Young Babies (6 months approximately)

Quite a few people have commented on how comfortable and happy their child is, when they are younger, to be carried with their bottom on the seat facing out.  The adult has one arm lightly around the child's waist and the child can see what is going on around them. 

When sitting astride Hipseat^tm, the child is very comfortable and his or her head is level with the adult’s shoulders or chest.  The child is automatically drawn to the adult's body by the angle of the seat and he or she is positioned so that they can see what is going on around them as well as being close to the adult’s voice and body warmth.
