Can this carrier be used to carry baby on your hip?

I am not sure what you mean by this. You can carry baby affront or on your back but not on your side. Baby does sit and not hang by the crotch as they do in the bjorn. You carry most of the weight on your hips and not your shoulders or back so you barely have pain unless you where baby for over 5 or 6 hours. I hope that helps.

You can use a workaround, the same way you would with an Ergo (YouTube search: Ergo hip carry). It's a little awkward to get setup, and not listed in the instructions, but doable :)

Technically, yes. However, it's too low and not as comfy as a real newborn stroller. I wouldn't recommend it.

I believe so. My husband and I go back and forth with this carrier and we've had no issues. When he's carrying our 2.5 year old there's still a lot of strap left over on all the adjustments. It really is a great carrier.

I would say no. It is basically an Ergo with different straps. The baby carry position is very similar.

Yes you can. It's a bit tight for the toddler in the back, but it is doable. My toddler liked to look at the infant in the carrier :)

Well, I wouldn't recommend carrying a baby that way but I guess it IS possible.

Absolutely! It does take some practice but it is perfectly doable. I'm fairly small myself and can get my daughter in and out of the carrier without assistance.

In my opinion yes it can and the instructions that come with the carrier show you how to position a baby to support the head. Its very snug and therefore will hold a newborn very securely. I used mine with my son after he was a month old and it was fine.

If you secure the carrier properly it would be safe. You would have to use either the supplied bungee cords or buy some that you would feel provide better support.

No...not if the plan seats have same leg as normal plane but they will most likely not allow the baby to be anywhere other than in your lap so I would bring strap on body carrier that what I did.

Yes it can, it is perfect for that. Sturdy, comfortable and adjusts as your baby grows. We love it!

I think you can wear baby on your hip and on your back, but because of the criss cross design it would be uncomfortable for a woman to wear baby on your back.

I am 5'4" and have an ergo baby carrier. This is a great question to ask. The carrier fits my husband who is 5'8" much better than it fits me. At my height, it sits very low on the hips, which I like because it helps equally distribute baby weight over the entire back. This is the reason I bought the carrier. It does a fantastic job of distributing weight across mom or dad's body. I also find it very safe as I am very clumsy and worry about falling with baby. I would def try it out before investing the $$$. For me, I regret this purchase. 1. My baby is very hot natured and gets too hot being next to me. 2. The newborn insert makes the carrier way too bulky for me. 3. This is designed for average or thin adults. This is not designed for large busted women or overweight women. There is not enough room for all of mom and a baby too. 4. My baby is small and not yet able to completely straddle me, so he does not sit comfortably. At 7 months, I am getting a frame backpack carrier for general toting around. I had one with his brother and he loved it. Plus it solves all of the above issues. I knew better but I wanted the closeness the Ergo provided. Good luck!

You can't. I wish you could. But for my 19lb 4 month old who can't sit on her own and HATES the carrier because she is smooshed.. this is a lifesaver!

No. Try the Ergobaby Four Position 360 Carrier to carry baby front forward facing. I found when baby was old enough to want to see around, hip wearing sufficed, and after that back wearing and he can see over or around my shoulder. Ergobaby is fantastic!

I'm thinking its not reccomended because the support straps to keep your baby upright cannot lock in around the legs and pelvis if they are swaddled. However me and my wife still swaddled and just didn't use the supports but if you do this it is at your own risk.

This would work great! It's seriously the most versatile carrier we have tried. I'm 5ft and my hubby is almost 6ft. We both use it fine. It's got a good wide bottom so it supports the baby properly instead of letting them dangle. Our son loves it and he's 15 months old and still has room to grow in it.
