The Manduca Baby and Kids Carrier has been designed in Germany by Wickelkinder GmbH.  Orthopaedically designed and packed with features, the Manduca baby carrier is one of the most versatile and comfortable soft-structured carriers on the market.

Following is everything you need to know about Manduca Carriers but if you ask anyone who has used one, they will rave about how comfortable and user-friendly it is!

Main features of Manduca:

•Can be used for newborns (from 3.5kg) and for children up to 20kg (about four years old).
•Includes an integrated infant seat insert.
•Has an integrated back-extension for older babies and toddlers

The Manduca allows your baby or toddler to be automatically carried in an orthopaedically correct position ('M' position), i.e. sitting position with legs spread to the side, and knees higher than hips.

In the Manduca you carry your child comfortably close to your body. You can carry your child on your front or on your back. The ergonomic and adjustable waist belt allows for baby's weight to be carried on your hips, preventing back pain. The padded shoulder straps can be worn straight over the shoulders, like a backpack, or crossed.

All materials used for making Manduca are specially tested and controlled for harmful substances.

Detailed Description

Perfectly thought through Wicklekinder GmbH have designed the manduca® with absolute attention to detail – inspired by the many ideas and suggestions their customers have given them over the years.

A real innovation
The combination of an integrated infant seat insert, and the option to extend the back is, as far as Wickelkinder GmbH knows, utterly unique, making the manduca®'s reputation as the innovation among soft structured carriers well deserved.

Thanks to this winning combination we can truly say the manduca® grows with your child. From birth to 20kg. With absolutely no need for expensive extra accessories.

Back-friendly
If a good sling or carrier is like carrying your baby in your arms, it should also support your baby's back like a ‘third hand‘, keeping its spine very slightly ‘hunched‘ and its legs tucked up and spread a little.

Wicklekinder GmbH have consciously refrained from padding the main panel of the manduca®, so that it ‘fits‘ your baby rather than the other way round – just like a wrap sling.

Hidden, deep tucks in the manduca®'s seat area make sure your baby is held in the correct 'M' position while the leg openings are generously padded for maximum comfort.

Absolute comfort
Parents' maximum comfort is important to Wickelkinder GmbH too: the manduca® has been equipped with shoulder straps which can be adjusted in three different ways and a conically shaped waist belt which is a perfect fit for woman's waists and hips – but will fit dads like a dream too.

Safety first
When you are wearing your baby right up close to your body without any other securing device, the waist belt has a vital role in keping baby there safely.  That's why Wickelkinder GmbH searched high and low to find a waist belt buckle with a three-point fastening system, making it effectively impossible to release accidentally.
