Guide to Wearing the Hipsy Carrier
STEP 1
Prepare the Carrier
Place carrier over preferred shoulder and adjust the strap at the front and back by pulling the webbing through the clips. Allow enough space to comfortably position the carrier around you and your child.
STEP 2 (STANDING)
Seat your Child - Standing
For children who can stand independently, place the carrier over your head and guide your child into the seat, positioning their bottom in the centre before lifting them into position.
STEP 2 (CARRYING)
Seat your Child - Carrying
For children not yet standing independently, place infant over your shoulder. Lower them into the carrier, guiding their bottom into the centre of the seat.
STEP 3
Adjust for Comfort
While supporting your child’s weight, gently pull the excess webbing through the clips until your child is comfortably seated high on your hip. Ensure the webbing is evenly adjusted on both sides. Cup the strap over your shoulder for balanced support and comfort.
STEP 4
Check Seated Position
Your child should be seated comfortably in the carrier in an "M" position. Their legs should be bent at the knees with the edge of the seat at their knee-pit and their weight resting in their bottom.
