FAQs

What is the Tushbaby Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment and how does it work?

The Tushbaby Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment™ is a soft wrap that attaches directly to the Tushbaby Hip Seat Carrier to create the first-ever hybrid baby carrier. It offers hands-free support for babies 12–45 lbs and allows you to carry your child face-to-face or forward-facing. Simply attach, wrap, and buckle; then store it neatly in the Tushbaby’s under-seat pocket when not in use.

Watch step-by-step setup tutorials on our Instructional Videos page to learn how to attach and wear your Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment safely and comfortably.

Can I use the Tushbaby Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment without the Tushbaby Hip Seat?

The Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment is designed exclusively for use with the Tushbaby Hip Seat Carrier; it’s an attachment, not a standalone baby wrap. Together, they form a supportive 2-in-1 system that evenly distributes your baby’s weight and gives you the flexibility to go hands-free while keeping your baby close.

What age and weight range is the Tushbaby Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment best for?

The Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment can be used for babies weighing 12–45 lbs, or roughly from 3 months to 3 years old. For face-to-face carrying, use it between 12–45 lbs, and for forward-facing, start at 16 lbs. It’s not suitable for newborns under 12 lbs, but it’s perfect for infants and toddlers ready for hands-free adventures.

Is the Tushbaby Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment safe for my baby?

Yes — the Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment and Tushbaby Hip Carrier combo is tested to the new ASTM F2236-24 safety standard and made from OEKO-TEX 100 certified materials. The Hip Carrier keeps your baby in the recommended “M” sitting position for healthy hip development and ensures a snug, supported fit when properly worn, while the Hands-Free Attachment keeps them close and supported during hands-free babywearing. Always follow babywearing safety guidelines and the T.I.C.K.S. rule: Tight, In View, Close Enough to Kiss, Keep Chin Off Chest, Supported Back. Learn more about the benefits of babywearing on the Tushbaby blog.

How is the Tushbaby Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment different from a regular baby wrap?

Traditional baby wraps can be tricky to tie and often lack structure. The Tushbaby Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment combines the comfort of a wrap with the support and storage of a structured carrier by attaching to the Tushbaby Hip Carrier. Its buckle-and-strap design means no endless fabric to twist — just an easy-on, easy-off solution that gives you hands-free flexibility and back support.

How do I clean and store the Tushbaby Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment?

The Hip Seat Hands-Free Attachment is made from a soft, stretchy blend of rayon, polyester, and spandex. It’s machine washable on delicate and should be laid flat to dry. When you’re done babywearing, it folds compactly to fit inside the Tushbaby’s under-seat storage pocket—perfect for on-the-go parents who love convenience.

Reviews

Best Mama and Dada Utility Belt Ever!

"Batman would be no match for a mom or dad with a tushbaby carrier. Can’t recommend enough! Only thing I didn’t know was that there is no shoulder strap for purse mode that comes with it. You have to accessorize separately. Otherwise very pleased!"

Genevieve M. (5/5)

In theory it’s great!

"I’ve had my TushBaby for about two weeks, but only used it for about a week once I received the extender. Even with such minimal use, it’s already showing noticeable wear and tear, which shouldn’t be happening this early. It’s also disappointing that the item stores in the same pocket many people rely on instead of a diaper bag, which makes the setup less convenient. Overall, the concept is great, but there are some design flaws that need improvement. I’m really bummed about the quality."

Carissa (3/5)

Great addition to Hip Seat!

"Didn't think the hip seat could improve but here we are! Love this addition - we used it primarily over the course of an 8-day music festival for our 8mo and it was a lifesaver for our wrists during nap time. We also used it forward facing and it was great! Would love if on the crossbody strap there was a place to tuck it in, or a hook on the drawstring bag. I'm sure it could tuck into the front pocket but we were using that for a diaper bag :)"

Trish B. (5/5)

I love it, but…

"I wish the seat was a little bit wider. By child is 5months and pretty heavy, and I feel like we won’t be able to use it until he’s 3 as advertised. With that being said, I love the fabric, and I love how convenient it is. It is really saving my back and arms."

Paula A. (4/5)

"Love love love it!! I used it for 4hrs over the weekend and it didnt kill my back. I love the jaguar print and the feel of the fabric. It didnt make us hot and sweaty. The hip seat did everything that I needed it to do. I was able to get everything on and off including baby solo and as a mom to 4 and being by herself most of the time its important to get baby strapped to you without needing help and extra hands. I'm petite and my 3m old baby is hitting 13lb + its been wks since we weighed him and wearing him puts so much strain on my back after about 20-30mins. I have multiple wraps and carriers and they all just leave me hurting. After testing this combo out I'm happy to say I found the perfect carrier for extended wear time. I highly recommend the combo to anyone having the same issues as me."

Ashley (5/5)

My 8 month old loves!!!

"Other carriers never worked for my children, their legs always turned purple. I love the tushbaby carrier and hands free attachment. She loves to sit in it while we’re out walking, grocery shopping, anywhere that she gets out of the car seat! Plus my arms, hips, and back are thanking me."

Natalie P. (5/5)

Soft and easy to use

"We needed a carrier for our trip to Disney. Our little one was only used to napping in his crib, but we knew we needed to have something on the go. The hands free attachment was so soft and easy to put on with one hand while using the other to support. The directions have pictures and words to clarify step by step. Baby slept comfortably. The bottom Tush Baby took a little more getting used to with where to situate it on my waist and the added weight with baby sitting on it. Overall would recommend and will use for future outings."

Katherine V. (5/5)

Supportive carrier

"I love that this can be just a hip seat or also add on the carrier. The fabric is amazing! The hip seat is sturdy and supportive! Helps so much with my 20 lb 6 month old!"

Rebecca M. (5/5)

Great buy!

"Someone purchased the seat as a gift for me. I later added the attachment. Both have been a game changer for my high needs baby. Has saved my back."

Ashton P. (5/5)

Tushbaby making it a breeze

"I already had the the Tushbaby hip carrier with my first son who is now 2 (and still use it with him) but now with my 3 month old I purchased the wrap carrier to go with it and it’s been a life saver with 2 under 2. I’m able to have both hands free and do more around the house. My baby also looks more comfortable than other carriers I’ve had especially when we are out on long day trips. Definitely recommend!"

Q&A

Hi, I love my tushbaby! I know it can hold up to 45lbs but is the snug attachment safe for bigger babies as well? Thank you!
Hi Sara, yes it is! The Snug can also hold up to 45lbs :)
Can you use the snug attachment without using the Tushbaby? Like as a carrier or it has to be worn with the Tushbaby support
Hi there, the Snug is designed to be used exclusively with Tushbaby and Tushbaby Lite carriers. It cannot be used as a standalone carrier or with other carriers
Does the black fade or becomes linty after washing?
We have had no complaints about this :)
Will the snug attachment work with ALL versions of the TushBaby? I bought my TushBaby with extender 3-5 years ago with my first grandbabies.
Yes, the Snug attachment works with all version of the Tushbaby.
Can you use the snug in a piggy back position?
Hi there, no you cannot. It is meant to be worn in the front.
My baby often falls asleep on the tush baby. Can the snug attachment be attached once the baby is already on/asleep or does it need to be attached before baby is on the seat?
Hi Naomi, Yes it can!
Does this fit all sizes? I would like to have myself and my husband use it. Thanks!
The snug is size friendly. It has adjustable straps on the side and the fabric is very stretchy.
Can this be used when the baby is on your hip with the tushbaby? My 14 mo prefers to be on my hip, but I’m afraid to solely use the tushbaby because she sometimes tries to throw herself backwards.
The snug can only be worn with the tushbaby positioned in front of you and not on your hip.
Can this be used with the tush baby lite?
Yes it can!
Can the snug be used with an infant forward facing without over extending the hips
Yes
