What is a hip baby carrier?

Between arms and floor exploration

The hip baby carrier is a physiological baby carrier designed for easily carrying your baby or toddler from 9 months to 4 years old. Placed on the side, the child is held in a comfortable hammock that respects the physiological M-position, while distributing the weight between the wearer's hip and shoulder to relieve the arms.

Compact, simple, and quick to use, simply slip the Swing over your shoulder and place your baby inside. The child also benefits from a great view of the world and can easily observe their surroundings. The hip carrier is ideal for short outings or occasional carrying needs thanks to its practicality and speed of use.

Swing

Quickly switch between arms and the ground!

Babies grow quickly; they want to discover the world and gain independence, but they still need to be held regularly.

From 9 months to approx. 20 kg

As soon as baby can sit up unaided and for as long as both carrier and child are comfortable.

Coton Oeko-Tex

Up to XL or size 42/44

Your ideal ally for outings.

The Swing is designed to be worn on the hip with ease. Compact and easy to use, it fits everywhere and makes walks more pleasant, especially when baby often alternates between being carried and exploring on the ground.

A few seconds

Sling carry

Unlike other single straps on the market, the Swing's strap is ergonomic and spreads out over the shoulder for better weight distribution. There's no strap across the wearer's back, but a padded strap that provides greater comfort.

Who is the Swing hip baby carrier for?

The physiological hip carrier Swing is designed for parents of babies from 9 months old, when their arms start to get tired but the child still demands to be carried a lot. It is the ideal complement to a baby carrier for long periods like the Exquis: perfect for short trips and everyday moments — dropping off at daycare, going to the doctor, running an errand, or calming them down to sleep. It is also very suitable for toddlers who alternate between walking and asking to be carried, while offering easy, comfortable, and trendy carrying (yes, that counts too!)

The strap of our hip baby carrier

Because carrying a growing baby can quickly become uncomfortable... we've thought of everything (and especially you!): the outside of the Swing's shoulder strap is padded and the inside is fabric for optimal support. Unlike the simple straps available on the market, the Swing's shoulder strap is ergonomic and spreads out over the shoulder for better weight distribution. There is no strap on the wearer's back, but a padded shoulder strap that provides more comfort.

How to install your Bud & Blossom hip baby carrier?

Our Swing, or sling baby carrier, does not require mastering a particular carrying technique. You can install, adjust, and uninstall your baby in a few seconds! For even greater ease, follow our step-by-step instructions in our tutorial videos.

Vos questions

  • A hip carrier (or sling carrier) is an occasional baby carrier that positions the baby on the wearer's side, on the hip. It allows for ultra-fast fitting and is ideal for short outings. The Swing Bud & Blossom is an ergonomic hip carrier that respects the baby's M-position, even in a side position.

  • Yes, provided you choose the right model. The Swing Bud & Blossom was designed with babywearing professionals to ensure the baby's M-position even in the hip position: knees above hips, supported back, tilted pelvis. The bonus: we think as much about the comfort of the baby as the wearer! The strap spreads over the shoulder for optimal comfort. To learn more, consult our physiological babywearing guide.

  • The Swing and a classic carrier (like the Exquis) are complementary, not competitors. The Swing is ideal for quick everyday outings, daycare, shopping, and toddlers who alternate between walking and being carried. The Exquis, on the other hand, excels in long walks and extended carries. Many Bud & Blossom parents use both depending on the situation.

  • The Swing is made of OEKO-TEX® certified cotton, free from harmful chemicals for babies' sensitive skin. The material has been selected to be lightweight, breathable, soft, durable, and absolutely optimal for babywearing.

  • The Swing is worn on one shoulder; choose the one that feels most comfortable (you can alternate without any problem if you wish).

  • The Swing hip carrier is recommended from 9 months, when baby can sit up unaided. The hip position requires baby to have good back and neck muscle tone; the age may vary depending on each child's development.

  • Hip carrying is designed for short to medium outings (shopping, commuting, doctor's appointments, naps, walks). It is less suitable for carrying for several hours, as it distributes the weight laterally for the wearer. For long outings, we recommend combining it with the Exquis, our ergonomic baby carrier for extended carrying.

  • Absolutely (and fortunately!). The Swing easily adjusts to different body types and sizes. The shoulder strap is adjustable to fit each wearer's build. It can be passed from one parent to another in a few seconds. Compact, it easily fits into a small bag – ideal for parents who take turns throughout the day.

  • The Swing can be set up in under 30 seconds: simply sling it diagonally, position the baby on your hip, and adjust the tension. No knots, no complex clips. For beginners, a video tutorial is available on our learning page.

  • The sling (ring sling) is a long piece of fabric that can be worn on the hip, but also on the front or as a hammock – it is very versatile and recommended from birth. The Swing hip carrier, on the other hand, is a structured solution, specifically designed for hip carrying, quicker to set up and ideal from 9 months. Both are complementary in the Bud & Blossom range.

  • Yes, the Swing is very compact. It fits everywhere, making it a practical everyday ally.
