Endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association and the Australian Breastfeeding Association, the Manduca Classic Baby Carrier positions baby’s knees higher than the bottom – creating an M shape which is orthopedically sound. Plus, it’s made from 100% organic cotton. One reviewer said, “My husband and I both used it, and it was the only way my baby would sleep while out and about! I could easily do exercises such as long walks and kanga training classes with Bub in the Manduca.”
