Flying with a toddler? Take the weight off.
Airports are one long carry-athon. The HipSurfer is the doctor-approved travel baby carrier and bum bag in one: a hipseat that keeps your child close and the strain off your back, from the security queue to the theme park at the other end.
Little legs give out around gate 42
Terminals stretch for miles. The pram won't fit the aisle. The queue is long and the seat is tiny. And somewhere in it, your toddler decides they are done walking. It is the short, repetitive carries that wreck your back, and there are dozens of them on a travel day. This is exactly where a good baby carrier for the airport earns its place.
Seat for them. Relief for you.
The HipSurfer is a doctor-approved hipseat baby carrier and bum bag in one, built for travel. A wide, padded waistband redistributes your child's weight onto your hips instead of your arms, wrists and back. No shoulder straps. On in about 15 seconds. Built-in storage for the passports and snacks. Made for the up-down-up rhythm of a real travel day.
Where it earns its spot
Swipe through the real moments the HipSurfer was built for, from wheels up to wheels down.
The long walk to the gate
Terminals stretch for miles and little legs give out fast. The weight sits on your hips, not your arms.
Straight through the scanner
Nothing over the shoulders to unclip. No buckle-wrestling while the queue moves.
The delayed-gate meltdown
A supportive seat for rocking and settling an overtired kid when there is nowhere to sit.
Feeding and settling on board
A ledge for feeding, rocking and cuddles in a cramped seat, essentials in the built-in storage.
Up for the queue, down for the ride
The short, repetitive carries are the ones that wreck you. This keeps them off your arms.
Hand it to the grandparents
Adjusts to any body in seconds, so you can swap the carry without refitting straps.

Parents who stopped dreading the carry
The only baby carrier I've used that doesn't hurt my back. An overwhelming sense of gratitude.
I bought the cheap hipseat and had instant regret. Then I got the HipSurfer. I just wish I got it earlier.
As soon as I tried it on for the first time, I felt a weight (literally haha) lifted.
