Scootababy Baby Carrier
£85.00
The
Scootababy™ Baby Carrier
is a uniquely designed
Hip Carrier
that allows you to carry your child comfortably and hands free. It is natural to carry your child on your hip, however the position that parents tend to adopt - with one hip kicked out to the side to support your child's weight - can lead to back and pelvis pain. The Scootababy solves this problem, allowing you to remain upright with the carrier comfortably supporting your child's weight close to your body, minimising any strain on your spine, back muscles and pelvis. Your child gets a great view of the world while still being able to have face-to-face conversations.
Features of the Scootababy Hip Carrier
Suitable from when your child can hold their head independently, usually around 4-6 months (minimum weight 12lbs) The Scootababy weight limit is 37lbs/17kg
Great for the newly walking child who regularly wants to be carried
Designed for a hip (side) carry but can also be used on the front and back. The front carry can be used for breastfeeding
Can be used on either the left or right hip with no adjustments to the carrier necessary
Lightly padded shaped seat which is supportive and comfortable for your child
The shoulder is made from stretchy fleece which moulds around your shoulder without restricting arm movement
Wide padded waistbelt which is adjustable to fit waist sizes from 19 inches up to 50 inches so will fit most people
Padded sliding section on the waist belt can be placed on the opposite hip for comfort (this can be removed to allow the waist belt to be adjusted to its smallest size)
The buckles on the shoulder strap are easily adjusted with one hand
When not in use, the Scootababy folds up small
Scootababy colour options: Black, Taupe, Wall Street

Absolutely amazing hip carrier. My little boy is one year old and very heavy. I suffer from scoliosis so one shoulder carries are difficult but I've been able to carry him longer than any other hip carrier or ring sling I have tried. The shoulder is comfy and very easy to adjust. The padded waist really helps spread the weight.

I recently bought this carrier and its fab. My son is 13 months old. Although he is not a big child I am a small mummy. He loves cuddles and sometimes I find it hard to hold him for long periods, this carrier - it's a saver. I can carry him around for long lengths, and as he is held facing me and the front, we get lots of interaction and also cuddles. He loves to be able to see whats going on tell me about it. This carrier allows you to do this. He is also a big wriggler but I don't worry when he is in this carrier as he is held in very safely. When not used it folds up really neatly and comes in its own bag but I just put it straight into my changing bag. I think if you like cuddles and lots of interaction but hate fiddling and bulkiness then this is the one for you.
