In 1999 at her kitchen table in Somerset, Julia Minchin conceived of the innovative back-saving Hipseat. As a mother of three, Julia knew only too well how much babies need to be carried against your body, and the resulting aching back. The ingenious Hipseat baby carrier solves the problem while preventing long term damage to your back, and it continues to be one of Hippchick’s bestsellers to this day. The Hippychick Hipseat, a simple, perfectly fitting, padded belt is a baby carrier that supports you and your baby naturally. Specifically designed to address one of the root causes of adult back pain, the Hipseat provides a firm shelf for the child to sit on and supports their increasingly heavy weight from underneath. Our baby carrier is renowned for its durability, style and comfort. It is tough, hardwearing and machine washable. It is perfect for carrying children between 6 months and three years old (6-20kgs). Designed to fit a waist that is 26 to 42 inches. The Hipseat extension belt is available for sizes above 20, or to go over heavily padded winter coats. There is also an optional attachable Hipseat Bag Pouch available in matching colours.
