Baby Carrier with Hip Seat, Mumgaroo Baby Carrier Newborn to Toddler All Seasons & All Position Hip Baby Carrier with Hood & Extra Safety Belt, Baby Holder Carrier for Breastfeeding, Infant & Toddler

I got the Mumgaroo carrier to help with some painful tendinitis that developed in my arm after carrying my grand baby around all day. I wish I had picked this up before I began babysitting. I could have saved myself months of pain. The carrier is versatile. I like to wear the hip seat and sometimes the simple strap to carry my grandchild on a walk or even just around the house. It’s easy to strap on with both adjustable Velcro straps and straps that clip into place. With this double reinforcement, the seat feels totally secure. With just the seat, I can carry her without straining my arm. In fact, if I’m wearing only the seat, I can easily pick her up or set her down without unstrapping anything, which is nice. But if I want to go on a longer walk, I can also include the pouch that keeps her securely strapped to my back or chest. The Mumgaroo also comes with a zip up storage area and pocket for baby bottle, toys, your phone and keys. It’s really convenient and easy to use. The Mumgaroo carrier works well, feels durable, and like I said earlier, I wish I would have used this the first day I watched our then 3-month-old grand baby.

The waist and back straps are well cushioned, there is not embedding in the skin, the sit part is the thing that really helps distributing the weight. You can use the carrier without the sit, but then you will feel the weight in your shoulders and back after a while, and the position of the babys hips and legs is not ergonomic at all. Although the sit and the rest of the carrier is only attached by a zipper and snaps, your baby is safe if by any chance this system brakes, as the child is to be positioned inside the carrier that hang from your chest or back, and then that whole thing sits on the plastic chair on your hips. I really love this carrier, is very comfortable for the child and the person who is wearing it. Using just the bottom part is great when doing errands if you dont want to waste time putting and taking the whole thing several times. You can use it like a fanie pack, turn it to one of your hips, and hold-support your toddler on the side without killing your arm. I havent use it for too long, so Im curious how the cushioning in the straps are going to hold on over time as the baby grow, also how the plastic closures are going to hold as well. So far it looks like quality, but I have experience with cheap carriers, or second hand ones that the closures gets toasted and cracks. Overall this is great and very easy to put and take off and to secure the baby inside.

I love this thing! I am not supposed to pickup/carry over 20lbs for any amount of time and my granddaughter now weighs 23 lbs so I was limited to the time I could hold her when standing. THIS HAS HELPED SO MUCH. I now can walk around stores and our farm with her in this and it is so great! it is easy to put on and easy to put her in and we both love it as Gigi can hold her

I found this carrier to be a little too complicated for me. With my nearly 10 lb newborn, Im using the full carrier setup. It has many more connections than other carriers and its cumbersome to try to position a wiggling baby on the hip carrier while trying to put on shoulder straps and tighten the seat straps. Even after attaching and tightening everything, my baby does not feel secure. Also, she looks like she is hunched over due to the placement of the seat flap on the hip carrier. As such, I wouldnt recommend this for newborns. However, the hip seat only configuration is very nice and seems like it would be good for an older toddler that may not like to stay in one position for very long. For all configurations, the waist belt needs to be really tightened in front then rotated in place. Otherwise it feels too loose when a kid is on it. The pockets are in great locations and are easily accessible. The videos on the amazon listing are a must due to the complexity of the carrier.

So far I love it. It came fully assembled and ready to use. I tried it out three ways on the very first day at the park. 1st, the hip carrier as I rushed around getting the other four kids out of the door for the park. I absolutely loved this version, as I was able to carry the baby on my hip and I did feel as if the hip carrier was high quality as it gave me comfort and lifted him up on my hip. 2nd, I used the backpack version once I got to the park and hit the trails. It was a little tricky to get him in there without the help of my two teens. I turned the hip portion towards me fit him into the harness and then attempted to turn the hip portion toward my back as I slid my arms into the backpack. Baby wobbled and could have gotten hurt if not for my teens. once on the back though, I love the way the carrier distributed the weight. However, I do not recommend using the carrier on your back without the hip seat. Your back will thank you. The carrier alone is not sufficient for a toddler, like my 12-month-old. 3rd, I tried the hip carrier with the seat belt. I must say, it was interesting. But it does work and keeps baby safe if you have one that loves to make drastic sudden movements. The seat belt gives you time to catch your little one. Your arm of course should always be around your LO, however, LOs can be pretty fast and clever. I personally didnt like this way too much as I could not put him up and down without detaching and reattaching the belt. I also thought wearing the hip seat in front of you was unsafe. My son began to slide forward and I didnt feel the same comfort as when it was worn on the side. It was awkward and unsupportive of us both. Sure it would work along with the carrier function, just not worn in front of you without the carrier function. All-in-all, I love it so far. Only time will tell how well it holds out. The hat function was also nice when my son was sleepy on the trail. He did not like it at first, but it soon wore on him.

I wish I had purchased this sooner! I love that there are other carrying options too, making it well worth the money!

This carrier is definitely convenient and comfortable. The mesh material on the inside is so breathable. The buckles feel well secured and sturdy. Ive pinched myself quite a few times because the buckles snap into place so quickly and tightly.

This carrier has the hip seat and has baby up to toddler carrying! 12 different ways for all the stages! This was great value for the money! We love the mumgaroo!

This is an excellent carrier because it can be used for a newborn and parents can continue to use this until their child is a toddler. There are a myriad of ways that this can be used, and the inside padding is perfect and provides a soft area for the baby to recline. The fabric is lightweight and the material is breathable so it doesnt cause skin irritation on the carrier. I tried this different ways and I found this well-made. I think it will last beyond the three years or so that my grandson will need it!

Well designed, well made baby carrier. The color is great! I love that this is multi-function: front facing out, front facing in, back carry, hip seat facing out, hip seat facing in and hip seat lying. It’s well cushioned and offers adjustments to get the perfect fit. It also seems very breathable.
