Alta Hip Seat – For Life’s Ups and Downs

Exploring as Simple as 1-2-3

What is a hip seat carrier?

As the name suggests, a hip seat carrier is a type of carrier which allows you to hold your toddler comfortably on either side of your body in the hip carry position. Most baby wraps and soft-structured carriers feature three or more different carrying positions, one of those being the hip carry. Different parents have found this to be handy during the growing, heavier toddler days when your child is toddling about and still wants to be held and taken with you everywhere.

Most hip seat carriers have a removable panel that attaches to the hip seat’s waistband. Without the panel, you can position the hip seat on either side of your waist where it’s most comfortable for you. With the back panel, you can go hands-free with your child. Hip seat carriers are not a recommended newborn carrier, but they can be used for infants and toddlers from about 6 months to 3 years old, depending on the specific carrier and its weight limit.

AGES AND STAGES

The Alta Hip Seat is a carrier we love to recommend to families who are choosing the Ages and Stages journey for their babywearing adventures. What’s Ages and Stages?

The ages and stages of baby’s development can help parents understand when baby is ready for certain activities, including which positions work best in a baby carrier, as well as which baby carrier is best for baby’s age and stage of development. To follow the Ages & Stages path for babywearing, we recommend the Aura Baby Wrap or the Embrace Baby Carrier for the tender and cozy first three months, then the 360 Baby Carrier or Omni Carriers once baby is ready to shift focus from parent to world and explore. And finally, the Alta Hip Seat.
