HIPSTER™ PLUS is unique because it has a built-in 3D hip seat. It is ergonomically designed to minimize the cause of back pain when holding a baby. We tend to hold babies by resting baby on the side of our hips causing us to twist our spine. With HIPSTER™ PLUS your baby’s weight is distributed evenly on the seat and not your hips, which allows you to hold your baby standing straight up, protecting your back.

The HIPSTER™ PLUS is a game changer because it’s introducing a new category in a traditional market that hasn’t seen any product evolution in the past decade. Our unique 3D hip seat absorbs the weight of your baby so you will feel significantly less pressure on your back and shoulders, this allows you to carry your baby close to you for a longer period of times effortlessly.

Another great feature of a 3D baby carrier is you can use the hip seat on its own, meaning your baby can stay close to you without feeling enclosed in. It’s perfect for taking care of house chores at home, when your baby insists on being carried, when you’re out at a friend’s house (where you don’t feel comfortable leaving your baby alone on the floor), or places that are not stroller-friendly like museums, narrow shopping aisles, or smaller restaurants.

HIPSTER™ PLUS is super versatile because you can easily switch between hip seat, double shoulder, and single shoulder. When you use the double shoulder top, it transfers HIPSTER™ PLUS into a traditionally structured carrier, perfect for the times you need to be completely handsfree. The double shoulder straps go over each shoulder and provides a more enclosed hold on your baby. It also provides the most support for your back. In this setup, you can also discreetly nurse your baby when out in public.

When you use the single shoulder top, you have one strap over one shoulder and your HIPSTER™ PLUS is transformed into a ring sling, allowing you to carry your baby on your side and be handsfree. This carry position is more suitable for older baby around 6 months as it gives baby more freedom to look around as they are less enclosed in.

No confusing, long straps or intricate systems.The HIPSTER™ PLUS comes assembled so it takes literally seconds to put on. Just wrap the waist belt around your waist and put the double shoulders on your shoulder and click the back strap.

Our carrier is perfect for babies from newborn up to 4 years old or 44 lbs (20 kgs). We recommend using the infant insert until your baby has strong head and neck control, usually that happens around 4 months. We recommend forward facing around 4-6 months. We recommend 6 months for single shoulder carry and 8 months for back carry. Here are our “how-to” YouTube videos. 

HIPSTER™ PLUS has been submitted and approved by global wide safety standards. The raw materials found in the PU foam insert (used in HIPSTER™ PLUS hip seat) are fire resistant and non-toxic, verified through SGS testing. SGS, is a world-leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification company.

For the US/ CANADA: HIPSTER™ PLUS meets the US safety standard ASTM F2236 and CPSIA 2014, and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2014.

For EUROPE: HIPSTER™ PLUS meets the EN71-3 standard.

GLOBALLY: HIPSTER™ PLUS meets the safety standard EN13209-2:2005

Absolutely! It’s super easy to nurse in our carrier. Here’s a YouTube video on how to do it.

It’s definitely possible to use the carrier when pregnant. It’s actually very helpful as it helps you support your baby’s weight and relieves the pressure on your back but since every pregnancy is different, we recommend you first consult with your doctor before you choose to carry your child beyond the first trimester.

Did you know that you can carry your baby up to 9 different ways?! Yeah, we thought that was incredible too! Here’s a YouTube video of all the 9 ways you can carry your baby! 

HIPSTER™ PLUS carrier top incorporates a double layer to protect and keep your baby warm and cozy on a colder day but is removable for hot summer days. The mesh material underneath keeps your baby cool so that he can stay in the carrier longer, more comfortably.

HIPSTER™ PLUS comes with 4 pockets, a large pocket under the hip seat, a side pocket on the waist belt for your smartphone and two smaller pockets on the double shoulder

We do not joke when we say “A LOT”! Check out this YouTube video to see for yourself.

Our 3D hip seat ensures that the baby’s hips are always in the proper “M” position for healthy hip development, so it is safe to forward-face carry with our carrier. We recommend forward facing when your baby has good head and neck control which is usually around 4 months. You can test if your baby has strong head and neck control by leaning forward with your baby in the carrier facing forward. If his head falls forward and he is not able to lift his head up himself, then he is not ready for forward facing as when the head falls forward involuntarily, it could block airways.

No, due to our 3D hip seat which supports your baby’s legs at hip level so it’s impossible for baby’s legs to hang in any of the 9 carry positions. We have been approved by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute as a hip healthy product.

HHip dysplasia happens when the ball of the thighbone doesn’t fit securely into the hip socket. If baby’s hips are stretched out too much, you can distort the cup-shaped socket which may cause bigger problems when baby starts to start walking.

It is considered a “silent condition” because it’s not painful for a baby so it can easily go undetected until it’s too late to correct. That’s why here in Switzerland, we have mandatory hip ultrasounds for all babies when they reach 2 months of age. But not all countries have mandatory hip check-ups. So it’s always better to opt for a hip healthy carrier that supports baby’s hips.

Absolutely not, no carrier can cause hip dysplasia if it is not already an existing condition for your baby. But correct hip positioning is a smart way to make sure your child is comfortable and developing properly.

Terms like “M position” and “knee to knee” is misleading at it focuses on the knees and not the position of the thigh bone. The focus of proper hip positioning should be on keeping the thighs supported at hip level so the thigh bone stays inside the hip socket. Our hip seat ensures baby’s thighs are fully supported at hip level at all times in all 9 carry positions. It’s impossible to wear your baby the wrong way.  Forward facing seated position is only safe starting at 6 months old.

Yes! We are happy to say that you can bond with your baby in our carrier even when your baby has to wear a hip brace. Our hip seat makes it possible for the baby to sit comfortably with a hip brace.

We designed our carrier so it’s fully adjustable for all body types. The waist belt can fit a waist of 130 cm. With the extender belt, it can fit up to 180 cm. We call our extender belt the “waist slimmer” as the high waist band is very flattering and doesn’t dig in, so no mommy muffin tops!
