Belts with seat attached

[Unity]

I have a large toddler and a new born and wondered if those belts that have a sort of ledge, like a solid bum bag, are any good, do they really help in carrying a child and taking some of the strain off your back?

It's called a hippychick, and I love it! Really helps take the strain off - it's my arm where I notice it most.

Oh great, thank you. Where did you get yours from?

loads od mums swaer by the hippychick at my charges school.... they look great

next time i work with a baby i'll definitely get myself one to save my back..... guess ill be carrying babies around for a while of my life yet!

I think I got mine from Ebay. Definitely worth trying to get one secondhand, as they're quite expensive new.

I was persuaded by using them at National Trust properties where they don't let you take pushchairs or backpacks round, but will lend you a hip carrier for free.

I haven't finished with mine yet (baby no3 on the way!), but you might find a redundant one through MN's wanted section.

Superb, many thanks.

Oh and congratulaions on your pregnancy.

Thanks. Although my overriding feeling at the moment is 'I am so not doing this again!' LOL
