Handy but Hot

I love the hip hammock and so does my baby (who just loves to be carried around). The only unfortunate piece is that the material doesn't breathe very well and my baby has gotten overheated in the summer. I believe the deluxe edition of this product is made from a nice material ... I would have checked this out more carefully had I known then what I know now. BTW, the hammock folds unto itself in a neat, easy package and is comfortably portable (I can bundle it and tie with the attached button and easily put in my diaper bag).

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

I never write reviews on products, but I just couldn't pass this one up! I just bought this hip hammock to try it out. My 6 month old daughter loves to ride on my hip, but I find that after a few minutes, she gets heavy, then I am switching her between hips, and when I'm shopping it's impossible to carry her, sign receipts, push the storller, hold the 4 year olds hand, etc. This Hip Hammock really frees up BOTH of your hands and makes it so much easier to enjoy baby riding along. My daughter loves it too. She likes being close to me and and loves being able to look around at the same time. She is so comfortable and content when I have her in the Hip Hammock. We have a baby bjorn and a Nojo sling, but this one is by far her very favorite and mine too! I recommend this to everyone I know!^M

Spare your back...use your neck?

The catch phrase for this is "Use your hip, spare your back," but this hammock put all the weight on my neck. I have to admit that I am a plus sized woman at size 20, but I let my other mom friends try this on before I returned it, and they were all equally dissappointed. I followed the directions carefully, but never managed to comfortably carry my 20 lb 8 month old son for any length of time. From these reviews it looks like this product has worked great for some moms, but for those plus sized mommies out there, it just doesn't work.
