Alta 2-in1 Hip Seat and Carrier - All-Position Breathable Mesh Baby Carrier for 4 Months to 48 Months (12lbs - 45lbs) - SoftFlex™ Mesh - Camel Brown

I’ve tried four different carriers, and this one is by far the best for my 10-month-old. She absolutely loves it — especially wearing it like a little backpack, which makes her giggle and feel secure. I use it everywhere: In the store Around the house While I’m cleaning or doing chores It’s comfortable for her and supportive for me, so I can wear her a long time without getting sore. The all-position design makes it easy to adjust between hip carry and fuller support, depending on what we’re doing that day. Overall, I’m really happy with this carrier and would recommend it to other parents looking for something versatile and easy to wear.

The Ergobaby Alta 2-in-1 Hip Seat and Carrier is honestly one of the best baby products I’ve purchased! The quality is outstanding sturdy, well-made, and extremely comfortable for both me and my baby. The hip seat feature makes a huge difference, especially during longer outings, because it takes so much pressure off my back and arms. The carrier itself is easy to adjust, supportive, and feels very secure. My baby loves sitting in it and stays calm and happy every time. I also love the breathable fabric and thoughtful design details. If you’re looking for a versatile, ergonomic, and genuinely useful carrier, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

This is the best carrier I have gotten. I have several others and I also returned one of them. I know the price of this is kinda high, but this is literally amazing!!! It’s so comfortable, and it’s really nice material. It’s very easy to figure out and use unlike some others. It fits great and I can adjust it to my waist band. I didn’t even look at the instructions and was able to figure it out . That’s how easy it was for me to get it sized and on. I love it and most importantly my baby loves it. She cries in a lot of them , she’ll cry if she doesn’t like certain things I get. She loved this carrier. I love how many ways you can do it. The last recent carrier I got was a Mumgaroo, and it was nice and all but the only thing that really worked well for my baby was the platform for her to sit on. There was so many straps and pieces I was trying to figure out. It’s also Velcro and i felt it wasn’t enough to stay put. I really liked the platform , and I pretty much only used that . So when I found this one but bigger , it got my attention. I also looked at the reviews and wanted to see what others think. After lots of reading and research , I finally decided to get this one. I’m so glad I did , because I love it , my baby loves it. It’s super nice , and so easy to put on . It’s got a buckle instead of that Velcro in the other. It’s so much more sturdier I feel. And my favorite part , the platform , it’s a bit bigger so my baby can have more room to sit. And as she grows, she can grow into it . I plan to keep this for future kids. I approve of this and so does my happy little baby😊 (It’s adjustable to so many different sizes) So whether you got a small waist like me , or you got a big waist , it can work for any. If you’re having trouble finding a good carrier , try this one ! The worst case scenario is it’s not for you, and just return it . But I Hope this review helps other moms who are struggling to find a carrier. Oh also , the only thing I do have to say is it can kinda cause back pain but I think all carriers do. Maybe it’s just me too since my back hurts from hunching all the time. Happy purchase and happy customer !

BUY IT!!! I stressed for weeks analyzing and comparing a bunch of them, wished I had bought it sooner. I have a cracked lumbar and regular carriers out pressure on my back and doesn’t matter how ergonomics they claim to be, they just killed me. This one is different, the seat helps so much with the weight distribution, it’s comfortable for me and the baby. Bottom line, we can finally snuggle, help release pressure of his head (no longer flat head, not a container baby which he was starting to be) It’s sooo comfortable, he falls asleep all the time and it’s so hard to put him down because he’s so comfortable and so am I, and i just don’t mind it and don’t have a heart to put him down. I feel like the pressure gets put more on the hips but not even much, it’s just perfect for someone whose back hurts. Lightweight but quite bulky, still don’t mind because it soooo functional. I use it primarily for our 4mo old and considering getting a second one for my 2yr old since it says it can be used up to age 4 or 45lbs. Trust me, it’s that good that I took the time to write this.

The Ergobaby Alta 2-in-1 Hipseat has some good qualities but also some drawbacks compared to other hipseats I’ve tried. On the positive side, the fabric feels high quality, the seat itself is sturdy and holds up well, and my baby sits comfortably when using the carrier. That said, it’s much bulkier and heavier than my Tushbaby, which makes it harder to stow away or bring along for quick trips. It only has one pocket, and it’s so small and tight that it’s not really useful for carrying essentials. I also find the adjustment system inconvenient—unlike Tushbaby, which uses Velcro so I can position and tighten the seat easily, this one requires unlooping the buckle through different holes to adjust the fit. Since both my husband and I use the hipseat, the lack of easy adjustability is frustrating. Overall, it’s a safe and sturdy option, but for convenience and daily use, I still prefer my Tushbaby.

Easy to put on, very comfortable to wear. We have tried many different baby carriers in the past and this one is probably the third or fourth and we use it the most. Highly recommend based on its quality and comfort not only for myself but for my baby.

I own multiple hip carriers – from the pricey Tushbaby to smaller $35 chinese brands – and I can confidently say this is the worst one I’ve ever used. I had high hopes because of Ergobaby’s reputation, but this was a massive disappointment from the moment I took it out of the box. 1. Terrible Fit – Even for Average-Sized People I’m 5’6", 125 lbs, size 4 – a totally average build – and this “all-position” hip seat simply does not fit. The waistband is so long that I can wrap it around my waist twice and still not buckle it securely. It seems designed only for much larger waist sizes, and without extra Velcro or adjustment options, smaller users are out of luck. 2. Poor Design – Awkward & Unstable The curved base forces you to wear it either on the side or directly in front (which only works if you have a belly to hold it in place). Otherwise, it slides or feels like it’s going to fall off. When I finally managed to tighten it enough to try it with my 30 lb, just-turned-3-year-old, it was instantly uncomfortable. 3. Heavy, Painful, & Zero Support Within minutes of walking, it felt like I was carrying a bag of bricks. My daughter blocked my forward vision when worn in front, so I shifted her to my side – which quickly became excruciating. The straps don’t relieve any weight, there’s minimal padding inside, and absolutely no lumbar support. My hip bone and lower back hurt after just 5 minutes of “testing,” let alone real use. 4. Child Comfort? Also Fails. The large padded seat was the only reason I bought this model, but even my toddler said, “It’s not comfortable.” For reference, she’s perfectly happy on the Tushbaby (which doesn’t hurt me either). Bottom Line: This is not the premium, ergonomic carrier I expected. Without significant design changes – better fit range, real lumbar support, more padding, and stability – it’s practically useless for toddlers or heavier babies. Maybe it’s passable for a newborn or under-2 baby, but for anyone else: DO NOT BUY. Save your money and your back.

It’s a well-made and high-quality carrier, but it feels a bit small for my three-year-old. The back support isn’t very comfortable for older toddlers. It would probably be better suited for younger babies.
