Bebamour Baby Carrier Newborn to Toddler-2 in 1 Hip Seat & Carrier Front and Back Carry with Head Hood & 3 Pieces Teething Pads& Waist Extenders & Storage Bag 0-36 Months (Yellow)

I wanted to get a hip belt seat for carrying my baby, even just wearing around the house, so as to lessen the strains on my hip and arms when taking baby from room to room and so forth. There are so many options on Amazon, and so many with similar price range and ratings, that I decided to test out a variety. I got 12 options to try - All have hip belt option functionality, but they differ in that some also had a supportive shoulder strap for mom, some have added "seatbelt" for baby, some had option to become full-body/hands-free baby carriers, some had more pockets than others etc.I compared them based on look and feel of materials quality; buckle, strap, velcro and zipper quality and function; pocket functionality/practicality; comfort of wearing the belt/harness; comfort for baby (i.e. hip seat padding etc); ease of getting the belt/harness on and off and ease of getting baby in and out of it. The 12 I tested were from the following brands: Sunevo, BabyMust, Cloud Mom Inc., Gabesy, Bebamour, Zooawa, N++A, Tico, DaDa, Talenbeen,Mumgaroo, and Growns.In the end, the one I decided to keep was by brand Bebamour.Here is my review for this belt...Bebamour hip seat with optional full body carrierMaterials are very nice, though thin - but this makes it definitely more breathable than pricier Tula carrier I have. I like how light weight it is. I like that it comes with a few color/pattern options to choose from. Soft padded seams around leg holes are well placed and add to baby's comfort. Having only one pocket that's pretty small is sort of a shame. Zipper is smooth but a little flimsy due to choice of pocket fabric, so its somewhat hard to operate one-handed when holding baby hip-seat style, but not impossible. Seat is a little more narrow than some other models tested, but still is ok for my 6mo. old and spreads baby's hips wide as it should for their growth/developmental well-being. Seat insert is a solid foam block, which is more comfortable against the wearer's hip than the models tested that have plastic or wire frames. The included teething bibs are a VERY handy and nice touch! Keeps baby from just chewing the carrier itself, and they are removable and washable. The fabrics are all very soft. Texturized straps help keep them from slipping out of your desired adjustment and they're made of tough material like hiking backpacks use. Baby enjoys front face carry option but it's definitely going to be more applicable to slightly larger child because they slouch a bit right now and there's no way to tighten it further that would be comfortable for either of us. When shoulder straps are tightened to where they need to be for my wear, it's a little tricky to reach the back neck clasp to undo and redo the carrier myself, but I can still manage to do it, and I have short arms so that's saying something. The Hip-seat-only option is nice because it doesn't have lots of pockets and dangly things hanging off of it to get in the way. Upper harness portion has safety feature of velcro over zipper to keep it from accidentally coming undone, and yet is easy enough to take apart when desired and was easy enough to reattach. Mesh being the primary outer fabric of the whole design could make it a bit more susceptible to getting snagged and ripped - so maybe best to just wear this belt around town and such, and if you're gonna garden or go out in the woods maybe wear a carrier that's a bit more rugged? The only reason I don't give it five stars is because I wish the pocket was a little bit bigger and that the zipper for it was a little more rigid for operating purposes, and I wish I could feel more confident that the mesh material wouldn't get snagged on anything. However, in the end, this carrier was the keeper for me after all 12 models tested.

I love this carrier! My other carrier was not fitting right and uncomfortable for me and my daughter. She used to scream when I would put her in the other one but this one she is happy in. This one fits amazing! Super comfy and great support. My daughter looks relaxed and the seat provides so much extra support. I love how you can unzip the carrier part and just wear the seat for around the house to save your back while carrying around your baby. My daughter is 1 year old 24 lbs and 31 inches. I wore this for hours the other day and had no sore back during or afterwards. Totally worth the money! Also love the cute design and a little zipper pocket on the band. My only complaint is it’s a bit hard to get the back strap buckled by yourself because you have to reach around and clip it behind your back. Maybe there is an easier way that I’m not aware of.

I love that this has the hip seat with it that you can use separately when your baby is older, if needed. I've also used the hip seat as support when I'm breastfeeding my 5 week old. The only thing I dislike is that it can't be used as a sling across the front of you on one shoulder when you have a 1 month old who only prefers being held across the front of you diagonally.

I love baby wearing. I have tried 5 baby carriers and this is by far my most favorite. It’s easy to put on, adjust, and get baby in and out. It takes the weight off your shoulders with the hip support, and when babe wants to face outward it takes the weight off your arms entirely with the hip carrier part. This is definitely a grow with baby carrier - and I wish I would’ve come across this carrier sooner. I wouldn’t recommend this for newborns, but my son is two months old and I think it’s the perfect time to start with this carrier.

As someone whose baby wants to be attached to me 24/7, I’ve used SO many carriers - babybjorn mini, babybjorn one, lalabu kerrier, wraps, slings, Thule sapling backpack carrier, etc. This carrier is by far the most versatile and most importantly - comfortable! I’ve tried all of positions that it offers and love them all. The hip carrier is so handy to just keep on while cooking, cleaning etc, when your babe wants to be held, then put down, then held (then put down, AGAIN). As you can see from the photo, my snoozing 11 month old also enjoys it. Just get it, you back and your baby will thank you.

I am a 16 size pant so pretty large and it fit around me, even came with and extender just in case. Baby loves it and very nice to have to get some chores done around the house.

Love it! The only thing that probably will take a moment to do is putting the baby in the carrier when carrying on the back side

While I was excited that this offered 6 positions, and could be just a hip carrier if I needed it, I mostly wanted it because I needed a carrier that supported carrying my LO on my back.Back carrying: Not for us. Another person needs to assist you in putting in the baby, which is fine, but the baby’s arms should be under the straps. My LO got their arm free within 2 min & just made us feel uncomfortable about keeping them in it.Quality: Very nice! I like the fabric, very breathable and soft. I like the extra bibs and the sun cover.Instructions: Taking off a star here because, while things are numbered with a description, there’s no matching part to help identify it on the product. (See picture)Overall: Very nice and versatile for the price, but not a good match for our family.

Not great as described

Way better than our previous carrier. Lot less weight on tha back. We just received It but we’re already loving it.
