Everything You Need to Know
What makes the HipHold different from regular baby carriers?
The HipHold is a waist-worn hip seat carrier — meaning it takes all the weight off your arms and distributes it across your hips instead. Unlike traditional carriers that strap to your chest and shoulders, the HipHold's wide padded seat platform lets baby sit naturally in an ergonomic M-position while you stay comfortable. Perfect for quick pick-ups, errands, and extended carrying without back or arm strain.
What age and weight is it suitable for?
The HipHold Carrier is suitable for babies and toddlers from approximately 6 months to 3 years old, supporting up to 20 kg. The adjustable snap collar and wide seat platform comfortably accommodate growing babies. Always ensure your baby has good head and neck control before use.
How do I wear and adjust it?
Simply wrap the HipHold around your waist and fasten the buckle clasp at the front. The waist belt adjusts to fit waist sizes from 60 cm to 122 cm. Position the padded seat platform on your hip, sit baby on the seat, and support them with one arm while you go about your day. It takes less than 30 seconds to put on!
What pockets and storage does it have?
The HipHold features three convenient storage options: a large diagonal zip pocket across the front body for your phone, keys, or wallet; a smaller square zip pocket on the left side for cards or a dummy; and a side mesh bottle holder to keep baby's bottle or sippy cup within easy reach at all times — completely hands-free.
How do I clean it?
The HipHold is designed for real life — spills and all! The fabric is easy to wipe down with a damp cloth for quick clean-ups. For a deeper clean, hand wash with mild detergent and allow to air dry. Do not tumble dry or iron the padded seat platform.
What colours are available?
The HipHold Carrier is available in 5 colours: Grey, Black, Blue, Beige/Oat. Each colour is carefully chosen to be stylish, gender-neutral, and easy to match with your everyday outfits. Stock is limited — check the product page for current availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HipHold safe for my baby?
Yes! The HipHold is designed with baby's safety and comfort as the top priority. The wide padded seat platform supports baby in a natural ergonomic M-position — knees higher than bottom — which is recommended by paediatric hip specialists for healthy hip development. The secure waist belt keeps the carrier firmly in place, and the platform provides a stable, comfortable seat. Always keep one hand on your baby, especially when bending or moving quickly.
Can I use it from newborn age?
The HipHold Hip Seat Carrier is recommended for babies from 6 months old who have developed sufficient head and neck control to sit supported. It is not suitable for newborns or young babies who cannot hold their head up independently. For babies under 6 months, we recommend a full wrap or structured carrier that provides full head and body support.
Will it fit me if I have a bigger waist size?
Absolutely! The HipHold's waist belt is fully adjustable and fits waist sizes from 60 cm up to 122 cm (approximately 48 inches). This makes it suitable for most body types and also means both parents or caregivers can share the same carrier by simply readjusting the belt.
Can dad or grandma use it too?
Yes — and that's one of the best things about the HipHold! Because it adjusts from 60 cm to 122 cm, it's easy for any caregiver to use. Dad, grandma, grandpa, or even an au pair can adjust it to their size in seconds. One carrier, the whole village!
How long can I carry my baby in it?
The HipHold is designed for comfortable extended carrying. Most parents use it for 30 minutes to a few hours at a time depending on their baby's weight and their own comfort. Because the weight is distributed across your hips rather than your arms and shoulders, you'll find you can carry for much longer than with traditional carriers or in-arms carrying.
