My 25 lb 2.5 year old toddler broke his leg and was in a cast for a month, so I ordered this and another hip carrier (Beco in grey) to try out. I am 5’2” and weigh 108lb. We tried the Safotad first and my son found it very comfy and it supported his weight great for me. I had to tighten the strap about as far as it can go (on both models), so a lot of extra strap was hanging down that I tucked in to one of the pockets, but it felt great. There is lots of room for someone much larger. Then we tried the Beco brand. I liked the look of the design and the grey color better, and the phone pocket was in a better position for me (with my son on my right hip, for the Safotad I use the somewhat rounded bottle pocket in front of me for my phone and keys for easy access) but immediately my son complained that he didn’t like it. He was adamant that it was uncomfortable. I pressed on the seat area and could really feel the bar inside, which was right under the back of his butt. The bar that makes the Beco carrier uniquely able to collapse- which is a great concept the other carriers don’t have- unfortunately was too uncomfortable for my son. I could totally understand why he didn’t like it. The layer of plastic sheet over the bar is too thin to not have a child feel the hard bar under them, creating an uneven feeling. Also, I think the grippy silicone dots weren’t the most comfortable, either. The Safotad has a smooth seat surface (maybe for young babies the grips of the Beco are better but my 2.5 year old was snug against me in the Safotad and not going to slip off. He didn’t like the uneven feel of the Beco grippy dots, and I did read another review where they said the same thing of their child). When he got back on the Safotad I was worried he would now be put off to a hip carrier altogether after disliking the Beco, but he was happy and said it was cozy. The Safotad felt a little more comfortable for me as well vs. this Beco, and carries a half pound or one pound more of weight according to the specs. It’s been great for his grandmother to use to carry him up and down her stairs for nap when she watches him one day a week at her house. I’ve had the Safotad for a month now and it’s been really convenient. My son is very active, even with the cast, and we hike a lot. So having the Safotad has been a great thing to toss in my backpack on a hike for when he needs a break but I also need some extra support. It feels like it makes him weigh half as much as he does. And it’s a cozy way to carry him, and let him still be involved when I was cooking simple things that I could do sort of one-armed. He just got the cast off a week ago and needs a few weeks to regain strength and start walking normally again, so it’s still very handy. When we have a second baby I might enjoy using the Safotad hip carrier at times when they are younger. I don’t see it replacing a Bjorn or sling wrap, but maybe at a park or fair this would be a nice option to have when a baby is older and likes to alternate crawling and being up and down. It’s great for a toddler under 30lbs who still likes to be (or needs to be, as in our case) carried a lot. This is a great price, same as the Beco, and feels comfy for the kiddos and for me personally. My husband could certainly use it too if he wanted to (but he is super strong and just carries my son without hardship) at 5’10” and 150lb. And it could definitely fit someone bigger. The big zipper pocket compartment is convenient. Really like this overall, a VERY well-spent $30!

This is a great product with plenty of storage space, making it super convenient for parents on the go. The material feels high-quality and durable, and it wraps securely around your hips. It's also adjustable, ensuring a comfortable and snug fit for different body types.The carrier provides excellent support for the baby's weight, distributing it evenly to reduce strain on your back and hips. It's easy to use and perfect for both short trips and longer outings. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable hip carrier!
