IF you've ever gone on holiday with a small child, you'll know how difficult it can be to carry them around all day.
But a £20 product will transform your next trip away by making carrying your little one a lot easier.
Paraphee has designed the Hipster Baby Carrier – a belt which straps around a parent's waist and has a seat attached for a child to sit on.
The strap is similar to a bumbag and the seat sticks up and out so a toddler can be slotted on top, staying close to their parent.
By putting your child on the seat attached to the belt, their weight is more evenly distributed across your body compared to carrying them on your hip.
That means it's more comfortable holding them while you're walking through an airport or exploring on holiday.

The carrier is adjustable so can be altered to fit a parent and the maximum weight it can carry is 15kg so it's perfect for a toddler.
Travel blogger, mum and Tiktok user Jess, who goes by @whereisbriggs, shared a video of her walking through an airport while wearing a similar carrier.
She strapped the belt around her waist, buckled it up so it couldn't slip, and put her 17-month-old toddler on the seat.
That made it easier to carry him around as her arms, hip and back were taking less strain, so it was more comfortable to hold him for longer.

On her video, she wrote: "The hipseat baby carrier evenly distributes your baby's weight so you can carry your little one longer and more comfortably."
Because her son wasn't strapped into the seat, it was easy for him to get up and down when he wanted to walk.
Jess said: "I love it because my walking toddler can easily get down and back up again when he's tired of walking."
On top of that, the carrier has pockets which can be used to store anything from dummies to passports – and you might not even get charged for having an additional bag.
Jess captioned the video: "Also the airline didn't charge me extra to bring this onboard."
The Hipster Baby Carrier is available on Amazon for £19.99, and is a cheaper version of the Tushbaby carrier that Jess was wearing.
