When your baby has to use a Hip brace, it can be very difficult to position and strap your baby into a regular car seat. Regular car seats do not provide the flexibility, comfort and safety that a baby with hip dysplasia needs.

The type of baby car seat that you require is a baby car seat that has low sides, so that when your baby has the hip brace on then they can spread outside the seat. The second criteria for a healthy hips car seat, is that it needs to be wide, providing plenty of room for bubs with the brace on.

Car Seat of choice

The Baby Car seat we use is the baby car seat of choice by Monash hospital, when there is a child with hip dysplasia. When your child has hip dysplasia the car seat needs to have very low sides and to be wide; allowing bubs to sit easily in the car seat.
