The Hippychick Hipseat is a back supporting belt, with an integral padded foam shelf.  The hip seat was developed to allow adults to carry their children naturally on their hip without the usual strains on the back. 

The hipseat was specifically designed to address one of the root causes of adult 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, thanks to hippychick hipseat, 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.

The hippychick hip seat is suitable from 6 months (or from when your child can sit up unaided) to 3 years.  The hip seat is recommended by osteopaths and chiropractors.
