Three Assets In Using The Hip Seat

By Kate McMahon


When a person decides to carry a child using a hip seat, there are making use of a valuable asset. They are not only protecting their back and hips, but are also better able to communicate with their child. This is why baby carriers are becoming much less complicated to use which makes things easier for parents.

When one is involved in the day to day care of small children, it is important to preserve their health. When there is back pain, it is difficult to do the simplest of task on a day to day basis. Even though a child is smaller than an adult, lifting and carrying them all the time can be a strain for many people. This is one of the reasons why many people visit chiropractors.

Young children at about 1 year of age, tend to weigh twenty to twenty-three pounds on average. Carrying this weight around on a regular basis can put lots of strain on a person's back especially if they are older. This is one of the many reasons why doctors recommend hip seats, since it helps to make things easier for the parents. Besides simply carrying the child, one wants to be able to interact with them in a meaningful way.

When going for a walk outside, most parents use a stroller which makes it easy to get around. However, one is not able to interact with their child in this manner. If they want to talk to the child they would have to constantly go to the front of the stroller to talk to them and to see if they need anything.

If a parent decides to use a hip seat, this can make communication between parent and child much easier. They would be able to interact with them and teach them on a regular basis, especially if they are outside in a park as an example. Children who communicate with their parents at such a young age tend to develop intellectually at a faster rate than other children.

Another benefit to look for is the ease of use. Most people tend to be disappointed with various products because they are not easy to use. If a person is not able to use a product efficiently, then they are not going to use it. A hip seat is quite easy to use and can be cleaned in the washing machine.

So when the baby carrier is dirty, it is simply a matter of removing the seat and putting it in the washing machine. There are additional accessories that one can purchase if needed to help with extending the seat for extra comfort. There are also pockets which can help a person to be free to carry their child without carrying extra load that is not needed.

The hip seat can be very useful for those who feel the need to use it. Everyone has a different view on how a child should be carried and this has to be taken into consideration. However, one should always make sure that they are not making things unnecessarily difficult for themselves when it comes to carrying their child.
