This belt reduces the strain on an adult's back caused by leaning awkwardly to one side to balance the weight of a child carried at the hip. The weight of a carried child is redistributed from the upper back, shoulders, and arms, and dispersed evenly around the waist much the same way that hip straps help support the load in modern internal frame backpacks. The adjustable belt is made with durable yet lightweight cordura that is machine washable, and has a safety strap, inner security pocket for storage of money, keys, or other valuables. The perch is waterproof. For use with children ages 6 months to 3 years. Imported.
