Features You Will Love

The HipSurfer is packed with clever features to make everyday carrying easier, comfier, and more convenient — for newborns, toddlers and every “carry me!” moment in between.

Ergonomic Hipseat – Supports your baby’s hips in the healthy “M” position recommended by health professionals. The structured seat absorbs their weight so you’re not popping out your own hip like a human shelf. Better for their development, and way better for your back.

Strap-Free Waistband Design - No straps, no drama. The wide, padded waistband wraps around your waist and evenly distributes weight for pain-free carrying. One simple buckle, on in seconds. Fits AU sizes 6–18, with an optional extender for sizes up to AU 28.

Five Carry Positions – One carrier, five ways to wear: newborn hold / breastfeeding support (from birth), side carry (6+ months), facing in (4+ months), facing out (6+ months), and tummy time/burping support. Adjusts in seconds depending on your day (or your baby’s mood).

Built-In Bum Bag Storage – Holds the essentials so you can ditch the nappy bag. The zipped seat pocket fits nappies, wipes, snacks and sunnies. Side pockets keep your phone, keys, dummies and lip balm handy.

Toy Loop – Keep toys, teethers and muslins close and off the ground with the handy side loop.

Button & Loop Closure – Folds and fastens neatly for travel or storage when not in use.

Hidden Mesh Bottle Holder – A discreet pocket behind the seat stores a bottle for on-the-go feeds. Pop it out when you need it, slide it back in when you're done.

For Parents and 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."
