Four Ways to Wear the Tushbaby Hip Carrier

The Tushbaby Hip Carrier is redefining baby carrying with a design that’s practical, stylish, and built to last from infancy through toddlerhood. Whether you’re juggling errands, soothing a fussy baby, or heading out for a family adventure, this baby hip carrier adapts to your needs.

Here are all the handy carrying positions for your Tushbaby Hip Carrier:

1. Feeding, Nursing, and Burping Position (birth-36 months)

The Tushbaby Hip Carrier can be used with your baby from day one! With babies sometimes feeding 12 times a day or more, having a place to lay them down literally helps take the load off. Tushbaby sits up high and tight above your waist to bring baby to the breast or bottle, so you can support them instead of carrying all of their weight. It can be used at home or on the go, making it the best infant front carrier for feeding support when nursing a newborn—and it even has a hideable bottle holder. No need to lug around a nursing pillow or diaper bag.

Remember, it’s important that you’re always sitting down while using Tushbaby in this position, even when you’re breastfeeding on the go. We know you’re busy—but when your little one is this small, sitting down to feed them is best. When feeding time is over, turn them over and lay them across the plush hip seat to burp them.

2. Face-To-Face (4-36 Months)

This position is ideal once your child gains head and neck control, and lets them sit comfortably facing you to deepen your bond while engaging their newfound curiosity.

Tushbaby also features a padded waistband with built-in lumbar support, promoting proper posture to help you carry your little one longer and more comfortably—a lifesaver when your child is in their clingy phase or is overstimulated.

3. Side-Carrying (4-36 Months)

Often, caregivers only have one side that’s comfortable to carry their baby on, which can take a physical toll on their body. With Tushbaby, you can continue to side-carry your baby, with their legs straddling you and with their tush on the carrier. There’s also no constant readjusting them on your hip or using all your arm strength to hold them up.

This is the perfect position for when your little one needs to stay close, but you still need to keep up with life’s needs. Use your Tushbaby Hip Carrier as a baby side carrier and keep your child perched securely on your hip while evenly distributing their weight, saving your back and arms from strain. Just remember to keep one arm around your little one to keep them steady at all times.

4. Front-Facing (6-36 Months)

When your little one is ready to face forward in a carrier, Tushbaby’s hip seat provides a sturdy, supportive spot for them to sit comfortably. Perfect for curious toddlers and those quick pick-up, put-down moments, this position lets them take in the sights while staying secure.

With built-in storage, Tushbaby keeps essentials like snacks, toys, or wipes right at your hip. No extra bags or fuss—just everything you need to keep your little one happy while making your day a little easier.

How To Wear Your Tushbaby Hip Carrier With The Snug Attachment

Meet your ultimate multitasking duo: the Tushbaby Hip Carrier + The Snug attachment. This combo transforms your Tushbaby into a hands-free wonder with versatile carrying options. Attach The Snug, pop your baby onto the hip seat, and choose your adventure—wear it face-to-face for extra snuggles or forward-facing so your little one can take in the world.

The straps wrap into a secure “X” across your back, keeping both of you supported and comfy. Whether it’s a family walk or a grocery run, this 2-in-1 setup offers style, convenience, and flexibility to match your day’s needs.

Inward-Facing with Snug Attachment (12-45lbs)

The Snug + Tushbaby combo is the ultimate structured carrier for inward-facing snuggles. This position keeps your baby nestled close, promoting bonding while offering the support you both need. The secure straps cross over your back for even weight distribution, while the soft, snug fit ensures your baby is comfortable and safe. Perfect for infants who still need head and neck support or toddlers seeking comfort, this inward-facing setup allows you to keep your little one close and content while keeping your hands free for the day’s demands.

Outward-Facing with Snug Attachment (16-45lbs)

Whether you’re running errands or exploring a new park, The Snug attachment is here to make your Tushbaby even more versatile. Designed for babies who’ve mastered head and neck control, The Snug transforms your Tushbaby into a secure, forward-facing baby carrier.

The setup is quick and easy—just attach The Snug, place your little one outward facing on the hip seat, and wrap the straps over your shoulders to keep them safe, cozy, and ready for adventure. It’s perfect for hands-free parenting moments like sipping your latte, capturing memories, or zipping through your to-do list.
