This is the Cadillac of baby carriers, and absolute must for an outing. Whether you are going for a hike or just an afternoon out, the Abiie Huggs Contour will be a lifesaver. It provides six different carrying modes from front to back, cross body and even hip carrying modes to provide support when your toddler wants to be carried. The padded waist strap fit both myself and my husband with simple adjusting, and it has a foam seat cushion that allows ergonomic support both for you and baby while alleviating the pressure off the back straps. In hip carrying mode, the back straps simply zip off leaving the waist band and the carrier booster seat that is lightweight, but effective at holding up my little one. I can prop my toddler on my hip and keep walking without getting exhausted after a few minutes.
