What's a 3D Baby Carrier?
The difference is the 3-dimensional built-in seat
- Baby’s legs don’t dangle, unlike conventional front-facing carriers
- Wide enough for your child to sit comfortably with support in all the right places
- Puts baby’s hips in a healthy "M position" recommended by pediatricians
- Strong enough to handle the weight of most 3-year-olds

“Am I carrying my baby right?”
If you’re wearing a HIPSTER™ PLUS, then the answer is yes!
The built-in seat eliminates the possibility of carrying your baby the wrong way.
Conventional baby carriers support your baby from the groin area, leaving baby’s legs to hang unsupported. We can only imagine how uncomfortable this is for the baby. But discomfort is just part of the problem…
For the first 6 months, your baby’s hips are still developing. New babies are very flexible and more prone to hip dysplasia (a condition of general instability or looseness of the hip joint). If left untreated, hip dysplasia can permanently damage the structure of the hip socket causing a lifetime of pain.
It’s important to know that no carrier can cause hip dysplasia if it isn’t already a pre-existing condition. But a carrier without proper hip support can worsen the situation if your baby already has hip dysplasia.
Since hip dysplasia is a silent condition, it makes early detection very difficult. So it’s always smart to choose a carrier that makes sure your baby’s legs are in the “M position” recommended by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute—knees bent, hips bent and open to the side with thighs supported.
The International Hip Dysplasia Institute has tested and approved HIPSTER™ PLUS as a hip healthy product.
While some other carriers have been able to achieve proper positioning in the back-facing position, the MiaMily HIPSTER™ PLUS also achieves healthy hip positioning when used as a forward-facing carrier, too.
Thanks to the 3D seat, you just can’t carry your baby the wrong way.

What the MiaMily tribe say
Most importantly, my now 2 months old can easily SLEEP in it. I also feel like she’s not squished in it and looks very comfortable. Now, that has made my life easier.

To me, the HIPSTER™ stands out from the rest of the carriers because of its seat base, which allows me to use it for both of my boys, and allows me to carry them in so many different ways.

With the built-in seat and the ability the use just the hip belt, the MiaMily HIPSTER Plus makes running errands a dream... That’s not something you can do with just any carrier!
