HippyChick Hip Seat Belt

Endorsed by osteopaths, physiotherapists and health centres, the hip seat redistributes the weight of the child away from the upper back, shoulders and arms, spreading it evenly around the waist

HippyChick Hip Seat Belt

The Hippychick Child Hip Seat has been developed to allow adults to carry their children on their hip without the usual strains on the back. Specifically designed to address one of the root causes of adult back pain, the seat provides a firm shelf for the child to sit on and supports their increasingly heavy weight from underneath.Instead of twisting the spine, the back is able to stay straight and the child is tucked into the chest on whichever side is more comfortable for the wearer.

The seat is suitable for children from 6 months old up to at least 3 years, it is feather-light, fullywashable and has pockets for accessories and valuables.

Quite a few people have commented on how comfortable and happy their child is, when they are younger, to be carried with their bottom on the seat facing out. The adult has one arm lightly around the child's waist and the child can see what is going on around them.

When sitting astride the hip seat, the child is very comfortable and his or her head is level with the adult's shoulders or chest. The child is automatically drawn to the adult's body by the angle of the seat and he or she is positioned so that they can see what is going on around them as well as being close to the adult's voice and body warmth.
