Recommendations for carrying toddler on my hip?

post #1 of 6

What carrier would you mamas recommend for a toddler (13 months, 25 pounds) who likes being on my hip? I would love to be able to have him on my hip and have my hands (relatively) free. Thanks in advance!

There are others that may be better for hip carry but I always go back to my Scootababy. It is just so darn easy. It's the simplicity of the design.

I love a ring sling for hip carries.  I also have owned an Ellaroo Mei Hip which was awesome but of course limited you to hip carries only.

I also really like the Scootababy for hip carries, as it find it to be more supportive than a ring sling.

Thanks for your replies!

I'm looking at a Scootababy for my same-age baby. I can do a hip carry in our Ergo, mei tai and ring sling, but it's not ideal. I really don't like hip carries in a ring sling. They're okay if I'm just popping into the grocery store or something, but for anything more than 10 minutes, I don't care for them. They feel like they require frequent adjustment. A hip carry in an Ergo is honestly kind of ridiculous, but is definitely less fiddly than in a RS.
