Hippychick Child Hip Seat
ILC Reference NO 44:01:002
Item sourced from ILC ACT database
Short Description
A child hip seat that takes the weight of a child from 6 months to 3 years. It helps to prevent back pain in the person carrying the child, as the spine can remain straight, with the child nestling into the hip and chest of the wearer and the load of the child is spread across the pelvis. When the seat is wrapped firmly around the carer, it helps to support the back.
