DIDYMOS DidyHip Carrier Guide
The DIDYMOS DidyHip is a dedicated hip carrier designed for quick, one-shoulder carries with older babies and toddlers. It goes on like a crossbody bag, seats your child on your hip in the ergonomic spread-squat position, and comes off just as fast. Made from organic DIDYMOS woven wrap fabric, it is compact enough to toss in a diaper bag as a backup carrier.

Who Is the DidyHip For?
- The up-and-down toddler stage. Quick on, quick off — perfect for toddlers who want to walk, then be carried, then walk again.
- Short carries and errands. Grocery store runs, playground trips, cooking dinner while holding a clingy baby.
- Backup carrier. Compact and lightweight — toss it in the diaper bag or stroller basket in case you need it.
- Hip-carry enthusiasts. If hip carry is your go-to position, the DidyHip is built specifically for it.
Key Features
- Dedicated hip carry. Unlike a ring sling or woven wrap where hip carry is one of several options, the DidyHip is designed from the ground up for hip carrying.
- Quick on and off. Slip it over one shoulder, seat your child, adjust the drawstrings, and go. Faster than any other carrier type.
- Adjustable pouch. Drawstrings let you customize the seat width and depth for your child’s size.
- Ergonomic spread-squat position. The pouch supports the natural M-position of the hips for healthy hip development.
- Padded shoulder and leg areas. Integrated padding in the shoulder section and leg cut-outs for comfort.
- Symmetrical design. Wear it on either shoulder to switch sides and distribute fatigue.
- Organic woven wrap fabric. Made from the same organic cotton and blend fabrics as DIDYMOS wraps.
How to Use the DidyHip
- Put it on. Slip the DidyHip over one shoulder like a crossbody bag, with the pouch sitting at your hip.
- Seat your child. Place your child in the pouch, legs straddling either side.
- Adjust. Use the drawstrings to tighten the seat so your child sits securely in the spread-squat position.
- Check. The fabric should support your child from knee to knee, with knees higher than the bottom.
Care Instructions
- Machine wash at 30 °C on a gentle cycle.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Hang or lay flat to dry.
- Do not use fabric softener.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age can I start using the DidyHip?
From approximately 5 months (5 kg minimum). Your child should have some head and trunk control. For younger babies, a ring sling or woven wrap in hip carry position works better.
Can I use the DidyHip for front or back carries?
No — the DidyHip is designed for hip carry only. For front carries, see the DidyFix or DidySnap. For back carries, see the DidyGo Onbuhimo.
Is the DidyHip comfortable for long carries?
The DidyHip is best for short to medium carries (up to about 30–45 minutes). Because all weight sits on one shoulder, longer carries may cause fatigue. For extended carrying, a two-shoulder carrier like the DidyFix distributes weight more evenly.
How do I wash the DidyHip?
Machine wash at 30 °C on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry. Hang to dry. Skip the fabric softener.
