Growing up a child, his first steps give not only unforgettable joy. Parents have a new concern - how to make walking comfortable for both the baby and themselves. Significantly contribute to this hipsit for the child. What is it and how to choose it?
What is hipsit?
During the sharp jump in the popularity of slings, ergo-backpacks and other similar carryings, many mothers complained of only one inconvenience. It is very difficult to constantly get and put the baby back while walking. And if mom uses a sling, then it is simply impossible to do winding on the street, and even with purchases in her hands.
It was then that a new carrier appeared in the arena - hipsit. It is a wide belt, on the side of which is a comfortable seat for the baby. The kit may include special seat belts that give the parent's hands complete freedom.
For which child is hipsit suitable?
To decide on the purchase of such a "transport", you must first weigh all the pros and cons of the acquisition. Hipsit for a child is simply necessary if:
- the baby loves to run, but occasionally gets into his arms;
- parents often travel long distances with a lot of transfers with their child;
- Parents often take long walks.
The clear advantage over sling and backpack is ease of use. The advantage over the stroller is that it is easy to walk around shopping malls with hipsit and ride on public transport.
If the child is assiduous, then, in principle, it does not matter what to give preference to. But when a child is a researcher and loves to run, carrying a stroller with him does not make sense. Mom will have to be torn between a stroller and a child in a hurry for adventure. And the baby is not very comfortable with such a baby, because the legs periodically get tired, and every 10-20 minutes the mother will need to unwind / unwind the baby's cloth.
How to choose a hipsit?
First of all, you should decide on the type of hipsitis.
- Hipsit without back. It is a seat with a belt. Mom needs to hold the baby with her hand.
- Hipsit for a child with a back. It allows the baby to feel a little more comfortable, but his mother will have to keep it anyway.
- Hipsit with seat belts. Here the baby can be fastened and not worry about his safety.
The next criterion is material. Most manufacturers use jeans, cotton or polyester. Pognae hipsit is made from jeans and polyester. These products are considered one of the highest quality.
And finally, the cost. Here, everyone chooses what is acceptable to him.
How can I use hipsit?
When the baby’s back has become stronger and he can sit, parents can safely carry. There are absolutely no difficulties in using hipsit.
The belt is simply fastened on the parent's waist. The seat can be positioned as you wish - from the side, front or back. The child can also be planted both with his back to the parent and face. And absolutely do not worry about the comfort of the baby. He will be even more comfortable than when mom holds his hands. Estimated operating time - from 6 months to 2 years.

Carrier Reviews
Hipsit Pognae (“Ponye”) leads in the number of positive reviews. This brand has the widest palette, numbering 12 juicy shades, using high quality materials for the manufacture of products. In addition, this is the only carry up to 20 kg. Other brands allow you to carry a child weighing a maximum of 13 kg.
Ponye is recommended for babies who are very “tame”, as well as for heavy children. These hipsites have the highest rating for comfort, which means they are ideal for long wear. Also this brand produces the highest quality hipsit. The reviews confirm that Pony has the longest operation.
If carrying is needed for a short time. For example, at sea, to be mobile with a child and quietly attend excursions, then any hipsit is suitable. But it is better to purchase a complete set - with seat belts. This will make both hands free, and the baby can even take a nap if necessary.
Owners of hipsits note that their back has stopped hurting, which is not surprising, because carrying promotes the correct position of the spine and distributes the load.
If you have decided to purchase hipsit, reviews play a significant role in this. They will allow you to see the shortcomings that ordinary consumers stand out.
Disadvantages of hippsitis
Like any product, these carryings also have disadvantages.
- Appearance. Many people think that hipsit for a child looks unpresentable. And it spoils the appearance of the parents. In this case, the question is how much comfort is important to you.
- Cost on a good hipsit. The price of a quality product is quite high.
- Security. Cheap carry can have low safety performance and, for example, come unfastened while driving. Therefore, do not save.
- The size. Hipsit takes up a lot of space in a suitcase and a backpack.
Hipsit Benefits
- Carrying helps keep your back straight. The spine does not bend, as with the usual carrying of the baby on the thigh.
- A special storage bag helps calmly remove hippsitis when it is not needed.
- Easy to operate. It is very easy to put on, there is no difficulty in sitting the child.
- The child does not refuse to sit on hipsit, as happens with slings and backpacks. This is due to the fact that the “on hand” pose is completely no different from the one that the carry offers.
- Walking with a fidgety child is much easier and more enjoyable.
- With a child, it will become easy to travel in public transport, stand in lines, etc.
Most importantly, pay attention to the carrying capacity. Otherwise, it may happen that you can use the acquisition for a very short time. And besides, it can be dangerous to wear too heavy a baby in hipsitis, which is not designed for this.
