We have designed the manduca® with absolute attention to detail – inspired by the many ideas and suggestions our customers have given us over the years.
A real innovation
The combination of an integrated seat insert and an optional back extension is, as far as we know, 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 paraphernalia.
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.
We 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 us too: we have equipped the manduca® with shoulder straps which can be adjusted in three different ways and a conically shaped waist belt which is a perfect fit for women'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 keeping baby there safely.
That's why we searched high an low to find a waist belt buckle with a three-point fastening system, making it effectively impossible to release accidentally.
