Ergobaby has long been known for their ergonomic baby carriers, but now a new segment is being launched that makes everyday life even easier for parents: hip seats and hip carriers. These are smart solutions for those who want quick closeness, relief, and flexibility – perfect for children who want to be held one moment and down on the floor or ground the next.
Here we guide you through the three products in the segment: Alta Hip Baby Carrier, Lift Hip Seat, and Upsie Hip Carrier.
Alta Hip Baby Carrier – 2 in 1

Alta is a 2-in-1 solution, i.e., a combination of an ergonomic baby carrier and a hip seat, making it a versatile solution that grows with your child.
