Disclaimer: I was provided a free MiaMily baby carrier but all thoughts and opinions expressed herein are my own. Please read our disclosure policy for more information.
Elin is reaching the age, size, and weight limit for baby carriers, but this Mama is not ready to let go!!
I would have never carried Mark or Ava this late and THIS much, but she’s my last one and I want her to be my little monkey just a little longer!
Plus… I would never travel without a baby carrier! We hike and walk a lot during our trips – it is our favorite way of discovering a new area – and with Ava and Mark gaining some speed, Elin’s little legs still get tired once in a while.
Our favorite baby carrier is the Swiss-designed MiaMily Hipster Smart! And I honestly wish such practical and high quality baby carriers existed when my older kids were younger!
I call the MiaMily Hipster Smart, luxury! The Rolls-Royce of baby carriers, and this is why:
6 Carrying Positions
The MiaMily allows you to carry your child in 6 different positions.
When my babies were younger, I always carried them on my front to feel them close and snuggled. They also loved looking up at my face for comfort.
But once they grow and get heavier, it is much easier for me to carry them on my back, almost like a backpack. And Elin loves looking over my shoulders and forward, or lay her head on my back and take a rest!
But like I said, she is our last and playing baby quite a bit 🙂 So I find myself carrying her more than I should and I snap the MiaMily on my side to help support her weight. All that I have left to do, is hold her back! I love the side carry, especially around the house! And if you have a newborn, that position is amazing to give you support, especially when breastfeeding on the go!
If you’ll be carrying on the side a lot, you can add the single shoulder accessory that will help distribute the weight to your back.
Actual Seat For Baby
This is what really caught my attention with the MiaMily Hipster Plus – the baby sits on an actual seat, which they call “3D Hip Seat” over at MiaMily! That makes it so much more comfortable for them, while being ergonomic for the child’s hips!
Ergonomic (aka. Weightless Baby)
Elin is starting to weigh her weight 🙂 But the way the MiaMily Hipster Smart is positioned and hugging my hips, helps to spread her weight all the way around my waist!
That way, I don’t really feel like I’m carrying much!
Ultra-Convenient Storage Space
Because when we’re out hiking, or just strolling down the city or parks, my hands have better things to do than hold a phone, bottle, or pacifier… And carrying a purse when I already carry a child, is out of the question!
Under the baby’s seat, the MiaMily Hipster Plus has a deep pocket that fits a large phone, a water bottle or baby’s bottle, pacifier, muslin, wallet, you name it!
That way, everything is out of the way and I can confidently carry all of the necessities without having to worry about having my hands full. Cause those hands are either holding on to other little hands or handrails (or a bubble tea…)! 🙂
Built With Only The Best Materials
Our MiaMily baby carrier is the Organic Cotton Grey, and it is worth the upgrade to know that my child is surrounded by the best cotton. Just my 2 cents, but I feel better for the environment and the planet we visit and show our children – so we dress ourselves and use as much organic cotton as we can!
And since we live in Florida and mostly travel to warm places, the MiaMily has an amazing feature: unzip the top layer behind baby’s back and you are left with a breathable mesh! An absolute must to keep baby cool!
No More Hanging Straps
This is such a small detail, but it makes a world of a difference. Each strap comes with an elastic band to hold it in place and rolled up! So easy and totally genius!
Very Easy To Put On
This one shouldn’t be overlooked! We have had many carriers over the years and quickly stopped using the ones that are too complicated to put on.
The MiaMily Hipster Plus is super easy to put on and clip on! As well as very easy to take the baby down and remove. No need for a partner’s help!
Simply strap on the hip belt, which is by the way adjustable to your size with a large velcro for ultimate fitting!
Then sit baby on the 3D hip seat and bring the shoulder straps up. Lastly, click the buckle to hold the shoulder straps in place!
We Love Our MiaMily Baby Carrier
I am honestly very emotional about transferring Elin away from her baby carrier. As long as she’ll fit in it comfortably, our MiaMily Hipster Plus will keep on being our life-saver!
It will keep on coming on hikes with us, it will stay out in the living room so I can keep her close as long as she likes cuddling up. She is my last baby and truth be told, I love carrying her!
The MiaMily Hipster Plus is an amazing product from birth up until age 4 and you will love its versatility as your baby grows. It is safe for their little hips and your own back, and both mommy and daddy can take turns in carrying the kids!
Happy baby carrying! Give them hugs, they grow up fast!
