As a busy mom of two little ones, I am always looking for ways to stay more organized. I found this to be especially important after the birth of our second baby. I not only was now looking after a toddler, but also caring for a baby which meant keeping track of the diapers, pacifiers, bottles, etc. Having products that help my day run more smoothly and make day to day tasks easier is a must...which is why I was thrilled when introduced to he HippMAMA Belt!

After the birth of her second child, Shannon realized the need for a product that would help her keep everything she needed with her all the time. Whether it be cups, pacifiers, rattles her cell phone, or something else...she didn't have time to be running around the house trying to keep track of them all. That's when the idea for the HippMAMA Belt was born...a stylish tool belt for moms that allowed her to carry everything on her hips.

The HippMAMA Belt is one of those products that has me thinking....why didn't I think of that. It's one of those must-have items that all moms need and should have. That's why I was excited to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review one.

• Sleek alternative to a bulky diaper bag
• Ideal for the at home mom or on the go
• Have all your baby needs at your fingertips
• Convenient easy in and easy out pouches
• Hands are free to care for children, push stroller,
• Perfect belt for outings and errands
• Great for mothers of multiples, nannies, caregivers
• Makes moms daily activities easier
• Wipes clean with wet cloth
• Made of durable neoprene, liquids stay cool/warm
• Belts have brown pouches with choice of trim colors

Upon pulling the HippMAMA Belt out of the box, I was already impressed with the way it came packaged. It comes in a durable plastic bag with snaps. I love having something I can easily slip it back into when it's not in use.

As I checked the HippMAMA Belt over for the first time, I was amazed with the quality. Made of durable neoprene, I can tell this is a tool belt that will last me a long time! The pictures online do not even do it justice. The stitching and fabrics used are high quality and something I really appreciate! I can tell a lot of time was taken to make sure this is something that will hold up to the wear and tear of daily use.

All the HippMAMA belts have brown pouches with choice of trim colors. I chose the orange (polka dots) and am so happy I did. It really suits my personality and I love that I can wear it with anything I'm wearing.

It couldn't have been easier to put on either. With the easy to use buckle, I am able to put it on and take if off with ease. I love that the belt adjusts easily and fits up to a 46 inch waist. It also includes an additional 10 inch extender...so it's sure to fit each mom perfectly.

With 5 pouches, all various sizes....I have a place for everything I need. I really like that they're different sizes, as it's easy for me to carry everything from a pacifier and cell phone, to large items like a sippy cup or diaper. The neat thing about the pouches is that they easily come on and off with Velcro. This allows me to place them anywhere around the belt and use as many or as few of them as I need. Customization is always nice, so this is something I really appreciate as well.


The belt includes:

• Bottle pouch
• Sippy cup pouch
• Cell phone pouch
• Diaper/Wip pouch
• Hidden zipper ID pouch
  
• Key ring
• Burp cloth or bib ring

Offering so many things, I've been able to use this many times instead of a diaper bag. Whether I'm at home or out running errands...it's come in very handy to have everything I need within reach. I could especially see this coming in handy in the summer time when we're outside at the park or on trip to the zoo.

Overall I've been very impressed with the HippMAMA Belt and would definitely consider it a Mommy Must-have for sure! I can't believe I have gone so long without something like this, but am so happy to have it now. The quality is great and the convenience and ease it adds to my daily routine is incredible.
