Tushbaby LiftOff Toddler Sling

No — and this matters. The LiftOff is a support sling. It carries your toddler’s weight so your arm does not have to, but you keep one hand across their back the whole time. If you want hands-free, you need a structured carrier with a full harness instead.

Toddlers 18 months and older, between 25 and 55 lb (11–25 kg). They need to sit up unaided and hold their head and trunk steady. It is not a newborn or infant carrier.

It moves their weight from your forearm onto your shoulder and back, which most parents find a lot easier. It is still one-sided though, so swap shoulders now and then. If you have back, shoulder or pelvic problems, check with a physiotherapist first.

Yes. The strap adjusts across a wide range and works over either shoulder, so you can hand it over without refitting anything.

Worn correctly their legs straddle you in the M-position, with knees higher than their bottom — the seated position paediatric physios recommend for hip development. Legs should never dangle straight down; if they do, the seat is too small a portion under their bottom or sitting too low.

Yes. Fasten the strap so it does not tangle, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle on its own, then air dry flat. No tumble dryer — heat damages the padding and webbing.
