The hip carrier
One model, two fabrics. A padded shelf on a waistband, worn high and tight above the hips, with the baby sitting rather than hanging.
A hip seat solves a specific problem. A baby who wants to be held but not wrapped, an arm that has gone numb, a parent who needs one hand free at the school gate. It is not a wrap and it is not a soft structured carrier, and it will not put a newborn to sleep against your chest.
The honest limit comes from the owners rather than from us. Past twenty pounds the belt has to be pulled properly tight or the weight moves to your lower back, and long outings start to tell. For short carries and quick ups and downs it is the fastest thing in the house to put on.
Before you choose
What a bouncer is actually for, and what it is not
Every baby needs somewhere to be that is not your arms. The seat you choose decides how long that somewhere lasts.

It will happen on the first day. A reclined seat and a full stomach put a baby out in four minutes. The question is what happens in the next four.
