Testimonials & Reviews
I used my Manduca today for about an hour while shopping. This time I tried it with the straps crossed over before putting bub in. I found this to be more difficult than crossing the straps over once bub is in the carrier. I was quite comfortable although had a slight pain in my hips initially. After some adjusting of the hip strap, the pain was gone. I found the straps pulled on my shoulders slightly but not too bad. My daughter and I love the front carry position because she is so close to me and she can turn her head into my chest if she is shy or tired.
Next well try the back carry, maybe tomorrow when we head out and about. I had every intention of taking photos today but completely forgot! Tomorrow…
I also agree with those who have mentioned about the instruction manual. I found it difficult to follow and find the English instructions on each page.
I don’t think a DVD should be included, thats an extra expense/ packaging. The YouTube videos are sufficient. Perhaps the instruction manual should have a website listed which has links to YouTube videos.
I also think providing a carry bag would be handy (to store the Manduca when not in use).

The manduca 3-in-1 baby carrier really does grow with your child from newborn to pre-school, making it excellent value, as you will use it for years.
From birth, it’s a baby front carrier, with your newborn held safely by the built-in infant pouch (newborn insert). From approximately three months old, your Manduca carrier becomes a baby hip carrier, then finally, from 6 months, a baby back carrier.
Unfold the hidden head and neck support (when needed), to cradle your baby’s sleeping head. The ingenious extendable back provides great support for bigger children (up to 20kg) or extra head support for newborns.
"Just a quick note to thank you for sending the Manduca Baby Carrier. I've ended up using it every day. Sapphira loves it, it's comfortable for both of us, and makes breastfeeding in public so easy. I took her around Taraonga Zoo recently. Here we are in the gondola." Tara Moss.

*Baby’s knees are higher than their bottom – creating an M shape – orthopedically ideal. The M position corresponds to a baby’s natural position and helps their hips to mature as nature intended. The baby’s knees are pulled up, often as high as the tummy button. In this way, the baby’s legs and bottom form a capital “M”.

International Babywearing Week at the inaugural Sydney Manduca Babywearing Walk, October 5 2010, at Manly Beach.
The theme this year is “Safe Babywearing. Close enough to kiss.”
Manly turned on a beautiful day for the Sydney Manduca Baby wearing Walk to launch International Baby wearing Week.
Mums (and one dad!) wearing their babies walked the length of Manly Beach before congregating for a picnic at the Queenscliff playground.
How delightful to see so many mums and bubs enjoying the closeness of baby wearing.
