What exactly is a hip carrier?

A hip carrier is a practical carrying aid that makes everyday life easier for parents and child. Unlike traditional slings or carriers, the focus here is on quick, easy handling. A hip carrier usually consists of a padded hip shell that is placed around the waist like a belt. The child sits safely and comfortably on it – without the entire weight resting solely on the arms and shoulders.

The big advantage: the child’s weight is distributed across the hips.

This significantly reduces the strain on your back and arms while carrying your child close to you. The hip carrier is an ideal solution, especially for short trips, on vacation, or a quick trip to the supermarket. It allows for close body contact, providing your child with a sense of security, while leaving your hands free for other tasks.

Hip carriers are especially suitable for babies and toddlers who can already sit independently . Thanks to their ergonomic shape, little ones sit in a healthy posture, while parents benefit from back-friendly support.

Whether on the go or at home – the hip carrier is a clever, flexible alternative that makes carrying more comfortable.

Advantages of a hip carrier at a glance:

• Relief for back and arms – the weight is ergonomically distributed across the hips.
• Quick & easy – set up in just a few seconds, ideal for short distances.
• Flexible in everyday life – perfect for shopping, traveling or a quick stroll.

Who is a hip carrier suitable for?

A hip carrier is the ideal solution for parents who want to carry their child close to them without placing constant strain on their back or arms. It's particularly suitable for:
