Shortlist the Jane Catch if your walking toddler constantly demands to be picked up on walks but you don’t want to buckle into a full carrier for every short stretch. It is a lightweight hip seat: the child sits on a padded perch at your hip, and a wide adjustable shoulder protector spreads their weight across your shoulder and back instead of concentrating it on one arm. The tradeoff is scope. This is seated hip carrying for quick pick-ups, not hands-free front or back carrying, so naps and long hikes still call for a full carrier. It fits children from 9 months to about 4 years, with a 22 kg ceiling. Before buying, weigh your child against that limit and expect to retire it around age four.
