Here's what the manufacturer says about this baby carrier:
The twin baby carrierThe Minimonkey TWIN equals the ergonomic carrying way of a traditional wrap, wins on comfort, user friendliness and safety!This carrier can be used as of newborn (± 3kg ~ 6.5 lbs) to 12kg (~26.5 lbs) each baby.Babies are carried in this baby carrier in an upright position on your belly, with the bottom low and thighs higher and spread wide; also referred to as the M-Position or Frog Position. Experts recommend this ergonomic position for carrying babies because it can have a positive effect on the development of their hips. The Minimonkey TWIN is a ‘hip-healthy product’, certified by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.The comfortable twin carrierIf you search the internet you will probably learn that the most ergonomic way of carrying your baby is to carry your baby in a wrap. In a wrap the baby can be carried in the ergonomic M-position and the weight is divided over your whole upper body. Comfortable for you and good for your baby.But what about carrying twins? Is carrying your twins in a wrap also possible? Yes it is, however it needs a lot of practice, skills and for most people it is simply too complicated.In the last couple of years, I was contacted by many parents whether I had an easy and comfortable solution for carrying their twins (from newborn), because it simply didn’t exist. This is where the puzzle started. I challenged myself to create (together with babywearing consulants and parents) a twin carrier that was:Comfortable – the wide shoulder straps in combination with the waistband divides the weight of the babies over your whole upper body. This makes it surprisingly light to carry.Suitable for both newborn and older babies (max 12kg each baby).Ergonomic – babies can be carried in the M-Position with the neck and back fully supported, comparable to the carrying way of a wrap.Easy to use – intuitive to use and not many instructions to follow. After adjusting the carrier in the right size, the babies are placed in the pouches and tightened with a small buckle. You can do this by yourself. The carrier is designed as simple as possible to ensure the product self-explanatory.Safe – the waistband prevents the baby from slipping out of the carrier.This is for all the young parents out there who had to become ‘mulitaskers’ overnight…❤️ Margot Visser (founder Minimonkey, Amsterdam)Tutorial Minimonkey TWIN carrier.
