What is a hipseat?
The hip seat helps carry baby for shorter periods of time, usually around the house. It has a wide waistband with padded shelf-like seat, which baby sits on while you hold them with an arm. Instead of holding growing baby in your arms or on your hip, you can seat them in the seat with less strain on your arms and back.
Can I use the Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat with my newborn baby?
The Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat Carrier is primarily designed for babies 6 months and older, once babies have strong head and head control. However, it can also be used in recline mode to provide feeding support from the newborn phase. Since it is not a hands-free carrier, ensure your baby is securely supported in all positions by keeping at least one hand on them. If you are looking for a newborn carrier, check out our Ergobaby Embrace carrier designed specifically for newborns.
What is the maximum weight for baby to be carried in the Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat baby carrier?
The Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat Carrier is primarily designed for babies 6 months and older, once babies have strong head and head control. However, it can also be used in recline mode to provide feeding support from the newborn phase. Since it is not a hands-free carrier, ensure your baby is securely supported in all positions by keeping at least one hand on them. If you are looking for a newborn carrier, check out our Ergobaby Embrace carrier designed specifically for newborns.
What is the length of the waistband?
The waistband can be adjusted from 22"-55" (65cm-140cm). Please note that wearers should secure the waistband above the hip.
What are the carrying positions?
Lift Hip Seat can be used in 4 positions- recline mode for feeding, inward-facing front carry, outward-facing front carry, and hip carry. Since it is not a hands-free carrier, ensure your baby is securely supported in all positions by keeping at least one hand on them.
How old should baby be in order to carry them in each carry position?
Once your baby reaches around 6 months (min. 17 lbs / 7.7 kg) and has developed strong head and neck control, you can carry the baby in inward-facing position, outward-facing position, and hip carry positions. Additionally, you can use the recline mode for feeding support from the newborn phase onwards.
When is baby ready to face out?
Every baby develops differently. You can start wearing your baby facing out once your baby demonstrates strong head and neck control and weighs 17 lbs / 7.7 kg,. This is usually around 6 months. Do not use a pillow to prop baby up. If baby gets sleepy or shows signs of overstimulation, turn baby around to face you.
Can I breastfeed with the Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat Carrier? How does that work?
Yes, as with all Ergobaby Carriers you can breastfeed while on the go. This can be done in the recline mode and by supporting baby with your arm as you breastfeed or bottle feed. For safety, stay seated when nursing in a carrier. Always stay vigilant while baby is nursing, and reposition after feeding, so baby’s face is not pressed against your body.
How do I put on the waistband with the buckle and the loops?
The waistband of the Lift Hip Seat is designed with comfort and ease in mind. While the wide waistband provides support for wearer's back, the buckle and belt loops allow for a quick and quiet way to put on and take off the hip seat. To put it on, thread the buckle to the belt loop that fits wearer's waist, wrap the waistband around the waist, and then thread the buckle through the safety elastic loop and buckle. For more detailed instructions and waistband measurement chart, refer to the instruction manual or the videos.
What materials is the Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat baby carrier made from?
The Lift Hip Seat Carrier is made with 100% polyester and the pocket is made with 93% recycled polyester, 7% elastane/spandex. The carrier also includes a removable foam seat that is made of EPP (expanded polypropylene). None of the materials include flame retardants.
Is the Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat baby carrier machine washable?
Yes, the Ergobaby Hip Seat baby carrier is machine washable. Make sure to remove the foam seat base and to fasten all hook and loop fasteners and buckles before washing. Use mild detergent free of bleach, perfumes, dyes, chlorine, or optical brighteners and dry flat or hang/line dry.
Is the Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat hands free?
Lift hip seat is designed for short-term carrying and requires one-hand assistance. However, if you want a hands-free carrying option, check out our Alta Hip Seat 2-in-1 Carrier, which converts from a hip seat base to a full carrier, offering hands-free carry and more positions like back carry.
Are there any certifications acknowledging the Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat carrier as ergonomic?
All Ergobaby carriers have been acknowledged by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute as "Hip Healthy" products.
Does the Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat come with the ErgoPromise Lifetime Guarantee?
Yes, as with all our baby carriers and wraps, the Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat comes with the ErgoPromise Lifetime Guarantee. If you find a manufacturing or material defect, we will replace your carrier or part at no charge. We stand by our products so you can carry your precious cargo with confidence.
Can I use a hip seat when pregnant?
Yes, you can use all of our Ergobaby baby carriers during pregnancy. Hip Seats are especially beneficial when you're reaching a point where there's limited room for front-carrying. You can opt for the hip carry position or fasten the waistband below your belly in front carry mode. However, it's important to note that during pregnancy, your body may experience increased fatigue, so pay close attention to your body's cues when babywearing.
Does the Lift Hip Seat have any storage capabilities?
Yes, the Lift Hip Seat comes with two pockets. The large, side zipper pocket can fit a phone, diaper, snacks, etc. The front mesh pocket can fit keys or baby pacifier.
Do you offer an attachment to turn the Lift Hip Seat into a hands free baby carrier?
No, we do not offer an attachment to convert the Lift Hip Seat into a hands-free carrier. However, our Alta Hip Seat 2-in-1 Carrier can be easily converted from base-only mode to a hands-free carrier by simply attaching the back panel.
