The Tushpuppy Hip Seat Pet Carrier is listed on Tushbaby at $98, with a rating of about 4.8 from 4 reviews at the time I checked on November 4, 2026. Check the final price at checkout, because prices change, and 4 reviews is a very small sample.
Tushbaby describes it as a carrier to help you comfortably carry your dog when they are tired, recovering, learning to walk, or simply craving closeness. It is for extra small to small dogs and cats, with a comfortable hip seat design for easier carrying, a built in harness connector for added security, and compatibility with the waistband extender to add up to 23 more inches.
I am not quoting a weight limit for the Hip Seat here, because the product text I checked did not give one clearly. That is different from the sling, which is up to 15 lbs. Check the product page for the current Hip Seat limit before you buy.
| Product | What it is | Price at check |
|---|---|---|
| Tushpuppy Hip Seat Pet Carrier | Waist seat design, extra small to small dogs and cats, harness connector, extender compatible | About $98 |
| Tushpuppy 2 in 1 Pet Sling Carrier | Crossbody sling or tote, small dogs up to 15 lbs, harness connector, secure to a harness, never a collar alone | About $92 |
The Hip Seat makes sense if you already love the baby Hip Carrier idea, and you want the same seat style for a pet who gets tired on walks, is recovering, is learning to walk, or just wants to be close and see the world. Reviewers on the product page described a pet sitting on a perch like seat, and a carrier that saved their shoulder compared to a hanging bag.
The sling makes sense if you want a crossbody or tote style, and a lighter carry for a small dog up to 15 lbs. Pick by how you want to carry, not by the name alone, because Tushpuppy now has two different pet products, and they are not the same thing.
For pets only, not for children. Do not put a child in a pet carrier, and do not put a pet in a baby carrier. They are different products, with different safety rules, even though they come from the same brand. Secure a pet to a harness, never a collar alone, and follow the manufacturer instructions for your exact product.
It is a hip seat pet carrier for extra small to small dogs and cats, for when they are tired, recovering, learning to walk, or craving closeness.
The sling is a crossbody sling or tote for small dogs up to 15 lbs. The Hip Seat is a waist seat design, listed at $98, and it is compatible with the waistband extender.
No. Tushpuppy products are for pets only, not for children. Baby carriers are not for pets, and pet carriers are not for children.
