Rank #6 in Best Baby Carriers 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Weight Limits That Don't Match
MOMTORY Newborn Baby Carrier with Hip Seat, 3–12 kg
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MOMTORY Baby Carrier for Newborns is a hip seat carrier with a buckle-up front, priced at £29.99 and sitting sixth in this guide on a 4.6-star average from 1,233 ratings. Its headline weight range, "3-12kg" in the title, is one of the few in this guide that survives contact with the specification fields: the listing's own Minimum Weight Recommendation reads 3 Kilograms and its Maximum Weight Recommendation reads 12 Kilograms. On the three carriers above it, the copy claimed a ceiling the spec field did not back up. MOMTORY does not do that — the two numbers match.
The field that does not sit comfortably is the age range. The listing states "Newborn to Toddler", while the only hard limit it gives anywhere is 12 kilograms — a figure many toddlers pass well before the word "toddler" stops applying, so the useful number here is the weight, not the age label. Two more fields are easy to misread: Item Weight is 590 g, which is the carrier on its own and not a baby weight, and the customer breakdown on the listing sums to 100 rather than to 1,233, so it reads as a percentage split — 79 of those 100 entries are five-star — not as counts. As with everything on this page, all of it comes from the Amazon listing rather than from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Brilliant for how cheap it is! I usually use a wrap with my baby as she is only 5 weeks, bought this for my partner but after testing it out I love it.”
Verified purchase“Great carrier really simple to use and good firm support for when you still need to move around with your baby definitely supports my little one's weight and makes our dog walks easier rather than having to use the pram”
