Manduca Baby Carrier

Voted “Best Buy” by Mother&Baby magazine (April/May 2010) when tested against other leading baby carriers and slings.

About the Manduca Baby Carrier

Fantastically versatile and created to the highest standards, the Manduca Baby Carrier is the Rolls Royce of Carriers. Suitable from birth to pre-school, the Manduca is highly adjustable and grows with your child, positioning them in an anatomically correct position throughout, regardless of age.

An integrated insert allows newborns to be safely held whilst a hidden head support can be unfolded when required. In addition, an ingenious extendable back provides great comfort for children up to 20kg, or around four years of age.

Back friendly

The Manduca is kind to parents' backs too with an anatomically-shaped waist belt which redistributes the weight from the shoulders to the hips and can be adjusted for parents of all sizes. The Manduca also offers a convenient hip carry position and back carry position. Whichever way you choose to carry your baby, they'll always be close enough to kiss!

A good carrying aid should support your baby’s back like a third hand, the spine slightly curved, the legs bent and slightly spread. The back of the Manduca Baby Carrier is therefore deliberately not padded so as to allow for an optimal position -just like a sling. In the bum area, deep hidden darts allow the hips and legs of the baby to adapt the correct “M-Position” at which the leg cutouts are extra padded.

Comfortable

The 3-way adjustable shoulder straps allow for maximum comfort, as well as the tapered hip strap that fits both the female and male waist and hips perfectly.

Safe

When your child lies on your body without any other direct safety functions then the hip strap takes on a load-bearing function. So Manduca searched a long time until they found a hip belt buckle with a 3-point-safety buckle function. Therefore it is practically impossible for the Manduca Baby Carrier to come undone.

No accessories needed!

The Manduca Baby Carrier has an integrated retractable seat, extra long waist belt and expandable back. This means there are no extra accessories to pay for. Even better, the shipping on the Manduca is FREE.
