The Tushbaby Hip Carrier is a structured hip seat carrier built to support newborns through 36 months, up to 45 pounds, shifting a child's weight to ease pressure on the wearer's back, shoulders, and arms. It fits a 23 to 44 inch waist and offers four carry positions, making it adaptable from feeding support in early infancy to forward-facing rides as a child grows. Storage pockets and a hideable bottle holder let it double as an on-the-go bag.
The carrier is made with OEKO-TEX certified fabric and built with a firm, structured seat, reinforced stitching, and reinforced seams intended to hold up through daily wear without sagging or losing shape. It uses heavy-duty two-way YKK zippers and high-grade buckles with safety locks, along with a padded lumbar waistband for added comfort. It has been approved by global safety standards and verified through SGS testing. Depending on the style, the carrier is made of either 100% polyurethane or 100% polyester; the polyurethane styles should be wiped clean with a damp cloth rather than machine washed. It weighs under 1 pound and rolls up compactly for storage in a diaper bag, stroller basket, or carry-on.
A caregiver should keep one arm around the child at all times while using the carrier, since it is not a hands-free design on its own (a separate hands-free attachment is sold apart from this listing). It carries a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase on U.S. orders.

How to Wear Your Tushbaby Hip Carrier
Support your baby’s weight—and your back—by wrapping the Tushbaby high and tight above your natural waist.
I was kinda hesitant to buy the Tushbaby hip carrier, because we already had two separate traditional carriers (one for my husband and one for myself/grandma to use). But my 20.5lbs 6 month old started becoming extra clingy and did not want to be put down alone. He is just too curious about everything we're doing and wants to be a part of the fun. But since he's gotten much heavier in the past couple months, I was considering this hip carrier. I polled my friends on social media and I got 7 different fellow parent friends reaching out and saying that this carrier is a must. One mom-friend said "Just f***ing do it" lol! So, I purchased the black & gold fabric one and it's been such a help! I no longer have the upper back and shoulder pain that I would have, after a day of carrying my baby around for hours. My mother, who helps us out with our son during the week, also loves it and uses it multiple times a day to do the daily house tours and afternoon walks. It's just such a great tool! Super easy to put on and take off and the seat is pretty sturdy, so even with my squirmy, kicky baby, I'm not too worried. I will say though, it is definitely not hands-free. I still use quite a bit of effort to make sure he's not launching himself off the seat because he's so active right now, but still about 75% less strength and effort than just holding baby without anything. And so much easier than putting him in the carrier, plus baby gets to sit toward you or away from you and watch all the action, without having to undo the carrier straps and move his direction. All in all, in the words of my aforementioned friend, just flipping do it!!!

Before having a baby, I had seen some people use the Tush baby but didn't understand how it could be useful when you still had to hold them. Boy, was I wrong! My baby sometimes just wanted to be held even if it was for a quick time. The Tush baby is sooo useful for running quick errands in a store and not having to set up a stroller! It's useful for if I want to do things around the house or take a quick walk outside and not lug the big stroller around with me. It does drag down a big from my baby's weight but I feel that's normal [it just doesn't show in the marketing pictures]. It definitely helps my back and I have already received comments on it from seasoned mothers wishing they had it when their babies were young. I will always recommend this as it's been so quick to put on and useful!!

This carrier is helpful for carrying my 18-month old while getting things done around the house in the evening. However, I’m not sure if it’s due to my smaller frame (5’2”, XS), but even when I tighten it as much as possible, the belt tends to slip downward and press into my lower abdomen when I’m carrying my baby, who weighs only 10. 5 kg. I’d wear it for a maximum of about 30 minutes.

To be quite honest, it’s not that comfortable to wear for more than like 30 minutes or so. Maybe that’s just me! My daughter likes it okay but prefers her carriers to it. I do love that they have an extension for the plus size women but I feel like I can never get it to be as tight as I want it to be (yes, I do all the things I’m supposed to!). I also, of course, love that I can put all my essentials in it and don’t have to carry a purse or anything.
