  • Many baby carriers can cause back pain, especially if they’re not properly fitted. It’s made worse for those with existing back pain.
  • Featuring a patented HIPBELT hip seat design, our Huggs® Hip Seat Baby Carrier is the best ergonomic baby carrier, preventing hip dysplasia and providing all-day comfort for caregivers.
  • Enjoy more versatility with the best baby carrier for bad backs, our Huggs® baby carrier. It allows for a variety of carrying positions for you and your baby’s needs: on your back, on your hip, with baby front-inward, and with baby front-outward.

There are many benefits of using a baby carrier, from providing emotional security for your little one to increased bonding. Unfortunately, many baby carriers can cause back pain or injuries, especially for new parents or caregivers. This is made even worse for those with pre-existing back pain or conditions. While this pain may be caused by incorrect positioning, it’s often due to carriers lacking lumbar support and proper weight distribution, putting added stress on your shoulders and back. 

Our Huggs® carrier at Abiie® is designed with you and your baby’s comfort in mind, offering features for back support, added security, and versatility. Learn more about why Huggs® is the best baby carrier for bad backs and all-day comfort.

Crisscross Strap Design

The best baby carrier for back pain, our innovative Huggs® baby hip carrier features a crisscross strap design as opposed to a traditional two-strap backpack design. These straps distribute your baby’s weight evenly across your back and shoulders, which can be beneficial for long carrying periods and minimising back pain. This also helps you maintain good posture while carrying.

The adjustability and padding of our carrier’s straps provide additional comfort.

Patented HIPBELT Hip Seat Design

One of the main reasons our Huggs® carrier is the best ergonomic baby carrier for bad backs is its patented HIPBELT hip seat design. Certified by the International Hip Dysplasia Institution, our carrier features an ergonomic design with M-seating position that prevents hip dysplasia. You can rest assured your baby will be snug and secure with Huggs®.

Our carrier provides comfort for you, too. You can adjust the carrier to sit just above your hips so your lower body carries more weight than your back, shoulders, and neck. This helps prevent and minimise pain commonly associated with baby carriers. The padded design also assists with lumbar support, making it the best baby carrier for bad backs and back pain.

Versatile Carrying Positions

Parents and caregivers with bad backs must prioritise carriers that not only provide weight distribution but also offer versatile carry options. This often means choosing carriers that allow for back carrying. Back carrying is generally better than front carrying for back support, especially as your child gets heavier. This carrying position distributes their weight across your torso and hips, reducing strain on your back, neck, and shoulders.

The hip carry may also provide a more comfortable experience. This position distributes your baby’s weight across the hips and core, taking pressure off your shoulders and back. It can also encourage a more upright posture, reducing pain associated with hunching and leaning while carrying your little one.

However, we know that every caregiver has varying comfort levels. That’s why, as the best ergonomic baby carrier for bad backs, Huggs® offers multiple carrying positions. Our six different options include:

  • Front carry – baby inward (3 to 24 months)
  • Front carry – baby outward (6 to 18 months)
  • Back carry (6 to 48 months)
  • Crisscross carry (6 to 48 months)
  • Hip carry – front-inward (3 to 36 months)
  • Hip carry – front-outward (6 to 36 months)

Consider your baby’s age and listen to your body’s needs to determine your perfect carrying position.
