The ergonomic hipseat: The ergonomic design of our innovative HipSurfer absorbs the full weight of your baby and ensures that their hips are always in the optimal hip healthy position, promoting healthy hip development. Better health, less pain and strain for you! No longer will you need to pop out your hip, creating a shelf for your bub to sit on.
Innovative waistband and belt: The strap-free, super simple carrier evenly distributes your baby’s weight - so you can carry your little one closer for longer and without pain or strain. Easily adjusted to suit 8-20 Australian sized adults (may go to 24 I need to double check)
Four carry positions: Your HipSurfer allows for four different carry positions which can be adjusted within seconds to suit your (and baby's) comfort and preferences. The newborn/breastfeeding hold (from birth), the side carry, carry facing in or carry facing out.
Interchangeable covers: This world first innovation gives you the freedom to style your carrier in line with your outfit, occasion, mood and overall style each day. Your ideal accessory for twinning Mummy & Me outfits. If you’re living your best #instamum life then you’ll love this option.
Savvy storage: The HipSurfer is a baby carrier and mini bum bag in one. With just enough space for a few nappies, mini wipes, snacks and sunglasses in the zipped pocket beneath the seat. Safely stash your card, keys, phone, lip gloss and dummies in the side pockets. Securely attach toys, muslins and teething rings so you don’t lose your stuff whilst on the go.
Hidden mesh bottle holder: Stash a bottle for on-the-go feeds in the mesh bottle holder hidden behind the zipped pocket and slide it back in when finished. Winning!
Stylish patterns and colours for covers: No rainbows or fluffy bunnies here. Feel your authentic self even when you have a little co-pilot. New designs will be released regularly in line with fashion styles, trends, seasons and design collabs.
Hard wearing material: The HipSurfer is crafted from stain-resistant, durable, washable and hard-wearing polyester. Designed for years of use for the whole family and sourced ethically and as sustainably as possible by our partners.
Easily washable: The covers wash super easily and the whole HipSurfer can be washed on a low temp if there are any spills or whoopsies.
We are delighted to have received phenomenal feedback and recommendations from the following health practicioners in Australia:
FOR PARENTS & CARERS
It’s a medical fact, carrying your growing children (especially as a new mother or grandparent) can cause injury and long-term chronic pain, if the cause of the condition is not treated.
Common conditions that the HipSurfer can aid, reduce, improve or prevent include:
Spinal Curvature:
We’ve all seen the mum in the park popping her hip out to carry her toddler - now imagine doing that 100 times a day for 3-9 years. That has got to do some kind of chronic, long-term damage right?
The HipSurfer has been designed to reduce the ‘hip-pop’ and to improve posture and overall spine and back health in carers.
Dr Jacey says 'The HipSurfer provides a beautiful merriment of caring for your spine as a parent and supporting your child to have a freedom and flexibility they need."
"As a Chiropractor I am constantly working with parents who have created a ‘sway’ in their lumbar spine from constantly holding their baby on one hip. These postural imbalances lead to stress and strain that can affect function and also be painful.
The HipSurfer provides parents with a thick comfortable belt that distributes the weight well. Allowing the parent to remain in a more neutral position. Because it provides such good support for the child, it also means parents can then start to practice holding the child on the other side. Chiropractors always love balancing out patterns and habits like this. It’s good for the body and also good for the brain!"
RSI’s:
Brock Smith, Brisbane based physio says: a sudden increase in lifting can cause overuse injuries (RSI) in the elbow, thumb, back, neck, shoulders, forearms and other susceptible areas.
Solution: The HipSurfer’s ergonomic design allows the baby to rest their full weight on the hipseat, allowing the parent to rest their lower back, arms, shoulders, wrists and fingers. By reducing the action and impact of gripping and holding the child’s total weight, this will in turn reduce the chance of an RSI.
SJI:
Hormones are released in pregnancy which cause ligaments to relax in preparation for childbirth. Unfortunately this can also cause some joints to move more than what they are meant to - SJI is one example of this. The Sacro-iliac joint sits at the base of the spine. Normally this has very minimal movement, although during pregnancy it can move more and cause irritation, shooting pain and swelling in the area. This irritation can then be exaggerated when carrying a new baby on the hip"
Solution: Brock recommends the HipSurfer to any new mum who is facing challenges with overuse injuries like SJI to trial off-loading the painful area - reducing the pain stress and allowing some time to heal.
The HipSurfer can help with treating the underlying cause to a range of injuries facing new mums and other parents. By relieving the cause of pain by using the HipSurfer, it can mean less costs in attending appointments and more time spent at home with your bub. Who wouldn’t want that?
It is recommended to talk to your Physio to see if this product is right for you"
FOR BABIES
The HipSurfer supports the healthy M position for babies (this is where their knees are above their bum) and helps reduce the cause and recovery of overuse injuries related to baby carrying.
No longer will you be permanently fixed in the popped-out-hip, weird curved back, baby hanging off you, kinda struggling #mumsstance.
Dr Ali Young Says: "As a parent who had a child with hip dysplasia, I wish I had this product to help with carrying my little girl."
"As a practitioner, I love the design and the angle of the hips around the mother, the support it offers, and the ability to have an attached parenting style whilst still maintaining the integrity of the child's hip function."
Hard Wearing Material: The HipSurfer is crafted from stain-resistant, durable, washable and hard-wearing polyester. Designed for years of use for the whole family and sourced ethically and as sustainably as possible by our partners.
Easily Washable: The covers wash super easily and the whole HipSurfer can be washed on a low temp if there are any spills or whoopsies.

The HipSurfer is seriously a game changer for me. Ever since my bubba arrived, my wrists have been so sore! As soon as I put the HipSurfer on, my hands were so much more relaxed.
This is a carrier without all the weird straps around you, it makes it very easy (and quick) to change my baby from the siting position to the breastfeeding one or even from side to side… It really takes her dead weight off me so I can carry her longer.
Since my baby started walking, he no longer wants to be strapped into the carrier or pram. After trying the HipSurfer and realising how much pressure was taken off my wrist and how easy it was to hold our baby, it this product really is a no-brainer!

Pediatricians recommend a healthy seated “M” position when babies are being carried - and luckily for you, the HipSufer naturally promotes this through it's ergonomic design.
The “M” position means your little one’s knees should be sitting higher than their bum when they’re in the face-to-face and side carry position.
