Alta Hip Seat Baby Carrier - Natural Beige

Carry your toddler your way. A two-in-one hip seat and 3-position carrier for ages 4–48 months, featuring an ergonomically designed wide, curved seat plus convenience features like storage and a sun hood-offering maximum versatility as baby grows The Ergobaby Alta is a genuine 2-in-1: a hip seat carrier for quick pick-ups and a full toddler carrier for hands-free wear, in one product. Suitable from 4 to 48 months (5.5kg–20.4kg), it's built for the phase when your toddler wants to be up one minute and down the next — no buckling into a full carrier required for a quick lift. The wide, padded waistband features a curved, ergonomic seat shelf that supports baby's hips in a healthy, natural position — certified hip-healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute and back-friendly by AGR. Every fastening is at the front, so there's no reaching behind your back, making the Alta easy to put on solo and quick to hand between caregivers. When you need both hands free, simply attach the removable back panel and shoulder straps to convert the hip seat into a full structured carrier, giving you four total carry positions: hip, front-inward, front-outward, and back. A built-in sun hood doubles as nursing cover, and the large front storage pocket holds your phone, keys, or a nappy — handy for outings when you don't want to carry a bag. Machine washable, backed by Ergobaby's ErgoPromise Guarantee, and adjustable from 65cm to 140cm waist sizes, the Alta is one of the most versatile toddler carriers available — a genuine two-in-one alternative to buying a separate hip seat and full-support carrier.
