Works great even before sitting down! How to use the hip seat from the newborn stage

``You can only use it after your back is sitting down.'' ``You can only use it after your child gets heavy.'' ``You don't know how heavy your child will be.'' For all you pregnant moms out there who think the hip seat has nothing to do with you, wait a minute. There is also a hip seat carrier that can be used from newborn babies and is recommended as a first baby carrier.
First of all, I'd like to introduce you to what ``hip seat'' is and how you can use the hip seat before ``hip seat''.

When is everyone buying hip seats?

Hip seats and hip seat carriers (carriers with hip seats) are popular because they allow you to carry your child relatively easily even when they grow heavier. The advantage is that it is comfortable even when the child is heavy, but I feel that this has been replaced by the idea that a hip seat is something you only need to prepare after your child gets too heavy.
In fact, many moms and dads seem to purchase a hip seat in addition to a baby carrier, or purchase a hip seat carrier as a second (or subsequent) baby carrier. Since many hip seats are targeted at 6 to 7 months after sitting on the hips, it is likely that people have come to recognize that there is no connection until then.
But actually, that's not necessarily the case.

First of all, what does "waist sitting" mean?

"Hip sitting" is a growth process of a baby. It's a phrase we often hear, but what kind of condition does ``sit down'' refer to?
In short, it means that your baby will be able to sit up on his own.

Newborn babies have underdeveloped muscles and bones, so they are unable to support themselves in an upright position. They can't even keep their heads straight, so when you hold them while breastfeeding, you need to support them by placing your hand on the back of their heads.

It is about 4 months after birth that your baby's neck will sit upright and his head will stop shaking. After another 2 to 3 months, the muscles in the back and hips will be fully developed and the baby will be able to sit upright.
Once your baby is seated, he or she will be able to sit up without support.
If you let your child sit on a flat surface, such as the floor, and they can sit on their own even if you take your hands off them, this is a sign that your back is sitting properly. To avoid falling and getting hurt, try it in a safe place with nothing around, and be ready to lend a helping hand in case of danger.

When is the hip seat useful?

The hip seat is convenient for holding your baby as you simply place your baby's butt on the base. The structure is simple and it is easy to put on, so it can be used easily when you want to comfort a restless child or when you want to hold a child for a short period of time, such as on a short trip. It is also very useful when your baby is just starting to walk and wants to walk on his own and repeatedly begs to be held.

It is also recommended for putting to bed. Since it only rests on the baby's butt, you can gently lower it down, reducing the worry of waking up your child.
If the product is compatible with side-carrying, it can be used as a support for side-carrying from the newborn stage, and is very convenient for putting babies to sleep and breastfeeding before they can sit upright.

A baby carrier with a hip seat (hip seat carrier) is not as easy as a single hip seat, but it is extremely stable. In addition to dispersing the weight between the waist and shoulders, by completely wrapping and holding the upper body, the center of gravity can be kept close to the mother's and father's trunks, making it relatively easy to hold the child even as the baby grows heavier.

Recommended hip seat carrier that can be used from the newborn stage

Some hip seat carriers are designed to combine multiple parts. By rearranging the parts, you can use it in several ways depending on the situation.
BABY&Me's "BELK-S first set" is one of them.

BELK-S first set consists of 3 items: carrier parts, hip seat, and first parts.
The carrier part is the part that covers the baby's upper body and can be called the body of the carrier. The first part is a waist belt type part that gently wraps and supports the baby's bottom, allowing newborn babies to be held safely.
Until around 4 months when the baby's neck can sit, you can use the first part + carrier part as a general waist belt type baby carrier, and after the baby's neck is able to sit firmly and it becomes heavy, you can use the hip seat + carrier part as a hip seat carrier.

It can be used as a waist belt type baby carrier (first part + carrier part), or as a hip seat carrier (hip seat + carrier part) up to 20kg (around 4 years old), so the key point is that you can use it properly according to not only your child's growth, but also the usage situation!

Since the hip seat can be used alone, it can be used to support side-hugging or for a short hug after the baby carrier is used. It will be active from the time you are born until you are around 4 years old, so if you have one of these, you won't need to buy a new one or buy more, so it is recommended from a cost performance standpoint.
