Hippychick Hip Seat

Fab product especially for keen to walk toddlers who just want the occasional rest.

Easy to use but would be easier still if it could be clipped up for both left and right handed use without spinning it around your waist.

A bit pricey for what it is but for the amount we have used it it has proved good value and still looks brand new.

I don't think I have fully 'utilise' its potential yet as my baby is only a year old. So she is a wee bit 'short' to sit on the hipseat.

As other reviewers commented, you still need a hand to wrap around the child's waist. I have used this and in combine with my babasling (great combination).

We were visiting a castle which we know pushchair is not allowed in. My daughter was 10 months old, just at the age that wants to be carried all the time, can't walk yet and drifts off to sleep when she is tired. I used the sling to carry her in my front and with the hipseat sitting much higher (above waist as the baby loves seeing over my shoulder). The combination of these two allow me to carry the baby for 3 hours before I feel the strain of her weight and with my hands free!

She didn't complain and quite happily being carry for such a long period of time!

I ll definitely look forward using this when she is older. But I have to agree this seat is really bulky, not something I would 'carry' in my handbag. I usually leave this in the car boot as my 'emergency' sling when I can't use my buggy!

Didn't use this much - rode up on my hip when child not on it, and sagged when he was. Not a good buy for me.

Too bulky and not as helpful as I'd expect!

Our toddler is a bumshuffler but not content to be strapped into her highchair for long periods so end up carrying her a lot.Really like this product as it takes the weight off, saves my back and for quick hops out , means we can avoid taking the pushchair. Most importantly my child likes it, she enjoys the contact and likes having the visibility from being higher up. Would recommend to all parents of older children who are reluctant walkers - makes life a lot easier all round!
