Hip Hammock Testimonials
I
just love your hip hammock!!! Abby has just been diagnosed with
congenital hip displacement on both sides. It's a bit sad, and it
looks like treatment may be long and involved. But you'll be interested
to know that her physio-therapist said that the hip hammock is about
the best thing I could have done for her all of this time, as it
holds her legs in a very natural, helpful position.
Jennifer and Abby

The
Hip Hammock allows me to interact with my daughter and talk to her
more frequently and coSveniently than if she were in a stroller
or in a backpack. For example, we point to things together, and
I'll tell her what they are. She seems to learn vocabulary better
this way.
The Hip Hammock is something great to slip on for
a quick errand around town. We live in Manhattan so pushing a
stroller can be rather cumbersome. She also gets lots of extra
hugs and kisses since her lovable cheeks are right there, conviently
located!

I received my hip hammock two days ago and I LOVE IT!!!!
My baby girl is 5-1/2 months old and about 14 pounds. And while
I am still able to use my front carrier, I won't be for long and
there are times already when it's inconvenient.
The hip hammock is the most amazing solution!!! I have tried SOOOO
many slings, but I'm very short -- 5' tall -- and so I always found
them very uncomfortable. The hip hammock fits me just fine and has
tons of added advantages! It frees up your most-used hand whereas
slings cover all of your shoulder and a good bit of your upper arm,
making it difficult to reach for things in cupboards, etc.
The hip hammock allows me to eat while holding my baby without dropping
crumbs, spilling, etc. In my front carrier, her head was always
in the way! I love the little toy clip! I have a front-loading washer
and dryer, and this way I can easily squat down, with my baby in
the hammock, to do laundry. Her legs don't get in the way! I even
put on my make-up this morning with Abby still in the hammock! She
gets to participate! I love that I can snuggle with her and interact
with her so easily -- her little face is right there to look up
and smile at me, and I still have the front part of my body as well
as my hands, free!
Oh! And my husband can't wait to take her to the park this weekend
in the hip hammock -- he'll feel more than comfortable wearing her
in it! Thank you so much. I really am going to recommend this product
to everyone I know!
Kindly,
Jennifer, Abigail (5-1/2 months) and Matthew Nordan

I
just wanted you to know what a lifesaver your hip hammock was in
China. We hardly ever used the umbrella stroller we brought along,
since it was so much easier to just use the hip hammock. Lucy-Mei
took many a nap in it!
I still use it at home, especially when I just run outside for a
quick errand. And, it is also handy in the house, since we have
an old, old home that used to be two separate apartments on two
different floors. Our house isn't "childproofed" yet, so I find
it necessary to tow little Lucy-Mei around with me, and she is delighted
to be my partner in crime! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know
that I think of you and your great invention every day since I have
had it! MERCI!
Warmest New Year's greetings from Aix-en-Provence,
Wendy, André and Lucy-Mei

I
received my hip hammock a couple weeks ago and I'm hooked! Brooke
and I went to Florida to visit my sister. The hammock was great
in the crowded airport with a 3 hour layover! I could carry her
in the hammock and my carry-on bag- no problem! I got something
to eat at the airport and she slept in it while I paid and sat down
and ate! Her little head rested in the crook of my arm! It was even
great on the plane, since we boarded while she was still sleeping
in it. I just loosened the straps and rotated her to the front and
she slept in it while we flew! This left both hands free to read
a magazine and drink a pop! Plus, it was safe to have her strapped
to me in the event of turbulence.
While in Florida, we visited a restaurant with my family. Brooke
got extremely fussy. I finally pulled out the hammock from the diaper
bag, and she INSTANTLY calmed down in it! I even nursed her in it
as I ate dinner! Her mouth was at the right level after I adjusted
the straps a little! She immediately fell asleep in it as I continued
my dinner with both hands free! Today, I vacuumed and dusted the
whole house while she sat in the hammock just looking around as
content as can be! My back and shoulders felt perfect when I was
done!

Just
got our Hip Hammock in the mail this morning and I don't know what
I would have done without it! Callum (10 months) is sick and very
clingy right now, so I have been able to do laundry and other chores
that would otherwise have had to wait until my husband arrives home.
Looking forward to being able to use the streetcar, bus and subway
stroller-free!

I recieved my Hip Hammock in the mail last week
and wanted to tell you how much I love it!!!! I have only one major
regret. I WISH THAT I HAD HAD IT FOR MY OTHER TWO BABIES! It is
literally the absolute best baby carrier that I have ever tried,
including baby backpacks! I put my 2 year old in the carrier to
try it out and it is fabulous.

The Hip Hammock has saved my life! I have a whopping 9.5 kg, 5
1/2 month old and many stairs to climb to reach my apartment - and
it's going to be a long time before this baby climbs those stairs.
The Hip Hammock allows me to carry baby and groceries almost effortlessly.
I always stow it away in the stroller so that I can slip baby into
it to get to those spots that are so hard to reach with the stroller.
Adrian was not happy any longer in the front carrier but he loves
sitting on my hip and watching the world go by - it really is a
very natural way to carry a baby.

I already love it! I put my daughter in it and
it must have been very comfortable because she was asleep within
five minutes and continued to sleep for an hour in it! (This from
my child that hates to nap!) I was thrilled. I will be sure to tell
all of my mommy friends that it is a 'must have' item!

I recieved the Hip Hammock yesterday evening
and I have to say WOW! My baby doesn't know what hit him! He loves
being in it, and has fallen asleep while in it twice already! A
MILLION THANKS to you!
