Fragen

• Can I get my baby onto my back with the manduca unaided?
• The three-point buckle fastening of the waist belt is a great idea, but it’s pretty annoying to always have to put my baby down before I can unfasten the belt.
• What are the elastic loops on the straps by the fastenings for?

• Can I get my baby onto my back with the manduca unaided?
  
  Of course you can! Have another look at the instructions that come with every manduca. Your first attempts should be assisted by someone else, or at least undertaken over a soft surface and/or in front of a mirror, until you feel confident about how to do it.

  On the Internet, as well as in day-to-day practice, you will find various ways to get your baby up onto your back. Our instructions, however, only detail one method, which we believe to be the easiest and safest. Try it out!

  With a bit of experience and practice you will quickly learn how to open the buckle fastening with three fingers of one hand. All the parents who tested the manduca managed it – and if they could, you will be able to as well. 
  A practical alternative is to leave the manduca® on and let the main panel hang down in front of you like an apron when the baby is not in the carrier. Many parents have found this to be the simplest solution when their baby is out of the manduca® for short periods. 

  We are aware that the three-point buckle fastening is a bit more complicated to release than a standard one. However, we felt that the main priority was to ensure that the fastening can’t be opened by accident, for example by means of a parent’s trouser button pressing on the release mechanism or a jealous sibling pulling on the waist belt.

• What are the elastic loops on the straps by the fastenings for?
  For your comfort and to increase the manduca’s safety still further, all strap and belt fastenings lie on a padded part of the strap or belt, on which there is an elastic safety loop. This is why you should always pull the quick fixes tight enough so that they come to rest behind the loops and on the padding.
