FAQs

Can you sit while wearing a baby hip carrier?

Absolutely! Sitting while babywearing is perfectly safe as long as your baby’s legs and feet don’t bump into anything. With the Tushbaby Hip Seat Carrier, you can comfortably sit and move around while keeping your little one close. Just remember to keep one arm around your baby for extra support—hip seat carriers aren’t fully hands-free.

Bonus: Tushbaby doubles as a stylish, ergonomic fanny pack-style carrier with multiple pockets to stash your essentials. Learn more about the benefits of babywearing for you and your baby.

How many carry positions does Tushbaby offer?

Tushbaby offers four carry positions to adapt to every stage:

  • Feeding position (0–36 months)
  • Face-to-face position (4–36 months)
  • Side-carrying position (4–36 months)
  • Forward-facing position (6–36 months)

This flexibility makes it one of the best hip seat carriers for newborns, infants, and toddlers up to 45 lbs. For a visual guide, check out four ways to wear Tushbaby.

When can I turn my baby forward in a hip carrier?

You can start using the forward-facing position once your baby can hold their head up confidently—usually around 4–6 months. At that stage, your little one will love facing out to explore the world! Tushbaby also lets you switch easily between face-to-face, side, and forward-facing positions for comfort and connection.

Are hip seat carriers safe for newborns?

While the Tushbaby Hip Seat Carrier can be used from birth as feeding support, it isn’t fully hands-free, so you’ll need to keep one arm around your baby for safety. Once your baby has developed head and neck control (around 4 months), you can begin using Tushbaby in its other carry positions: face-to-face, facing out, and side carrying.

For additional safety info, see our Instructional Videos for step-by-step guidance.

How should my baby’s hips be positioned in a carrier?

Your baby should always sit in the recommended “M” position, with their thighs supported, knees slightly higher than their bottom, and legs spread naturally around your body. This helps promote healthy hip development. 

The Tushbaby Hip Carrier is ergonomic and keeps your baby’s hips in proper alignment. Learn more about hip-safe babywearing in this blog post on carrier safety.

What age can you use a hip seat carrier?

You can use the Tushbaby Hip Seat Carrier from birth to 36 months (up to 45 lbs). As your baby grows, it’s a smart choice once they are ready for more independence and want to explore, but still love being held.

The Tushbaby evenly distributes weight across your body to reduce back and shoulder strain, making it one of the best carriers for babies who constantly want up, down, and up again.

Can babies sleep in a hip seat carrier?

Yes, as long as they’re secure and supported. The Tushbaby Hip Seat keeps your baby’s hips in the ideal “M” position while offering lumbar support for you. Its memory foam-lined seat cradles your baby comfortably, so if they drift off during errands, you’re both supported.

Lightweight (under 1 lb) and easy to clean, Tushbaby is designed for safe naps and everyday comfort. Just be sure to keep one arm around your child at all times

Where can I learn how to use the Tushbaby correctly?

You can find step-by-step setup and safety tutorials on our Instructional Videos page. We also cover the benefits of babywearing and four ways to wear Tushbaby on our blog for extra tips on safe, comfortable carrying.

Can Tushbaby help with back pain?

Yes! Tushbaby is designed to alleviate common back, shoulder, and arm strain by evenly distributing your baby’s weight across your body. The padded lumbar waistband provides lower back support, while the firm, ergonomic seat keeps your baby close to your center of gravity. Many parents find it to be the best baby carrier for back pain relief, especially during long outings.

Can dads use the Tushbaby carrier?

Absolutely! Tushbaby is designed to fit a wide range of body types: from moms to dads, grandparents, and caregivers. The adjustable waistband fits 23–44 inches (or up to 70 inches with our Waistband Extender), so it’s perfect for every parent or partner who wants to safely and comfortably carry their little one.

Is Tushbaby good for travel and everyday use?

Yes! the Tushbaby Hip Carrier is lightweight (under 1 lb), compact, and folds neatly for easy storage in a diaper bag, stroller basket, or carry-on. With five pockets, a bottle holder, and built-in back support, it’s perfect for airports and long days of travel. It’s one of the best travel baby carriers for parents who value comfort and convenience.

Reviews

Saved my Back!

"I have a 26 pound 9 mo and this was ordered in desperation hoping it might help my sore back from carrying her around. She also hated being held on my hip. She loves the tush baby and sits so contently in it. We rarely take our stroller anymore as this thing is so comfortable to carry her with us and we love being able to watch her see everything. And yes! It literally saved my back."

— Alli K. (5/5)

Amazing

"I can't believe I didn't get this for my other babies. I'm on my 3rd baby now and finally bit the bullet and I'm so impressed. It has saved my back including my mom's while holding her. I also used it going through the airport and it was a life saver. Plus all the pockets are amazing 😍 I can't say enough good things."

— Stephanie W. (5/5)

Comfortable and easy

"Our 5m old is heavy (20lbs) and loves to be world-facing, but it was getting tiring to hold him up all day and the baby carriers we have are too hot for the weather we’re currently in. Our Tushbaby has been a lifesaver, and both my husband and I use it practically all day, even just around the house!"

— Lian S. (5/5)

The First Baby Shower Gift I Bought

"When I started shopping for baby shower gifts, Tushbaby was the very first thing on my list. I already own one myself, and it's been one of the best baby products I've ever purchased. It's so practical, incredibly well made, and something I recommend to parents all the time. Because I've had such a great experience with mine, I knew I wanted to gift one to my best friend for her baby shower. It's one of those products that makes everyday life so much easier, and I know she'll get so much use out of it. I can't recommend Tushbaby enough!"

— Mary-Katherine H. (5/5)

Fabulous

"I bought this for my daughter and 6 month old grandbaby and honestly for myself. I carry her everywhere when I visit and this saves my back! It fits 5 diapers and a whole pack of wipes. I highly recommend it!"

— Patricia G. (5/5)

Game Changer. Mom of 4

"Game Changer. Mom of 4 and baby carrier here! I use it numerous times per day in all settings with my 17lb 4 month old. I’d be lost without it as he hates traditional baby wearing…plus it’s been a hot HOT summer!! When it’s not around my waist and I need the stroller it conveniently velcros to the handle bars and acts as a holder for all the essentials."

— Lara S. (5/5)

Caring for my grandbaby is much easier

"The tushbaby really helps relieve the stress on my lower back while holding my grandbaby, who also seems to be more comforable and secure. It's easy to use and I appreciate all of the compartments that allow me to carry things I need with us. I was lucky I got it on sale, but would definitely pay full price. I wish I had known about it sooner, but better late than never!"

— Teresa D. (5/5)

"Still figuring it out but so far I’d making carrying my Velcro baby around the house much easier! Along with the wrap it makes getting things done around the house much easier being hands free! I expect it to be great while on the go as we start to do more outside the house as our baby grows"

— Carly (5/5)

A must have when going out

"I absolutely ADORE the Tushbaby! It's an absolute must have when we go out to do basically anything! Our daughter also loves the support it gives her when I'm holding her as it's much more comfortable than me continuously hoisting her back up on to my hip!"

I recommend to everyone

"I kept hearing about the tush baby but after buying one myself and using it daily I have noticed a huge difference in my back and shoulders when carrying my baby, he’s comfy and I’m comfy and when I go do anything now I put him on my tushbaby. Anytime people ask me about it I always recommend it with high remarks. Iv very happy with my purchase"

Q&A

Can I use the hip carrier with my 3 and 5 year old who are under 45 pounds?
Hi Aubrey, yes you can!
Where is majority of the weight felt when wearing the tushbaby?
Hi Ruby, when wearing the Tushbaby the majority of the weight will be distributed evenly around the waist area
Is the Python material smooth or is it snakeskin material? I’m worried about it rubbing mine or the babies skin and causing irritation or being uncomfortable.
Hi there! It is a smooth material :) Vegan Leather!
Is the non leather carrier less bulky/sweaty than the leather or are the materials about the same when it comes to comfortability for the summer heat?
Hi there, It will be the same size, but yes, less sweaty than the vegan leather
do you know when or if you will have the vegan leather hip carrier in cognac back in stock?
Yes we are restocking this but do not have an exact date yet. You can sign up for restock alerts on our website.
The belt snags my shirt when i wear it with my son. Do I need an extender or am I just wearing incorrectly?
We're sorry to hear this! If the Tushbaby is snagging your clothing, it may be that the fit is off. Make sure you are wearing it high and tight and around your waist. If the velcro is still exposed, you may want to consider a Waistband Extender.
Can I use this is I am pregnant?
Yes, you can wear your Tushbaby below the bump while pregnant. However, we recommend using it only in combination with The Snug attachment wrap to provide optimal support. We always recommend checking with your doctor when using Tushbaby or any baby carrier while pregnant.
Hi, I ordered this item in the vegan leather, and I noticed your product contains polyurethane foam. Upon doing research, I’ve come across several articles that say it’s toxic and not baby safe. Could you let me know what your company’s rationale is for using this controversial material?

Tushbaby products undergo stringent and rigorous testing, keeping both baby and caregiver safety in mind. The materials we choose have been thoroughly tested by our trusted manufacturing partners for safety and comfort. Various studies certify that polyurethane doesn’t pose a risk to user health. In fact, polyurethane is present in our lives in hundreds of forms like seats, shoes, bags, cushions, children's toys, or even prostheses and other surgical materials. Please let us know if you have any other questions. We hope you and your little one enjoy the Tushbaby brand as much as we do!
