Hippychick Hip Seat In Black VGC

This is a great thing for a new mum to have in the back of the car etc. as it removes the need to use a push chair if you are just popping to the school gates etc. with other kids. Anyway see info below just to see how good it is.

The Hippychick Hipseat is a back supporting belt, with an integral padded foam shelf, developed to allow adults to carry their children naturally on their hip without the usual strains on the back. 

Specifically designed to address one of the root causes of adult back pain, the seat provides a firm shelf for the child to sit on and supports their increasingly heavy weight from underneath.  Instead of twisting the spine, the back stays straight and the child is tucked into the chest on whichever side is more comfortable for the wearer, providing comfort and security for both adult and child.

The Hipseat is made from Cordura fabric, renowned for its durability, style and comfort.  Suitable for use in any environment the Hipseat is machine washable, tough and hard wearing.

’Tried one at a National Trust house - a revelation.’  - J Milling

"I sometimes wondered what people thought of me wearing it - most people didn’t notice it at all - it’s a great design, discreet and stylish even ... and it totally transformed my experience as a mother"

N Jones

"I just wanted to write to let you know how useful "Mummy’s special seat"; which is what my daughter and I call the "hippychick hipseat" has been. I have what is suspected to be late onset FSH Muscular Dystrophy, which means I have little strength in my right arm; and I am unfortunately right handed. The hippychick seat allows me to carry my daughter, and reduce the weight I am bearing through my arm, and therefore keep any strain on my arm to a minimum. I know it was designed for people with bad backs, but it really has been a godsend for me with my condition, and allows me to have the closeness of carrying my daughter, which I would really miss if it was never possible."  S.Siva        

"My baby girl is not a small baby by any stretch of the imagination - at 6 mths she is wearing age 9-12 mths clothes, she is also long. I have tried the front strap on carriers and she is too long and too heavy for it to be practical. I have a back carrier but my baby has reflux problems so need her accessible for cleaning her up and avoiding any choking issues. The Hippychick Hipseat provided me with a way to avoid the pain of carrying a heavy baby :o) with the flexibility of being able to remove her very easily for cleaning up and emergency needs. My back feels considerably better and my shoulders are enjoying the break "
