To get straight to the point: there are a lot of things you can do with your baby in the manduca. Sometimes even we are surprised by the variety of exercise possible with the manduca. However, some of you may be wondering what kind of sport with baby you can carry out and which activities are better avoided.
As a rule of thumb, you should always remember to keep one foot on the floor. When doing exercise with the baby, it is crucial not to make any sudden, jerky movements and NOT to jump. Another important issue is the age of your child, because the smaller a baby is, and the less head control she/he has, the gentler and smoother the movements should be.
Workout with baby: exercises you can perform
With the following physical activities, you are on the safe side, as long as one foot is always in contact with the ground:
- • hiking
- • Nordic Walking
- • Kangatraining
- • dancing (any type of dancing without jumps or sudden movements – that means: no Zumba or Rock ’n’ Roll! Recommended is e.g. “Burzzi Dance”)
Hiking and walking are typical manduca activities. The sportier ones amongst you could try Kangatraining. Kangatraining is healthy, safe and good for you and your child. Kangatraining was invented by Nicole Pascher and is a special workout specifically designed for the needs of mother and child. Here you can be sure that the trained coaches have made sure that all movements are safe and comfortable for the baby. And you get into a real sweat as Kangatraining is pretty intense! Why not try it out for yourself? Perhaps there is a kanga coach in your area, or just watch the Kanga DVD (in 4 languages German, English, Spanish and French).
More dancing is offered in special baby dancing courses, such as the Burzzi-Dance in Austria by Daniela Gebelhaider (carrying consultant and founder of Burzzi Dance). The Motto of Burzzi Dance is “We want to see you dance!”
Whatever you are planning to do sports-wise, make sure that you as parents can take the responsibility for it, especially when you are working out on your own and don’t want to join a supervised fitness course. Because in Kangatraining and Burzzi Dance courses, babywearing advice is offered in addition to the exercise program – it takes place before the course starts! We think this kind of luxury is absolutely worth it – and we highly recommend it.
… but in the instruction it says: ” … not suitable for use during sporting activities”?
In the manduca instructions you will find this:
WARNING: This carrier is not suitable for use during sporting activities.
The reason for this is quite simple: In Europe, the product safety of baby carriers is tested in accordance with the European standard (EN12309). According to this standard, instructions for baby carriers have to include specific warnings. And as these have to be as short, as general and as precise as possible, we don’t find a detailed list of sporting activities. At first glance, this warning seems to exclude all kinds of sport – that literally means even chess. This calls for subtle thinking because not all sports are alike.
Riding and riding a bike
Quite often, we are asked if it is possible to get on a bike with the manduca. The answer is no!
In Germany, this is not only our recommendation, it is simply not allowed due to the German road traffic regulations which stipulate that a special seat is required for the transport of children on a bike. And as the manduca is clearly not a special bicycle seat, the rule is that children in the manduca are not to be transported on a bike.
Another question we have heard concerns horse riding with children in baby carriers. We would strongly advise against this! It is simply too dangerous for the small child’s body because horse riding is a jerky, bouncing activity that involves the risk of falling and other accidents. Please find someone to take good care of your baby before you take to the saddle!
No sports – these are absolute no-nos in the manduca
To summarize: with your child in the manduca you should
- • not ride a bike
- • not drive a car
- • not climb or hike on Alpine trails
- • not ski
- • not dance Rock’nRoll or Zumba
- • avoid high-impact exercises, that involve jerky, bouncing movements and jumps (rope skipping, trampoline, ball sports, jogging, zumba, and so on.)
Be active – while safely babywearing
So please leave your (motor) bikes and horses in the stable when you carry your baby in the manduca, and instead go for gentle walks. The majority of low impact activities are okay. Here, nothing can happen to your child because low impact means you keep one foot on the ground and no heavy jumps with both legs are involved.
If you are unsure, you are welcome to contact us with your question! And before you begin exercising right after giving birth, please ask your midwife about when to start an exercise program. She will know when you are ready to start fitness training again.

The exceptions are when you are asked to do so by the post author, other comment authors or you have a resource to link to (other than your own domain) that is highly related to the post topic and adds more value to the post content.
Leaving links in comments is not a good look and most readers will label you a spammer if you do this.
Personally, i don’t think its a great idea to use your company, business, product or service name in the comment author’s name field. In my opinion, this is spammy.
Always best to ask first if its ok to leave a link unless its to a url on the same site you are commenting on or a site with no ads. Examples: Wikipedia, Google or WordPress.org codex etc.
An avatar should be an image of the comment authors face and the name should be the real name of the comment author.
Something i don’t do enough of is comment on the same topic i have just written about based on my own personal experience.

Thanks for the strategies you are giving on this website. Another thing I’d really like to say is the fact that getting hold of duplicates of your credit profile in order to scrutinize accuracy of each detail will be the first action you have to perform in credit improvement. You are looking to clear your credit profile from damaging details mistakes that mess up your credit score.
This is really interesting, You are a very skilled blogger. I’ve joined your rss feed and look forward to seeking more of your fantastic post. Also, I’ve shared your site in my social networks!
Thanks for your blog post. The things i would like to bring about is that computer memory ought to be purchased when your computer still cannot cope with everything you do with it. One can install two random access memory boards having 1GB each, by way of example, but not certainly one of 1GB and one of 2GB. One should look for the company’s documentation for one’s PC to make sure what type of memory space is required.
The things i have often told persons is that when evaluating a good on-line electronics retail outlet, there are a few variables that you have to remember to consider. First and foremost, you need to make sure to discover a reputable plus reliable retail store that has received great reviews and ratings from other consumers and marketplace leaders. This will make certain you are getting along with a well-known store that provides good assistance and aid to its patrons. Thank you for sharing your ideas on this blog.
Hey
I had visited your store last month, and I saw a very nice Hiking products, i wanne buy.
But I have a question, today I wanted to order it, but can not find the item anymore in your store.

Mail me if you are going to sell it again.
I hope soon so that I can place an order.
I’ll wait.
Yours truly
