9 Ways to Carry Your Baby
Parenting made easier
The last carrier you'll ever need
HIP SEAT ONLY
DOUBLE SHOULDER STRAP
SINGLE SHOULDER STRAP
HIPSTER™ PLUS adapts as your baby grows
It’s the only carrier you’ll ever need, from the day you leave the hospital to the first morning of preschool
- NEWBORN Our infant insert keeps baby wrapped up in a plush cocoon, putting your baby right back into the soothing fetal position. And the 3D hip seat supports your arms during the long hours of carrying and nursing your baby in the early days.
- 3-6 MONTHS As soon as your baby has a strong neck and head control, use the 3D hip seat with the double shoulder strap to carry your baby facing in. This is when your baby is just becoming aware of who you are and wants to be close to you as much as possible.
- 6-12 MONTHS Your baby is becoming more curious about the world around you every day. Growing babies love to see things from your perspective, up high and in-person. Now’s the time to try the forward-facing position.
- 8 MONTHS – 3 YEARS The back-carry position is a great option for heavier kids on long trips or for hiking outdoors. Your HIPSTER ™ PLUS goes wherever a stroller can’t.
Here’s what the HIPSTER tribe has to say about it
I use the Hipster plus indoors and outdoors but most when I am out and about with the double shoulder strap. My baby girl likes to sit facing forward and loves to dangle her legs because she has happy feet. It goes everywhere me and the kiddies go. However, when I do use it indoor I prefer the hip seat for my youngest. Just makes it easier because she’ll want to be carried for 10 min then go down and play for another 10 and vice versa.

I like the supporting hip seat and face forward option. It makes things much more interesting for toddlers. Also, the pouch under the built-in seat is practical. HIPSTER™ PLUS is easy to use. Both mom and dad can use it.
Amp O’Connor, mom to 3-year-old Gemma
When the boys were little, I would use my Hipster around the house most often. I would need my hands for cooking, or doing other chores and at least one baby needed to be held at all times. I would use the base and the side shoulder strap. As they have grown more independent, we have used our Hipsters more on outings, wearing them on our backs. We keep them in the car and often end up using them when we are out shopping.

A baby carrier has never been so easy to put on
HIP SEAT ONLY
How to use the HIPSTER™ PLUS 3D hip seat base?
Simple baby onboarding. Nothing is easier for picking up and putting down your baby in a flash.
DOUBLE SHOULDER STRAP
How to use the HIPSTER™ PLUS double shoulder strap?
Zip the standard double shoulder strap to the seat base and all the joys of being hands-free are yours. Just like that!
SINGLE SHOULDER STRAP
How to use the HIPSTER™ PLUS single shoulder attachment?
Our optional single shoulder attachment protects your back and makes hip carrying a snap. It slips right over your head—no buckling required. It’s a great option for babies who are starting to want more freedom but want to stay close to you at the same time (recommended age 5 months+).
BACK CARRY POSITION
How to use HIPSTER™ PLUS in back carry position?
Unlike other carriers, HIPSTER™ PLUS makes getting a larger child into the “backpack” position effortless. It’s a favorite for outdoor fun.
