Is this carrier okay for my baby's hips?

From the very beginning, LÍLLÉbaby was designed to support a hip-friendly seat in every carrying position. We are thrilled to announce that the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) has certified the LILLEbaby COMPLETE™ as a "hip-healthy" product according to their research and criteria.

The IHDI affirms that the LÍLLÉbaby COMPLETE™ carrier designs support the importance of healthy hip development during infancy, which is especially important during the early stages of hip development in the first few months after birth.

We are honored and grateful for the recognition - healthy, safe, supported and thriving babies have always been our very highest priority!

The COMPLETE™'s cup-shaped seat design accommodates an ergonomic wide-leg sitting position to facilitate healthy hip development in the forward-facing position. Baby’s legs are naturally spread apart and, equally important, baby can move them freely. Keep in mind that babies older than 6 months are past the hip dysplasia risk age, but the seat design still makes for a more comfortable ride.

Our forward facing position is also a wonderful option, should you decide to use it! The narrow seat position provides proper hip support in this position as well. LÍLLÉbaby offers forward facing as simply an option, not a requirement. As a parent, you make the choice on what is right for your child!
