Tushbaby

Tushbaby is the hip-seat carrier that earned its reputation on city sidewalks and crowded playgrounds: a structured waistband that takes the weight off your arms and back when your toddler insists on being held for the fifth time before lunch. The full Tushbaby range at Bambi Baby covers the original hip carrier, accessory add-ons, changing toppers, and travel-friendly bags built around the same buckle system.

Who Tushbaby is for

Parents who do a lot of short carries: airport terminals, farmer's markets, school drop-off, the museum loop, the in-and-out of stroller transfers. If you've ever tried to balance a 25-pound toddler on one hip while paying for coffee, the hip seat solves the actual problem. The waistband distributes weight through your hips instead of your shoulders, and the structured seat gives your child a real perch, not a slouch.

How it fits into your gear setup

Tushbaby works as a second-string carrier alongside a soft-structured wrap or a full-body baby carrier. Use the hip seat for quick errands and transitions; use a structured carrier for long walks and hikes. Many parents pair it with a compact stroller for city living, clipping the carrier on for the leg between the subway and the apartment.

Tushbaby FAQ

Is Tushbaby safe for newborns?

Yes, with the newborn insert. The hip seat supports head and neck positioning and keeps baby in an ergonomic M-shape. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines on age, weight, and positioning.

What's Tushbaby's return policy?

Tushbaby orders placed through Bambi Baby follow our standard return policy. Contact customer service for return authorization and shipping instructions.

Can I machine wash the Tushbaby carrier?

The cover is removable and machine washable on cold. The structured seat itself should be spot cleaned only.

How is Tushbaby different from a full baby carrier?

A hip seat carries short bursts and quick ups-and-downs without straps over your shoulders. A full carrier distributes weight across both shoulders and your back for longer wear. Most parents use both.
