This is a must have purchase! We use ours daily and with a little koala baby that was not a fan of three other carriers we tried, the ease and flexibility of the hip surfer as well as not being restrained has our baby loving it and both my husband and I use it all the time. No back pain, I can’t imagine life without it and luckily I don’t have to! She’ll get so much use out of it as she continues to grow, soooo grateful this exists. Highly recommend you add this to your must-have baby item list as it just makes life and small trips, walks and around the house a million times easier. Super good quality, thoughtfully designed and well-made, really great customer service. Hope this helps others make the decision to get it too, it’ll be a good one!!
