Award Winning Hipseat has been developed with a padded foam shelf to allow adults to carry their children naturally on their hip without the usual strains on their back. Specifically designed to address one of the root causes of back pain, the seat provides a firm shelf for the child to sit on and supports their increasingly heavy weight from underneath. Instead of twisting the spine, the back stays straight and the child is tucked into the chest on whichever side is more comfortable for the wearer, providing comfort and security for both adult and child.
