Alta Hip Seat All-Position Breathable Mesh Hip Seat & Carrier, Natural Beige

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.

We had the Omni strap but the baby was not happy in it from the beginning. This hip sitter is much better supported and he's very relaxed in it. Our boy is now around 18lb, and we found this sitter provides much better support for the adult as well, guess it spreads the weight to the hip. The sitter itself is easy to put on by myself, but the shoulder strap requires some help from my wife. The adjustment for the sitter and the shoulder strap are very good and it's easy to get into snug position. This is our go-to setup for morning/evening strolls, very satisfied.

I got this hip seat + carrier combo to help with the back strain I was experiencing while carrying my toddler—especially during daycare drop-offs and longer outings. As a hip carrier, it does exactly what it’s supposed to: it shifts the weight to your hips, reducing pressure on the upper body and making carrying more manageable. What I especially like about this carrier is the seat itself. It’s wide, supportive, and provides a secure, comfortable spot for my toddler to sit. Compared to other brands I’ve tried—where the seat is often narrow or slopes downward—this one features a flatter, more spacious platform that keeps my child well-positioned and at ease. The structure of the seat also feels solid and reliable. Unlike some designs that use only a hard top layer with a hollow compartment underneath (to double as storage), this seat is fully reinforced throughout. That likely explains why this carrier includes just a small pocket and no major storage compartments—and honestly, I’m fine with that. The main goal here is comfort and support, and in that regard, it absolutely delivers. That said, while it’s definitely more ergonomic than holding my child in my arms or using a traditional soft carrier, I did notice that—like most hip carriers—it can become a bit uncomfortable after prolonged use or extended walking. It’s not painful, but the weight distribution does start to put some pressure on the hips over time. This seems to be a common trade-off with hip seat carriers in general, not something unique to this model. What I really like: • The seat design — it’s wide, flat, and provides excellent support. My toddler sits comfortably and securely without slipping or tilting forward, unlike other carriers I’ve tried with narrower or more angled seats. The base is solid all the way through (not hollow or storage-based), which gives me more confidence while using it. • Weight capacity up to 45 lbs — perfect for extending the life of the product as my toddler grows. • Dual functionality — it comes with a carrier attachment included (unlike other brands where that’s a separate purchase), making it more versatile when I want to go hands-free. • Ideal for older babies — I wish I had this when my baby was 6 months+ and able to sit up. It would’ve been such a game-changer. • Adjustable fit — the waist belt accommodates a wide range of body types, which is great for sharing between caregivers. A few things to note: • Out of the box, the waist straps are quite large, and I initially thought it wasn’t suited for smaller waists. While I eventually figured out it is adjustable, tightening the strap caused it to bunch up awkwardly and look messy, no matter how I adjusted it. • To fix this, I fully unbuckled the waist strap, adjusted the length to fit my waist, then re-buckled it. I also discovered that instead of threading the excess strap outside (as it comes originally), you can loop the extra length inward to keep it hidden. This solved the bunching issue entirely. • That said, I really wish the carrier came with clear instructions on how to properly adjust the waist strap. It’s versatile enough to fit both large and small waist sizes, but figuring that out took some unnecessary trial and error. • The adjustment buckle is quite rigid, so making real-time adjustments—especially while holding your child—is nearly impossible. I either have to get help or make sure everything is fitted properly in advance. Final Thoughts: This is a well-designed and practical carrier for parents of older babies and toddlers. The breathable mesh is a plus, and while it doesn’t offer extra storage space beyond the small pocket, the solid, thoughtfully constructed hip seat more than makes up for it. If you’re debating between a hip seat and a full carrier, this is a solid hybrid option that delivers on comfort, support, and long-term value.

La mejor compra, feliz con mi bebé en brazos y super cómoda.

My husband was skeptical about this but we both love it. It feels very sturdy, good quality and the baby loves it. Saves my arms from carrying around a sometimes clingy baby all day. Easier and more versatile for walking around the house than a full carrier. Wouldn't recommend for longer walks.

Súper compra y súper cómodo, lo recomiendo. Llego en excelentes condiciones y súper rápido

My baby did not care for the fist regular Ergobay carrier we had. She was always upset and not wanting to stay in. She absolutely loves his carrier and I believe it’s because of the seat! It is surprisingly comfortable for me to wear as well! So glad I purchased this! It is not usable without the shoulder straps (as a hip only) as I find the seat digs into my hips. But I have been using it with the straps and it’s been a game changer!
