Manduca XT - Grey/Orange Tester (SSC330) Check Availability

Overview

Manduca are one of the most popular babywearing brands in Europe - and much requested by sling library users who have heard them being raved about by friends on the continent (particularly in Germany, where the brand is based).

Their carriers are really built to last, with great sustainability credentials (organic cotton and hemp as their materials) and lots of clever features for comfortable and adjustable babywearing.  

I really like them!

The XT model has an integrated width adjuster so you can easily make the panel the exact width for your child (20-50cm). This means there is no need for an infant seat or insert. If you're carrying a child who is over 3 months old, you'll likely find the Manduca First (the original carrier) is equally as straightforward.

I like to do a pre-clipped method - there's a great Carrying Matters photo tutorial for this here (works with lots of carriers and is fab to save you having to do up a clip behind your back with one hand and wiggly baby)
