The Baby Hip Seat Is Better For You Than Other Carriers

By Mona Moody


Many parents have found that the baby hip seat is not only better for them but is also better for their child. The design of the seat ensures that the infant sits with his legs spread around your hip, which allows the bones to grow naturally. Also, it takes the weight off of the back and spine, then other muscles in the hip and legs can be used to support the weight.

Infants will benefit from being carried on this carrier and may have fewer hip problems when they get older. Doctors have warned parents that their child could get hip dysplasia if they are carried in slings and wraps. They also should not be placed in hard bouncers or in jumpers as it could add to the risk of hip damage in your child.

The carrier also prevents back injury in the mother. Many mothers have complained from back pain after carrying their child around in bulky carriers and slings. The weight of the child causes pressure on the spine and can lead to serious health issues. This only gets worse as the child gets heavier and puts more weight on her spine.

Of course, the seat will not help if it is not strapped on and secured properly. It has a very simple design and it only takes a couple of steps to put it on; put it high on your waist, attach the Velcro strip, and then clasp the safety strap. It can also help to take a deep breath as you are cinching the carrier so that it will remain tight around your waist. This technique will keep your child more secure and make sure your back is stable.

It is equally vital that you remember to balance the baby on the carrier with your arm. This is an important safety consideration to keep him from falling. It also provides more security when you are in crowds of people because he will be pressed against your side. Additionally, it is a great way of bonding with your child because he is held close to your body.

You can throw the carrier into the washer if it gets dirty and it is so compact that it is easy to store. In fact, most models are around 8 by 5 inches, although a few companies make a toddler model that is a little bigger. Men and women will be equally comfortable wearing the carrier, although it will not fit properly on someone with a waist over 40 inches. Most children are not strong enough to support your child so if they are too small to carry him alone, then they should not be allowed to use this carrier either.

Hip child carriers are an affordable, wash and wear alternative in the baby carrier market. They are usually sold at around $75 but a can sometimes be found for less. You can purchase them either in an online marketplaces or retail stores and are made in many different colors.

The baby hip seat is a secure alternative to the uncomfortable large carriers. It is made to last and can be used for infants and toddlers from 6 to 36 months. It helps you prevent back pain and also provides a healthier way of carrying your baby.
