Hip Carriers
A baby hip carrier keeps baby close by your side, while keeping your hands and arms free.
Many parents feel comfortable with a hip carrier because it holds the child against their hip – a position naturally used to hold a child. Many hip carriers feature straps that are worn over the opposite shoulder to help better distribute baby’s weight and alleviate some of the pressure from the side that baby is resting against.

Hip Carriers
Unless, the hip carrier has a proper head support, it is not recommended for use with an infant whom is not able to adequately support their head or neck themselves. It is recommended for use after ... baby has developed proper head and neck control (usually at about 5 – 6 months). As such, these are commonly used for older babies and toddlers, and are a great alternative for a baby who has now outgrown their front carrier. You will find that the weight capacity of many hip carriers will exceed that of other traditional baby carriers. Some will support children up to 3 or 4 years of age, but the maximum weight capacity will vary based on model and manufacturer, so it is best to check each product on an individual basis.
Many parents find that it is easier to do household chores and work when baby is stationed at their side as opposed to their front. As one of the more traditional child carriers, there are many brands, such as: Playtex, Quinny, Infantino and Ellaroo that have enhanced the development of the baby hip carrier.
