Hip Seat Carrier
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.

Q&A
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.
Good news! Babylist sells the Tushbaby Waistband Extender
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.
A D-ring will allow you to attach Tushbaby's Crossbody Strap to your Hip Seat Carrier.
That's right! This is the newer model with the D-ring attachments.
This carrier fits a 23” to 44” waist. You can also use a Waistband Extender which adds up to 24 more inches.

2. My son loves to sit in it while walking around Target, because where else 😅
3. The pockets and storage are fantastic!
4. Compact and very light weight by itself so it doesn't feel like any extra weight to tote around. I strapped it right to my diaper bag.
5. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat!
