We love it! We love
We love it! We love facing out and in and having just a hip option! I would suggest getting the bib that goes with it. . . the first long wear my little guys had a run spot on his chin

Helps tremendously
This is such a great product. Helps tremendously to balance weight throughout body rather than all in one place. It's been a huge help since we bought it. Would highly recommend!

I absolutely love how much
I absolutely love how much simpler this makes my life! My sweet chunky boy loves it, too! It’s super comfy for me & baby! It’s almost too easy to take the support off & just hip carry, as well! I’ve recommended it to all my mom friends!

I don’t like the way
I don’t like the way the adjustable part is. Not happy with product for the cost.

Arrived in a box that appeared open
Unfortunately, when it arrived, it looked like it had been opened before and re-packaged. I called customer service and they said that wasn't possible. So, I taped it myself and gave it as a baby gift at a shower but I am embarrassed at how it looked, It definitely wasn't fitting in the box properly and I wasn't happy with how the customer service person dismissed my concerns.

My baby feels comfortable and happy
I wasn't really into hip seat carrier at first but it makes a BIG difference! I got the regular carrier and the weight pressure was put on baby's thighs, the hip seat solves that problem! He looks so comfy and happy when we use this carrier. Also the hip seat helps to balance out the weight pressure on my shoulders, making both mom and baby feel comfortable. I also love the breathable mesh cushion material, very well made. Highly recommended!

Super convenient and works
My baby is a big boy at 25 lbs and my shoulders and neck were hurting so much that I made the decision to buy this. So far it’s has been a huge relief, almost no more pain (plus PT), and he seems to like it as well! It’s comfortable, easy to take on and off, and looks easy to wash. Highly recommend.

Better options-skip
The Alta was great for having a toddler (carry in the back) and a baby, but the zipper to attach the top kept slipping off while wearing it! We were at Disney world when this happened. We love the regular carrier and would recommend the Tushbaby system for a hip seat.
