During our emigration with a 10-week-old (18+ hours in transit), Hackerlily became our most-valued item. It’s still delivering now, four months postpartum: by redistributing load, it improves carry mechanics, eases my right “mum thumb” (de Quervain’s), and reduces neck/shoulder tension. The lighter perceived load allows for a neutral posture and better pressure management over long stretches. (Prolapse patients may choose to rather wear it over their hips as opposed to in your waist). Now that my little one is 7 kg, I can still feed while standing without bearing their full weight or contorting into awkward positions. And for what it’s worth, my husband won’t let us leave home without it. Thoughtful, symptom-friendly, and genuinely practical.

You have no idea how much the hipsurfer has helped my back. I can go out to do shopping and just everyday living without stressing as much on how much I need to bring. I am also able to hold my daughter a lot longer and she definitely enjoys being in it, especially her being so curious about the world we love the fact that we can change her position anytime and with no hassle.

We love our Hackerlily hipsurfer. So handy when doing trips to the shops and when we're flying. I'm a single mamma so I already have my hands full so this help so much. Look how much luggage I can easily handle on my own.

I have a cheap amazon hipster made in china so was hesitant on buying a hackerlily as the other one ‘did the job’. Oh my goodness, I see what I have been missing!! This is such great quality and very well thought out. Love mine!

Our hip surfer has easily become an essential every day item we use. It’s kept in the car so we never forget it. We use it for day trips to places like the markets or theme park, but also really helpful when we need to quickly run into Coles. We’ve used it for travelling on the plane as well and it’s super easy and helpful when flying solo

Wow, this is a game changer! Before we talk comfort, let’s talk storage and practicality 11/10! Being able to hold items for a nappy change, phone, keys, cash, snacks allowing you to be hands free is INSANE!

Now for comfort, the ease of putting on the Hip Surfer is amazing and I can instantly feel the support it gives to my back and hips.

The clever way it distributes the weight of your child is a credit to the design. Such a compact piece that you will find your child asking to use!

Well done on creating such a practical product.

I love my Hip Surfer! My 16-month-old is getting heavy, and with a bad back and a wrist injury, I’ve really struggled to carry him comfortably. This has already made such a difference. It feels so much easier on my body, and my toddler is happy to be up and close with me without all the strain. I also love how practical it is; lightweight, simple to use, and the perfect size to tuck under the pram so it’s always handy for quick trips or outings. The quality and design are excellent, and I can see myself using this for a long time. I’d definitely recommend it to any parent who needs a bit of extra support carrying their little one.

Honestly, the Hackerlily Hipsurfer has been such a lifesaver! It’s easily in my top 3 must have items for every parent. I use it every single day with both my 11-month-old and my 3-year-old, and it works brilliantly for both. Daycare drop-offs are no longer a juggling act, I just pop it on in 5 seconds (literally) I’m good to go. No more fighting with straps and clips like a traditional carrier. You feel so well supported around the lumbar region. Plus, the storage is amazing. I can throw in my phone, keys, and even a spare nappy and wipes without needing an extra bag. It’s one of those things I wish I had from day one of parenting. Total game changer and I can’t stop showing it off at all my mum-outings. Shipping was super fast too. Support local and support another mum who’s making a great impact in the baby industry!

I have a lot of back issues that have been lifelong and now that I am on my 4th baby, I am finding that the back pain is a lot more constant. Flare ups are a regular thing for me unfortunately and add in a lack of core strength, I am a ticking time bomb for my next flare. My 17 month old LOVES to be held and I spend most of my day carrying her on my hip or in the baby carrier - unfortunately I was starting to notice that I was getting tingling arms when wearing my baby carrier and I think it was due to my daughter’s weight pulling on my shoulders and it was also causing back pain which definitely isn’t ideal. I had been a fan of Hackerlily for a long time but wasn’t sure if it was the right product for me but I thought why not give it a go as it was something that I didn’t need to wear on my shoulders. As soon as I tried the HipSurfer on for the first time, I felt a weight (literally haha) lifted - I was two weeks post a huge flare up of my back and it was the first time in those two weeks that I wasn’t stressing over the pain to hold her, it felt comfortable to hold her and the pain was a distant memory. I was shocked. The HipSurfer helps keep me upright rather than slouching and helps give me the support around my core that I desperately need at the moment. I get pain in my upper thighs just under my hips also but while I am holding my daughter when wearing the HipSurfer, I can’t feel it - the pressure that is taken off my lower back, hips and thighs is actually insane. I ended up with De Quervain’s, after my third daughter, in my left wrist (which is the side I mostly hold my children on) and had noticed it was starting to hurt again recently while carrying my 4th daughter. When she is on the HipSurfer, I can comfortably rest my wrist while still holding her securely. Laura’s design of the HipSurfer is truly game changing and it is an absolutely beautiful product and fantastic quality. The HipSurfer has 100% extended the time I will be able to carry my daughter over the next few years and as my last baby, that’s something I am even more grateful for. If you have been on the fence about getting a HipSurfer, please take this as your sign that it is worth it - the relief I feel when holding my daughter now and not being scared because of the pain, is incredible.
