We here at CMA find that we prefer some carriers for hip carry and different ones for back carry. However, when you're shopping for a carrier, many people would like to be able to buy one carrier that can do all the major positions and act as a front carrier, a back carrier AND a hip carrier.

If you're looking for one do-it-all carrier, here are our recommendations:
