Manduca Baby Carrier
Voted “Best Buy” by Mother&Baby magazine when tested against other leading baby carriers and slings (April/May 2010)
I received my during the week and I was so excited!! I opened it straight away and started reading the instructions, my Mum was there at the time and she was very curious and read the manual after me. I started to check all the clips out and all the straps to see how everything adjusted. Since I had been told I had contagious tonsillitis the previous day my Mum was given the first go! We popped it on and popped bubba in to try it out for comfort to start with. I needed to help my Mum (who is in her 60's, I love she has a go at anything!) found it a bit tricky to get the strap behind her head but I did that for her. It sat comfortably on her frame and bubba was very happy as she likes to be carried around anytime she can. I got to try it out yesterday for the first time!! YAY! thanks to a extensive course of antibiotics and I used to help me get some of my chores around the house down. I found it really comfortable and the material and make of the carrier is very high quality. I loved how you use the little section inside to secure bubba. I knew there was no way she was going to fall out especially when it comes to taking it off. She was a very happy camper as I pottered around and tidied the mess that had accumulated around the place for the last few days. She was very secure and I got lots of my jobs done. She wanted out when she started to get tired so she may not want to sleep in it but I want to try and test that next week. She did have a good suck on the left arm padding which was a bit wet but it looks like a easy to clean fabric, which I will try out after next time as she will probably slobber on it again anyway. So far I must say I love this carrier!!
