do a quick shop at the store but other than that it’s not my way to go for like the mall, zoo, etc..
