Momcozy’s Move2Fit Baby Carrier Review: A Must-Have for Active, Busy Parents

I always considered myself an active person—then I became a parent of two. Now, my seemingly fearless 10-month-old and bounce-off-the-walls toddler make for days when I can barely catch my breath. Our youngest is also a textbook koala baby: he loves to be worn at all times. And while I love wearing him—especially as it allows me to stay active outdoors—he’s always been on the upper end of the growth curve, and my back has paid the price.

Not yet ready to give up babywearing, I was excited to test out Momcozy’s new Move2Fit Baby Carrier, which caters to active lifestyles thanks to extra ergonomic support for both parent and baby. I hoped the built-in hip seat and six wearing options would provide the relief required to comfortably wear my little guy no matter our plans, from a quick run to the grocery store or an hours-long nature hike.

What is the Momcozy Move2Fit Baby Carrier?

Momcozy, a trusted global brand serving parents in more than 60 countries, is no stranger to baby carriers (alongside other parenting essentials like breast pumps, bottle warmers and even strollers). The Momcozy Move2Fit Baby Carrier is the brand’s first two-in-one baby carrier that boasts a detachable hip seat designed to promote healthy hip development in little ones. It also offers six carrying positions—including a front, back and hip carry—to grow with your child from 5 months up to age three. For babies under 5 months, it’s recommended to use the waist seat in the cradle position to better support your baby’s weight and ensure comfort.

The Move2Fit was developed with active lifestyles in mind: the extra-wide waist belt reduces pressure on the waist and belly for increased abdominal support. Plus, it doubles as a storage pouch, with five pockets for stowing belongings on the go. Another notable feature is the X-shaped back straps that distribute the baby’s weight more evenly to help prevent back and shoulder pain during longer outings.

Our review of the Momcozy Move2Fit Baby Carrier

With the weather finally inching above 0 C (a celebration-worthy moment in Ontario!), I was eager to get outside with my 10-month-old. Days away from crawling, he is at his squirmiest, so I appreciated the hip-seat baby carrier’s crossable straps, which make it possible to buckle up one-handed. The extra-wide belt was super comfortable on my waist and belly—ideal after two C-sections—and could be secured extra tight thanks to a Velcro and buckle fastener.

Since lifting and wearing our youngest so much has been so hard on my back, I was impressed I was impressed that the Move2Fit offered sufficient back and shoulder support. I didn’t feel any strain for the entire hour we spent walking and running errands. In addition to the cross-back straps, the built-in hip seat helped better distribute his weight compared with other carriers I’ve tried.

While it may sound trivial, when babywearing in the past I’ve genuinely struggled with where to put my things; holding a purse isn’t realistic when a kiddo is strapped to you, and a jacket pocket often isn’t accessible. I loved how this baby carrier with storage eliminates the struggle: those five large pockets along the waistband could easily fit my phone, wallet, keys, snacks and even diapers.

I typically wear our son inward facing, but as he’s getting older and starting to prefer seeing his surroundings, I decided to face him out for part of our walk. Sitting on a park bench, I kept him snug in the carrier resting on the hip seat as I unbuckled one strap before turning him around into forward-facing mode. It was a cinch to transition carrier positions, and he loved his new vantage point.

Finally, after we arrived home, I quickly unzipped the carrier component to use the standalone hip seat. It’s a super helpful feature for picking up or putting down your baby with that added comfort and support—whether you’re prepping dinner or (as in our case) rushing out the door to get your older child from preschool.

Pros

• Baby carrier with hip seat for newborns to promote healthy hip development
• Wide waist belt for ample abdominal support (ideal for C-section moms)
• Velcro and buckle waistband closures to ensure a quick and secure fit
• Cross-back straps to better distribute baby’s weight to prevent back and shoulder strain

Cons

• Larger carrier design than other models due to built-in hip seat
• No infant insert (not suitable for babies less than seven pounds)
• Removing the Velcro waist belt can be noisy (worth keeping in mind if your baby is sleeping)

Final Verdict

At first, I thought a baby carrier with a hip seat might be complicated, but it was far more intuitive to use than I imagined. I loved how snug and secure my son felt in it, and how comfortable it was to wear over long stretches of time. I’d consider MomCozy’s Move2Fit Baby Carrier an essential for busy parents looking for a wearable option that can easily adapt to any lifestyle. With my little guy approaching his first birthday, it’s reassuring to know I won’t be giving up babywearing any time soon.
