I absolutely love how much
I absolutely love how much simpler this makes my life! My sweet chunky boy loves it, too! It’s super comfy for me & baby! It’s almost too easy to take the support off & just hip carry, as well! I’ve recommended it to all my mom friends!

The best!
I was very hesitant on buying this carrier, but I’m so glad I bought it. It’s truly a game changer. My baby sits perfectly on the seat, super comfortable for babies. I’ve tried many carriers and this one is my favorite, seriously! #notapaidreview

My baby feels comfortable and happy
I wasn't really into hip seat carrier at first but it makes a BIG difference! I got the regular carrier and the weight pressure was put on baby's thighs, the hip seat solves that problem! He looks so comfy and happy when we use this carrier. Also the hip seat helps to balance out the weight pressure on my shoulders, making both mom and baby feel comfortable. I also love the breathable mesh cushion material, very well made. Highly recommended!

Super convenient and works
My baby is a big boy at 25 lbs and my shoulders and neck were hurting so much that I made the decision to buy this. So far it’s has been a huge relief, almost no more pain (plus PT), and he seems to like it as well! It’s comfortable, easy to take on and off, and looks easy to wash. Highly recommend.

Better options-skip
The Alta was great for having a toddler (carry in the back) and a baby, but the zipper to attach the top kept slipping off while wearing it! We were at Disney world when this happened. We love the regular carrier and would recommend the Tushbaby system for a hip seat.

I love this hip carrier
I love this hip carrier compared to the top competitor. It may seem a bit bigger/clunkier than tushbaby but I felt it supported the baby mush more with its solid seat compared to just having a shelf seat. The additional attachment that comes with it is also superior as it has a head cover and is the only thing that can have my baby fall asleep easily on the go. I felt no strain or pressure points while wearing this for long periods of time. We traveled with it and has been my saving grace with keeping up with my toddler while holding my baby.

I wish they have more
I wish they have more pockets on the belt. Also, it would be nice to have Velcro on the belt to secure better. i don't like Extra Belt part is hanging.

Excellent product! We tried so
Excellent product! We tried so many carriers and none of them fit comfortably, this carrier is amazing. The only thing is if you have the top part of the carrier and your baby has thick thighs (like mine) you have to use it while baby has a pant or shorts because it can be tight on the baby and leave marks - other than that - great product!

Many MANY design flaws
I really wanted to like this carrier but I just can’t. The storage appears to be great but the side pocket is so small, it hardly closes with my phone in it and digs at my side. The pocket in the seat isn’t even accessible if you have a child in the carrier, they must be taken out in order to access it due to the zipper placement. In the video it shows the woman sliding the arm straps over and THEN clipping the back, well let me tell you that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE clipping that back strap with a baby in front. Super unrealistic. And the waist belt buckle is more setback and hidden under fabric making it difficult to actually clip the buckle. Fabric is constantly getting in the way. The head cover in the top front pocket falls out and there’s nothing to keep it in the pocket so be prepared to push it back in any time you put your baby on. I have a long baby and her head barely gets past the top of the carrier so her face is practically buried in. So many design flaws it’s just a waist

10/10 recommend! I used a wrap to baby wear prior to getting this carrier, and it caused me a lot of shoulder pain. This carrier evenly distributes the weight between my shoulders and my hips so I can baby wear for much longer periods of time much more comfortably. Absolutely LOVE this carrier!

Perfect for our baby
This carrier helps out tremendously as I have an active 3 year old and can carry the baby while helping with them. I definitely recommend.

My new favorite
This ended up being the best baby must have to add to my list. The weight it takes off of my back is tremendous and baby is extremely comfortable while being in there this thing is also perfect while traveling it's easy to use through the airport. It's nice to use when you're out of the state. I absolutely love this thing and so much cheaper than the tush baby.

Not comfortable
I'm petite and the bottom of the hip seat digs into my hips and it is really uncomfortable. I have watched videos and read directions on how to put it on properly, but it's not really a once size fits all situation. For the price point, I am really disappointed and expected more out of it. It's on a shelf collecting dust now.

Back saver!!
I have owned approximately 324 baby carriers over 6 years with 3 babies. The reason for so many is because my back hurts terribly after a short while. This is the only one I could literally wear all day and have no issues. My son is currently 20lbs for reference. Absolutely worth the cost

Perfect for Hip Dysplasia
This carrier worked perfectly for my daughter while she was in a SpICA cast and then a Rhino brace for 3 months.

Watse of money
Wanted to love this but I hate it and can’t return it anymore so just lost money the part of the legs is too tight for a chunky baby, my baby legs turn red and can’t loosen up it’s uncomfortable to get it one straps are to tight to adjust. My baby is 9 month old and weights 21 pounds I had to put a strap so his poor legs don’t get hurt
