I bought this for myself (grandma) but leave it at my daughter's house. Her baby is an adorable little CHUNK!!! As perfect as she is, my poor arms/wrists were killing me after babysitting and carrying her around!! This thing is a LIFESAVER!!! My daughter uses it all the time too!!! Just remember the baby isn't strapped in"¦they can slide off the padded seat if you don't keep hold of them!!! But it distributes the weight around you so you don't hurt your arms!! Zippered pockets for your phone, etc. are very convenient, but the main thing is the ease of carrying around that adorable little "dead weight!"

I bought this product after I saw it on instagram. It seemed expensive and I was hesitant to buy it but I was willing to give it a try due to a long delay in the LAX airport (my son doesn't like getting in and out of the stroller and gets super squirmy).

The tush baby is a game changer! My son is 32 pounds and it hurts my arms to carry him for long periods of time. I put him on the tush baby and it feels like I'm barely holding him. He also seems comfortable on it and doesn't ask to be put down (which is a great sign!). The pockets are deep and I can put his sippy cup and a small toy in the zipper area so I don't have to keep digging into our diaper bag. It's great for the airport and for waking down the aisle on the plane.

Definitely worth every penny and then some!

If you're on the fence about getting this because you have baby carrier already, I got this because my 7 month old daughter loves to be held for short periods at a time and loves to look around. I have the ergo baby carrier. I use it if I need to use both hands for something, but my daughter is satisfied with a quick carry of at least 10 min. The ergo baby can get us both hot and sweaty and it's a hassle to put on.

I've only had the tushbaby for over a week and I love it!

- so easy to put on; just wrap and snap. I can pick up my daughter and get moving. I can easily change positions from side hip, back facing on the chest, to forward facing; without having to put my daughter down.

- It is so light weight and comfortable that I've even left it on, even when I don't need to carry my daughter.

- It helps with my posture and acts as a back support. I love that all the baby weight is distributed on the hips. I carry a lot of stress on my shoulders so it's nice to not have to use my arms to carry 17lbs. There's also the benefit of not having to pop my hip out on one side to keep my daughter from sliding down.

- The pockets are so convenient and practical! There's a hoop to hang toys/pacifier clip, mesh pocket for bottles, deep pockets for diapers/wipes, and a small pocket for phone/keys!

This is such a well thought out design and the quality is top notch! Highly recommend!

My back and arm are so so happy I found this product as a mama to a very clingy 12 month old. They are hip dysplasia certified! Pockets are great for diapers,phone,small toy or 2. It is adjustable so different caregivers can use it! The overall quality of the material/functionality is well done! Bit of an investment personally but very much worth it in my opinion.

The material and quality is good I love that it has a bottle pockets and other storage pockets. But after putting it on yes it does take off a lot of pressure from your back but the belt seems to slip down a lot no matter how tight I put it. I even adjusted it above my hip and it keeps sliding down. Otherwise this product would have been great.
