Hip Baby Carriers – What You Should Consider Before Buying
You should be aware that hip baby carriers are not for newborns and babies who cannot lift their heads yet. But if your baby is a bit older and stronger and you prefer to carry your baby on the hip than purchasing a comfortable hip carrier can be a great option. However, this type of carrier should not be used for long hikes. This is suitable only for home use and for short term carrying.
Hip It Up!
Hip baby carriers works like a sling and a strap-on infant carrier. They combine the convenience of these two types of baby carriers. A sling is adjustable while a strap-on infant carrier can be worn as a backpack and front pack. The baby hip carrier gives the convenience of both for moms and dads who are comfortable carrying their babies on their hips and who want their babies comfortable.

Baby hip carriers, like most trendy baby carriers come in assorted designs and colors. They resemble shoulder bags but with babies as precious content. The fabric used is water resistant and sturdy to distribute baby's weight on mom's and dad's hips and legs. This makes it ideal for heavier infants. For comfort, the carrier is padded with luxury foam and for extra cargo, a zippered pocket is added. This can be worn on either hip, which is a nice bonus. It is also convenient to store or transport.
Wearing Baby Hip Carriers
Unlike the sling type of baby carrier, a hip carrier designed with a seat and a strap is easier to wear. Slip the strap after you have placed baby securely on the carrier. Men prefer the front pack and backpack baby carriers but they can wear hip carriers with ease. Carried on the hip, it is also easy to check if baby's position obstructs his or her breathing.
You can wear baby hip carriers with style. But this is only secondary to baby's safety. Before using this type of carrier, carefully read the manufacturer's instructions. Also check the straps, snaps and no-pinch hooks. Adjust the strap - the baby shouldn't be to be way too low on your hip. Your hip and back shouldn't be strained with the baby's weight. You and your baby should be both comfortable with the arrangement.
The hip carrier is best used when you're standing or walking. If you have to bend, take care that you bend your knees, not with your waist. Bending from your waist can injure your back or tip over baby. Whatever movements you make or position you take up, baby should always be in upright position.
Additional Precautions
Several baby carriers have been recalled for faulty straps. Always be on the lookout for recalled brands because some of these may still be in stock in some baby stores. Here are some extra precautions for you and baby:
Avoid carriers with thin straps. Straps should be wide or these would put a strain on your shoulder. Don't carry the baby in a hip carrier if you are biking or engaging in sporty activities. If there are damaged parts, don't use the carrier.
