It makes it very easy to pick up and put down your kiddos for those moments when they just wanted to talk or see or just be close - and then wanted to go back to their play. It is also comfortable and quick and easy to put on and take off. I remember several times having it on and completely forgetting that it was there. I could go on about this but instead of that I posted this Amazon link that includes several reviews. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hippychick-HIP001-Hipseat/dp/B000NI2YEE Specifically designed to address one of the root causes of adult back pain, the seat provides a firm shelf for the child to sit on and supports their increasingly heavy weight from underneath. Instead of twisting the spine, the back stays straight and the child is tucked into the chest on whichever side is more comfortable for the wearer, providing comfort and security for both adult and child. $20
