2-in-1 Hip Seat Baby Carrier

The seat itself is great for my 15 month old and I can feel the difference in my lower back after a day out. The shoulder straps are a bit longer than I need even on their tightest setting, so there's some excess webbing flapping about. Still use it most days despite that.

My daughter went through a phase of wanting to be held constantly and this carrier saved my sanity during it. The structured seat means she's properly supported rather than just hanging off my hip awkwardly. She's 19 months now and still happily goes in it most days.

Ordered this after my arms were aching constantly from carrying my 12 month old round the house. The difference from day one was noticeable and she settles into the seat without any fuss. Would happily buy another colour as a spare.

Between the zip pocket on the front and the two side pockets I've basically stopped carrying a separate changing bag for short outings. Nappies, wipes and a spare dummy all fit in easily. My 10 month old barely notices the extra weight isn't on my shoulder.

My son is a sturdy 3 year old close to the upper weight range and I was doubtful it would hold up, but the seat hasn't sagged or stretched at all. The waistband still fastens securely even with him at that size. Would recommend for bigger toddlers too.

She's 2 now and will point at the seat and ask to get up, which says a lot more than anything I could write. The seafoam green colour was a nice change from the usual grey and black options, though the hood doesn't quite cover her face in the pram-facing position. Easy to wipe clean after she's had a snack in it too.

Didn't think I'd use the full hands free mode much but ended up wearing it for a whole hiking trail with my 21 month old asleep against me. Padded straps didn't dig in even after a couple of hours. Really impressed given how compact it packs down.

Mornings are chaos with a toddler who wants to be carried and a baby in the pram at the same time. This lets me manage my 16 month old on my hip while still pushing the pram with my other hand. Genuinely makes the morning routine bearable.

Everything else about it has been great for the last two months but the side pockets are a touch too small for a full sized bottle, only really fits a small one. The seat support itself is excellent though and my 13 month old is always content in it.

My son is quite petite for 15 months and I worried he'd swim in it, but the waistband and straps both adjust down enough that he sits snugly. The hood has been useful for shading him on sunny walks. Pleased we gave this a try.

My daughter wants picking up the second she's bored of the swings and my arms used to be done for by bedtime. The seat takes nearly all of that weight now, though the buckle is stiff enough that I need both hands to clip it the first time each outing. She's 14 months and settles against me happily once it's on.

Wasn't sure what to expect but the zips, poppers and stitching all feel properly finished rather than cheap. My 8 month old is on the smaller side and the seat still supports her well. The mesh lining keeps her from overheating on warmer days too.

We're big on day trips and this has made a huge difference when my son gets tired of walking halfway round. Quick to get him up on the seat without digging through a bag for a separate carrier. He's 2 and a half and still fits comfortably.

We share carrying duties and most carriers we tried before only really fit one of us properly. This one adjusts easily enough between my waist and my husband's without having to start from scratch each time. Our 12 month old doesn't seem to mind who's wearing it.

Like that I can use just the seat for picking my daughter up quickly then clip the straps on for a longer carry without needing a separate product. She's 17 months and happy in either mode. Makes the school run and the long weekend walks equally manageable.

Went for the blush pink and was worried it would fade or mark easily given how light it is. Spot cleaned it a few times now with just a damp cloth and mild soap and it still looks like new. Would happily buy the same colour again.

With a toddler in one arm you need the other hand free constantly, for doors, for the dog, for answering the phone. This carrier gives me that back properly. My 19 month old settles into the seat within seconds now he's used to it.

Compared this against a couple of pricier carriers in the shops and honestly can't see what we'd be missing out on. The seat is just as structured and the straps just as padded. My 16 month old has no idea it wasn't the expensive one.

We have twins and bought two of these for our nanny to use with each of them individually. She says the structured seat is far comfier for her than carrying either of them in her arms for the long stretches. Sturdy enough for daily nursery runs too.

Everything about the design is great, especially the built in pockets for my phone and the baby wipes. I'm on the larger side and the waistband is right at its limit for me so I'd like a bit more room to adjust. Still use it most days regardless.

Bought this for my parents who look after my daughter twice a week. My mum isn't the strongest and says the hip seat takes the strain off completely when she's doing the school pickup. Simple enough for her to adjust without any help from me.

I've had ongoing lower back issues since my pregnancy and carrying my 13 month old in my arms was becoming unbearable. This spreads the weight around my waist properly and I can manage a whole walk to the park without my back complaining. Genuinely grateful for this one.

No complaints so far after six weeks of near daily use. My son is 15 months and seems genuinely comfortable in it, doesn't fuss to get down like he does with some carriers. The denim blue colour has held up well and doesn't look worn.

Took this on holiday instead of the pushchair and it was so much easier through airport security. Folds down small enough to fit in hand luggage with room to spare. My 2 year old napped against me in the full carrier mode on the flight home.

The carrier itself seems well made but the box I received had the waistband stitched slightly off so it never quite sat flat against my back. Customer service sorted a replacement but it took a while to get there. Would still consider buying again given the actual design is solid.

Had a different carrier for my first and this one is a different league. My 9 month old sits so much more securely on the structured seat and I'm not constantly readjusting her like I used to. The two part fastening gives me real peace of mind.

Expected something a bit flimsier for the price but the stitching and zips feel proper quality. We've had it three months now with daily use and it still looks new. My daughter is right at the top of the weight range and it still feels solid.

My sister just had her second baby and was struggling to carry the toddler while holding the newborn, so I got her this. She says the wide waistband takes the pressure off her hips far better than just carrying in her arms. Looks smart in the charcoal grey too.

Fitted the shoulder straps for a big supermarket shop with my 20 month old and had both hands completely free to push the trolley. He fell asleep against my chest halfway round. The detachable hood kept the sun off him nicely too.

I use this constantly just for the fifty times a day I need to pick my 10 month old up off the floor. Don't bother with the full straps for that, just the seat on its own does the job. Machine washable label inside is handy for when it inevitably gets grubby.

The seat itself is excellent and my toddler is much happier on my hip than hanging off my arm. Took us a couple of goes to get the waistband tight enough without it slipping, which is why it's four rather than five stars. Once set up properly though it works a treat.
