About Hippychick
Hippychick is a UK baby brand that has been creating thoughtfully designed parenting products since 1999. The Hipseat was developed in response to a real parenting need - a simple, comfortable way to carry babies on the hip without back pain. With thousands of five-star reviews from parents worldwide and endorsement from health professionals, the Hippychick Hipseat has become a trusted staple for families across Australia and beyond.
A hipseat carrier is a padded waistband with a firm shelf that a parent wears around their waist, providing a supported seat for baby to sit on at hip height. Unlike traditional baby carriers or wraps, a hipseat allows you to carry your baby or toddler naturally on your hip - the way most parents instinctively hold their child - while the padded shelf takes the strain off your arms and distributes the weight through your hips rather than your back and shoulders.
The Hippychick Hipseat is suitable for babies and toddlers aged 6 months to approximately 3 years, or weighing between 6kg and 20kg. It is designed for the stage when baby can sit independently but still needs to be carried regularly - making it ideal for the busy toddler years when little legs get tired quickly.
The Hippychick Hipseat is designed to support children weighing between 6kg and 20kg - covering most babies and toddlers from 6 months through to approximately 3 years. The padded foam shelf and ergonomic waistband work together to distribute this weight through the wearer's hips, significantly reducing the strain that comes from carrying a growing toddler on one arm.
Yes - the Hippychick Hipseat is a fantastic travel companion. Its compact, lightweight design means it packs easily into a nappy bag or hand luggage, and it is particularly useful at airports, theme parks and other locations where a pram or stroller is impractical. The machine-washable construction also makes it easy to keep clean on the go. It is a popular choice for travelling families with toddlers.
A traditional baby carrier (wrap, ring sling or structured carrier) holds baby close to the wearer's body, facing in or out. A hipseat like the Hippychick is a waistband with a padded shelf for baby to sit on at hip height, with the parent's arm providing a light steadying hold. Hipseats are typically faster to put on, easier to use for quick up-and-down carries, and more suitable for older, heavier toddlers. Many parents use both - a carrier for longer carries with younger babies, and a hipseat for the toddler years when quick carries are needed throughout the day.
