I was thinking about this yesterday as my hip is killing!!
I’ve got one too. They are okay, I personally don’t feel safe using it for a long period as they can easily flung themselves out which scares me a bit!
Someone described them as a ‘hip assist’ rather than a carrier as they’re not safe for hands free carrying x
I don’t really understand why these are a thing!
I don’t have a senarah but I do have a hip seat carrier - my 8m old is over 12kg and it’s a life saver being able to do things around the house whilst he’s being clingy and also for popping into a shop etc from the car rather then getting the full carrier or pram out. Obviously it’s not hands free but just helps hold him more securely and I love it x
@Alesha Which one do you have if you don’t mind me asking?
I also have a hip seat carrier. I've found it really good actually. I just keep it in the car and use it to pop into the shops or wear it around the house if we're having a clingy day. He's very happy perched on it, as he has a better view of everything. The seat takes all the weight and I just keep one arm round his back and the other arm stays free.
@Ellie can I ask which you have?
@Ellie also would like to know
@Molly I got mine on vinted it says Gabesy on the brand ☺️
I have one. They are good for short periods - making a bottle/cuppa or popping into the shop for something quick. I wouldn't recommend long stints, though it puts uneven strain on your joints and will contribute to back pain.
