Newbie Love premium cushioned wrap baby carrier has been acknowledged as a hip healthy baby carrier by the IDHI (the International Hip Dysplasia Institute).

According to the IDHI, Newbie Love is "acknowledged as hip healthy when used as directed" and Newbie Love was recognised for developing products that consider the importance of hip development during infancy.
