Why Hackerlily?
Created by a mum on the Gold Coast who's been through the pain (literally) and designed something better.
Recommended by chiropractors, physios and osteos for protecting your back and supporting healthy hips.
Reduces strain on your back, shoulders and wrists, while supporting healthy hip positioning for babies – even those with hip dysplasia.
Use it from squishy newborn baby for sleep support right through to wriggly and adventurous toddler - lasts 3+ years, not just 3 months.
Meets global safety standards, with expert input from health professionals and real-life parents.
The HipSurfer has been recognised across Australia for doing what other carriers don’t - making parenting easier, lighter and a whole lot more comfortable.
We’re proud to be winners of:
✨ Bounty Parents Editors’ Choice Award
✨ AusMumpreneur Design Award
✨ AusMumpreneur Innovation Award
✨ Roar Awards Innovation Winner
✨ …and many more that celebrate real solutions for real parents.
Why it matters: these awards aren’t just shiny trophies, they’re proof that the HipSurfer delivers on comfort, innovation, and freedom.
Backed by health experts, loved by parents, and celebrated by industry leaders — this is the carrier that changes the game.
