Tired of Carrying Your Toddler? Meet the Parenting Product Parents Are Raving About
For Every Parent Who Hears "Carry Me!" 100 Times a Day
If you're parenting a toddler, chances are you've carried a child while trying to do about six other things at the same time.
School runs, holidays, days out, trips to the shops and even a quick walk to the car can quickly turn into requests for cuddles and "pick me up" moments. While those cuddles are precious, they can also be hard work on your back, shoulders and hips.
That's exactly the challenge Australian parenting brand Hackerlily set out to solve.
Their award-winning HipSurfer carrier has already built a loyal following in Australia and is now available in the UK, helping parents carry growing children in a way that feels more comfortable, supportive and practical for everyday life.
Meet The HipSurfer: Loved in Australia, Now Available in the UK
Parenting doesn't need more pressure. Just better support in the moments that matter.
That's exactly why Hackerlily has your back. The Australian brand's award-winning signature product, the HipSurfer hip carrier, is built around a very real need: helping parents carry growing children in a way that takes the strain off your body and the pressure off your mind.
But it's also designed to feel like something you'd actually want to wear, not hide away.
Support Without Sacrificing Style
Thoughtfully designed with the same attention to detail you'd expect from a fashion-led accessory, and so much more than a practical parenting product.
From carefully considered materials to elevated finishes, every element has been chosen to feel premium, durable and effortless to wear day-to-day.
At the heart of the design is interchangeability.
The removable covers (sold separately) are not only practical for messy moments and everyday spills, but also allow the HipSurfer to be styled in a way that feels personal to whoever is wearing it.
From understated neutrals to bolder prints and textured finishes, the interchangeable covers make it easy to switch up the look without needing a second carrier.
Different family members can also choose a style that feels more like them, whether that's classic and minimal or more statement-led, all from the same product.
It's a simple idea, but one that brings a new level of flexibility to everyday life: one carrier that adapts not just to your day, but to your personal style.
Designed to be both supportive and fashion-forward, the HipSurfer helps parents move more comfortably and confidently, without compromising on how you look and feel while carrying your child.
The Healthy Way To Carry
Did you know that carrying children on one hip can put extra strain on your body over time?
Many parents naturally shift into this position during everyday life, but repeated uneven carrying can contribute to muscle strain, discomfort and postural imbalance, particularly in the back, hips and shoulders.
The HipSurfer Hip Carrier has been designed to help reduce that physical strain by supporting a more balanced way of carrying young children.
Supported by positive feedback from a range of health and parenting professionals, it makes everyday carrying feel more comfortable and manageable.
From tired legs and "pick me up" moments, to long days out, school runs, holidays and everything in between, the HipSurfer has been designed with multiple carrying positions that adapt as your child grows.
Suitable from infancy to toddler years, it moves with your child from early supportive holds to active toddler carrying as they develop.
Available Styles
Tan Vegan Leather
RRP: £126
Black Vegan Leather, Gold Zip

Pink & Red Corduroy

The HipSurfer is available in three premium-quality material options: Vegan Leather, Corduroy and Polyester in nine different colourways.
It's packed with clever features designed to make everyday carrying easier, more comfortable and more convenient.
