Manduca - my baby carrier

The Manduca has everything a healthy baby carrier needs. It guarantees carrying comfort and ergonomics. With the Manduca, you get a baby carrier that is guaranteed not to pinch or press anywhere. Best of all, thanks to accessories—either integrated into the Manduca XT or available separately for the Manduca First—this carrier grows perfectly with your child.

We helped launch the Manduca in 2007 alongside designer and manufacturer Petra Schachtner of wickelkinder GmbH and have supported the brand ever since. We are your Manduca experts, as this baby carrier is practically our own "baby," too. As trained babywearing consultants from loeweli and trained partners of the Trageschule Dresden, we are happy to assist you with any questions regarding the Manduca. We love individuality. That’s why you won’t find standard stock photos here; instead, every single item has had its own unique photoshoot. Sadly, wickelkinder had to file for insolvency in September 2025. We are deeply saddened by this but are committed to honoring its rich legacy. The many awards won over the years speak volumes. The Manduca brand has been sold and continues to operate under the same name.

Manduca First Baby Carrier

The Manduca First is the tried-and-tested classic baby carrier for parents who value comfort, ergonomics, and durability. Thanks to an integrated back extension, it grows with the child and supports a natural M-position (spread-squat position). Ideal for families looking for a robust, straightforward carrier that lasts from the newborn stage through toddlerhood.

Manduca XT Baby Carrier

The Manduca XT is Manduca’s all-in-one baby carrier. It can be continuously adjusted to the child's size without the need for extra accessories—from birth right through to toddlerhood. An adjustable seat width, a back panel that grows with the child, and various carrying positions make it a flexible companion for everyday family life.

Manduca Twist Half-Buckle Carrier

The Manduca Twist combines the benefits of a wrap with the simplicity of a baby carrier. As a half-buckle system, it offers a particularly lightweight, soft feel and adapts perfectly to both baby and wearer thanks to its flexible fabric panels. Perfect for parents who love the closeness of a wrap but want greater convenience when putting it on.

Manduca Sling Baby Wrap

The Manduca Sling is a stretchy wrap made from high-quality organic cotton, designed specifically for the needs of newborns. It provides a sense of security, fosters bonding, and allows for close-contact carrying during the first months of life. Soft, snug, and comfortable to tie.

Manduca Doll Carrier

With the Manduca doll carrier, little siblings can carry their favorite dolls or stuffed animals just like the grown-ups.

This child-friendly carrier is modeled on the design of the original baby carriers and invites imaginative role-play – for an even greater sense of family in everyday life.
