There are many versions of front packs, slings, and backpacks on the market. How many have you tried ?

Most front packs carry your child’s weight hanging from your upper back. Women tolerate this for the first 15 pounds, and then their back is aching ! If you’ve tried carrying a 15 pound plus child in front of you, you’ll know it pulls on your back and it’s real hard to see where you are walking. With your child over at your side, you can have your dominant hand free to do things.

Slings are terrific for nursing and carrying children of all ages, but with these your child’s weight hangs from one shoulder.

Backpacks have become the next step carrier for the child who supports their own head. These can be a little bulky for child wearing around the house and for quick errands into the store.

What makes the Hip Hammock unique ?

The Hip Hammock is a nice wide seat that will accommodate the bigger child and hold them at your side, naturally. Women no longer have to throw their hip and back out of alignment to hold their child. The Hip Hammock holds your child at your hip, safely up against you. Men, the Hip Hammock creates a hip for you !

You’ll love the Hip Hammock because just over ½ of your child’s weight is at your waist and hip. Now you can carry your child a little easier until they are two and three.  New unit #53064 replaces old stock #53002 standard Black. New # 53071 replaces old stock #53019.
