The Manduca Baby Carrier combines German innovation, design and style with practicality, and is both comfortable for a baby and wearer. Baby is carried in an orthopaedically correct way, with the knees positioned higher than their bottom, which gives a broad sitting base to support thighs, and is helpful for reducing pressure on the spine.
New to Australia but number one in Germany, it is made from a 100% peached organic cotton on the inside and a hemp mix on the outside, and contains non-toxic dyes, straps and clips, so baby can suck on the Manduca in safety. Simple to use, it has lots of room for adjustment (hip belt can extended to 140 cm) and includes:
- Two-handed waist clip for added security
- Built-in headrest/sunshade that tucks away when not in use
- Built-in newborn insert
- Accommodates newborn babies from 3.5kg to toddlers weighing 20kg
- Can be worn on the front (pictured above), side and back (pictured below)
- Voted “Best Buy” by Mother & Baby magazine when tested against other leading carriers and slings (April/May 2010)
- Endorsed by Australian Physiotherapy Association
- 3 year guarantee
- Replaceable parts
- Can be worn with straps crossed at the back
