Quick answer

The Crossbody Strap is a decorative accessory for carrying your Tushbaby when it's not holding a child, not a baby carrier. It offers a stylish, hands-free way to tote the hipseat, but must never be used with a child inside.

When to choose a crossbody strap over a diaper bag strap

A crossbody strap is designed specifically for carrying your Tushbaby when it's empty, not for wearing a baby. If you need a strap for a diaper bag or baby carrier, look for a dedicated product. The Crossbody Strap attaches to the D-rings on the sides of the Tushbaby hipseat, making it easy to sling over your shoulder like a purse.

The main trade-off: this strap is decorative and lightweight, so it won't support the weight of a child. It's ideal for parents who want to keep their hands free while walking from the car to the beach or around the house, but it's not a substitute for a baby carrier or a diaper bag strap.

Decision rules for buying a crossbody strap

  • Purpose check: Use this strap only for carrying an empty Tushbaby. If you need a strap for a baby carrier or diaper bag, choose a different product.
  • Attachment compatibility: Ensure your Tushbaby has D-rings on the sides of the hipseat. The Crossbody Strap clips onto these rings.
  • Style and convenience: Choose a color that matches your style. The strap is lightweight and easy to sling over your shoulder, making it convenient for short trips. Check that the strap is long enough to wear crossbody comfortably.

Product facts

  • The Crossbody Strap: The Crossbody Strap is for decorative use only and should never be used when carrying a child. It attaches to the D-rings on the sides of your Tushbaby’s hipseat. This means you can carry the empty hipseat hands-free like a purse, but you must switch to a proper carrier or hold your child separately when they are in the seat.
