Minimonkey Twin Carrier – Mesh

The Minimonkey Twin Sling is finally a simple to use, ergonomic way of carrying twins! No need to try and juggle your babies onto your back or try to make a stretchy or woven wrap work for you. While no twin carrying is as simple as carrying one baby, this is the easiest option we’ve ever found!

The Minimonkey TWIN is a ‘hip-healthy product’, certified by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.

This is the updated 2020 model of the Minimonkeytwin carrier -made totally out of airy mesh fabric, just like our Mini Sling, the design of the twin carrier has also been improved. This mesh version has a better fit than previous versions, which gives even very little babies better support and there more room for the legs. In addition, also the straps are easier to adjust when the babies are positioned in the carrier.

The Minimonkey twin carrier is tested and approved conform the EU standard CEN/TR 16512 – guidelines for the safety of children’s slings

From Minimonkey:

If 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…
