Concerns that only men have when using baby carriers and hip seats
There are surprisingly many concerns that men have when using baby carriers and hip seats.
"The size doesn't fit and it's hard to use..."
"My husband and I have different builds, so it's difficult to share..."
"The design is so cute, it's honestly hard to use..."
I think there are many men who feel this way.
Most standard baby carriers and hip seats are designed for women, and can feel a bit cramped for larger men. If you have broad shoulders or a muscular build, they may not fit comfortably, putting strain on your shoulders and hips, causing pain and making it difficult to carry your baby for long periods of time.
Furthermore, there is the issue of design. There are probably many men who feel that designs that are too cute are a bit too much.
To solve this problem, it's important to choose a baby carrier or hip seat that fits a man's physique and has a simple, stylish design. Recently, there has been an increase in unisex, easy-to-adjust products that can be easily shared by the whole family, so find the perfect item for you and enjoy parenting in comfort!
The difference between a baby carrier and a hip seat
Both baby carriers and hip seats are childcare items used when holding a baby, but they each have different features and ways of being used.
baby carrier
A baby carrier is a type of carrier that has straps that wrap around the shoulders and waist, holding the baby tightly against the body. Baby carriers are characterized by their ability to support the baby's entire body and are compatible with a variety of holding styles, including forward-facing, piggyback, and side-carrying. Many of these products are safe to use even on newborns who cannot yet hold their heads up.
Hip seat
A hip seat is a type of baby carrier that has a seat-like platform on top of a belt that wraps around the waist. The baby is held in this seat, and because the baby's weight is mainly supported by the waist, it often puts less strain on the shoulders and back than a baby carrier.
Hip seats hold babies securely in a seated position, making them particularly suitable for babies who are just starting to gain weight and for short periods of time.Recently, shoulder-type hip seats that support the baby's shoulders have become available, and if you want to avoid putting strain on your lower back, shoulder bag-type hip seats are also recommended.
Tips for choosing a baby carrier and hip seat that is easy for men to use: Functionality
When choosing a baby carrier or hip seat for men, it's important to first look at the functionality. It's important to choose something that not only allows you to hold your baby safely and comfortably, but also reduces strain on your body even when used for long periods of time. Men, in particular, have different physiques than women, so they want to choose something that fits their body snugly and can be used comfortably. Here, we'll take a closer look at the important functional aspects for men, focusing on fit and differences in physique between couples.
Fit
Men generally tend to have broad shoulders and more muscle mass, so whether the carrier fits snugly to the body directly affects ease of use. For baby carriers, it's important to make sure that the shoulder and waist straps can be adjusted to fit the body snugly, and for hip seats, it's important to make sure that the waist belt is firmly attached to the body and provides stable support for the baby.
A well-fitting baby carrier or hip seat distributes the baby's weight, reducing the strain on the shoulders and hips even when carrying the baby for long periods of time. Men, in particular, tend to be larger in size, so the baby's weight tends to concentrate on their shoulders and hips, so choose a carrier that fits snugly and provides support. Recently, many carriers have been designed for men with wider shoulders and more cushioned straps. This allows the baby's weight to be distributed more efficiently, reducing fatigue when carrying the baby.
Storage and portability
There are many cases where couples carry different amounts of luggage. In such cases, a bag with more storage capacity will be easier to use in various situations.
On the other hand, there is also the concern that if the baby carrier or hip seat is heavy, it will be bulky to carry around.
Therefore, we recommend something that is compact and can store a lot of things.
Physical differences between husband and wife
Many couples would like to share a baby carrier or hip seat. However, the problem here is the difference in body size. If there is a difference in body size between couples, the size of the baby carrier or hip seat will need to be adjusted frequently. Taking this into consideration, it is important to choose a product that is easy to adjust the size.
For couples with little difference in physique
If the couple's physiques are not very different, there may be no need to make large adjustments so frequently. However, there are many situations where fine adjustments are necessary. For example, even a slight difference in shoulder width or waist size can change the fit of the baby carrier. For this reason, it is important to choose a baby carrier or hip seat that can be finely adjusted.
When choosing a baby carrier, choosing one that allows you to easily adjust the length of the shoulder and waist straps will allow both spouses to use it comfortably. Some products have memory on the adjustment part, which is convenient as it allows you to easily return to the setting that suits you each time. In particular, types with smooth adjustment of the shoulder straps allow you to quickly customize the fit to your liking, so comfort is not compromised when used by either spouse.
For couples with different body sizes
If the couple's builds differ significantly, choosing a product that's easy to adjust becomes even more important. For example, if the man has broad shoulders and the woman is petite, they'll need a baby carrier or hip seat with a wide range of strap length and belt adjustment. Easy adjustment is also important; if you find it a hassle to adjust the settings every time, we recommend a one-touch adjustment type or one with an elastic belt.
The length of the belt is especially important for hip seats, and when a couple uses the same seat, they may encounter issues with the belt being too long or not long enough. In this case, choosing a seat with a wide adjustable belt will make it easier for both partners to use. Also, a hip seat with an easy-to-adjust buckle can be easily adjusted before and after use, reducing stress when shared between couples.
Furthermore, for couples with a large difference in build, a cross-back baby carrier can be convenient. This type of carrier provides firm support on the shoulders and back regardless of body size, making it easier for both partners to maintain a comfortable fit.
Tips for choosing a baby carrier or hip seat that is easy for men to use: Design
When men choose a baby carrier or hip seat, not only functionality but also design is an important consideration. Since childcare items are used daily, satisfaction with the appearance is an important factor in ensuring long-term use. Men, in particular, are often concerned about whether the design will look natural when they use it when out and about. Here, we will explain how to choose a baby carrier and hip seat that is easy for men to use based on design.
Simple and stylish
A trend in designs preferred by men is simple and stylish. Baby carriers and hip seats for men tend to be less overly decorative and more solid or subdued colors, such as black, gray, and navy. These colors are easy to coordinate with other fashions.
Unisex design
Another point to note is unisex designs. When couples share childcare responsibilities, choosing a design that suits both parties will ensure that both parties can continue to use the product comfortably. Since men often shy away from feminine designs such as cute colors and patterns, it is recommended to choose a simple and sophisticated design that can be used by both men and women without hesitation.
