Overview

Description

Fact: babies love to be carried. But after while, this can take a toll on your arms, hips and back. Tushbaby is a strap-free, ergonomic hipseat that evenly distributes your baby’s weight—so you can carry your little one longer and more comfortably.

Tushbaby helps you take a load off, literally, by reducing muscular strain on the spine while holding baby. The squishy memory foam seat supports and positions your child’s hips in the proper M-shaped position, helping to reduce the risk of hip dysplasia. It can be used in face-to-face, side-carrying and front-facing positions, and offers support during breastfeeding and bottle-feeding as early as infancy.

The wide belt features a plush pad and built-in lumbar support, which means more comfort for you. It also features roomy pockets to stash diapers, keys and pacifiers and has a hideable bottle holder and toy loop for on-the-go convenience.

It’s designed to fit 23”–44” waists, but you can add up to 24 more inches with the Waistband Extender (sold separately).

There a few key differences with the fabric types:

  • Standard Polyester ($85): machine washable
  • Vegan Leather ($98): wipe clean (not machine washable)
  • Velvet ($115): machine washable

Note: Parents still need to keep an arm around baby.

6 Questions
Is it safe for baby’s hips?

Most pediatricians recommend a healthy seated “M” position when using a hip seat carrier. That means your baby's knees should be sitting higher than their bottom when they’re in the face-to-face and side carry position.

For optimal hip health, their hips and legs should also be able to move freely and not be straight or together for long periods of time. It's always a good idea to adjust your baby’s legs and hips every so often to make sure they’re in that M-shape in this carrier.

Where can I purchase the Waistband Extender? ?

Good news! Babylist sells the Tushbaby Waistband Extender

Can I use the carrier without the Tushbaby hip seat?

The Tushbaby Snug Carrier is designed to be used with the seat for support and comfort. Using it without the seat may compromise safety and stability.

What is a D ring for? ?

A D-ring will allow you to attach Tushbaby's Crossbody Strap to your Hip Seat Carrier.

Will this be the newer model with the d-ring attachments?

That's right! This is the newer model with the D-ring attachments.

How many inches?

This carrier fits a 23” to 44” waist. You can also use a Waistband Extender which adds up to 24 more inches.

Good one!
Soft, comfortable and easy to put on. Baby seems happy on it.
Very efficient and handy when you just want to quickly pop out to the shop and don’t want to take the full on pram with you.
Good for errands around the house too with the carrier addition.

Mamma and baby love the extra support
My 5mo old wants to be carried around everywhere and I found I was squeezing her too tight when I needed to use my hands to do random things around the house. This allows me to carry her around and have my hands which we both love! Isn't as difficult to put on like a full carrier. Amazing customer service that took care of an order issue immediately and went above and beyond. My nanny also tried it and likes all the storage more than the brand she has.

LOVE!
The original color I ordered that was on sale was out of stock and customer service emailed me and let me pick a new one for the same price! They were great to work with and I absolutely love my new Tushbaby! It makes the constant ups and downs with my toddler sooo much easier, especially when I'm trying to do things around the house. 10/10 recommend! Everyone needs one of these!

Great idea!
Perfect for what I need. My only suggestion would be maybe a thin bag to put the tushbaby into when not needed.

Life Saver! Love my Tushbaby
The Tushbaby was amazing at Disney! We use it anywhere on the go, the storage is great so we aren't using both a bag and stroller. A necessity for anyone with a baby! Excited to use it for two more years!

The Best!
We tried numerous other carriers 💸💸💸, before discovering Tushbaby. It’s so easy to use…our baby loves it! (Hated the others that squish him to you…. He likes his freedom… lol). Liked the first one so much that I ordered a lite version for around the house/neighborhood. Eliminates the need for a cumbersome diaper bag/backpack.

The best carrier!
It's wonderful and easy to use. It's also quite stylish and looks good with every outfit. Saves my back and shoulders by taking some of the baby weight off me and supporting my back. We jawsst love it! 🥰
