I picked up one of the cotton Manducas in the Mandala print before the birth of bub. Paired with the Size It, I used the carrier from about 6 weeks onwards.

The carrier can be used without the Size It accessory, using the built in newborn seat, but I found it easier to get bub in and out with it.

Adjustments are easy to make, and hubby and I can both use the carrier with minimal fiddling to fit our respective builds comfortably. The little built in hood is also helpful to encourage bub to nap on the go.

It’s also easy to launder. I place the whole carrier in an old pillow case to protect the clasps and put it on a gentle cycle with low spin.

Very happy with this carrier.

I purchased a manduca carrier a month after my second child was born as it was on clearance. I wish I had had one when I had my first! I can throw Bub in on unsettled days, do the groceries and run errands with ease, and even do housework while she sleeps on me. Found it easy and discrete to breast feed in.

This has been the best purchase, from newborn (thanks to the incorporated insert) to toddlerhood! Loved carrying my children in my manduca and hubby even gave it the seal of approval! Thanks Manduca! We don’t just have one we have 2, always kept in the car and easy to use. Love it!
