Every Friday, we will be sharing products / gadgets / websites / books & other cool stuff that mamas love. These things have made parenting a teeny bit easier in some way or other. Check back every week to see what fellow mums have to recommend... from one mama to another. :)

As we all know, there are quite a few carriers available in the market, but there are only a handful of good and of high quality ones. This, in my opinion, is one I can happily recommend to others =)
Manduca Baby Carrier
Here's more about it :
- It can be used from birth
- Baby can be carried on your back, side or front! I tried carrying Brie on my back and my front so far! =)
When I was checking out different booths at a recent event (and I very well knew Brie was alert and was not at all sleepy), I carried her on my back so I had a 'free front' allowing me to chat with people more conveniently (and I moved her to my front when she's sleepy).
- It has an extendable head support and also a sunshade, which is easier than trying to keep a hat on your the baby
- The weight of the baby is supported by the waist, not much strain on the back
Note: When carrying Brie on my back, it does feel like carrying a backpack =) And if I'm going off hiking or something, I'm definitely carrying Brie on my back with this carrier, ie. free up my hands and my 'frontal view' too.
- The straps around the waist and back can be adjusted easily to fit small and large framed adults
- The buckle around the waist has an added security where you don't just undo the buckle, but you also need to 'press' one part of the buckle at the same time to release the clasp.
(note: at first it took me quite a while to get the hip buckle off. By now, 70% of the time I can do it with just one hand *yay*)
- Not bulky! I can easily 'fold' the carrier and put it under my pram. More convenient to bring out and use when I'm alone with just the 3 kids.
...
The features that I hope can be better :
- The clip. When I'm putting the carrier on, so far I still need someone's help to put the clip on (in the photo where I carried Brie on my front, there's a clip on my back that connects the two shoulder straps).
May be I'm just not used to putting it on all on my own like other moms yet =)
- I do hope there's a small pocket somewhere so I can put my keys or something, just for that extra convenience when traveling light with a baby =)
