Description

Baby K’tan ready-to-wear wraps are ideal for parents who can’t face the usual 10-plus steps required to use a wrap carrier, but still want the snuggly closeness of one.

Made from soft breathable cotton, the Baby K’tan uses a unique patented double loop design with a one-way stretch to hold baby safely and securely in place. It’s buckle-free and slips on like a tee-shirt quickly and comfortably.

It offers five carry positions that transition from a sling wrap position for newborns to an upright seated position for babies and toddlers up to 35 lbs. (It does require some practice to master the steps of adjusting the material into various positions, but instructions and videos are endless.)

The wrap is approved Hip Healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute and also supports easy breastfeeding on the go. It comes with a carrying pouch that doubles as a supportive sash for your back.

Like most wraps, the K’tan is best for smaller babies. It doesn’t have structured support to carry heavier babies for long periods of time. And unlike a typical wrap, the Baby K’tan comes in specific sizes—a partner or caregiver whose body size is different from yours won’t be able to share it. The carrier size generally corresponds to your fitted (tight) T-shirt size. If you’re in-between sizes, size down. The carrier is meant to fit snugly. And if you’re pregnant, select your pre-pregnancy size.

3 Questions
Is there a minimum size for baby? We’re bringing home a premie soon who will probably only be around 5-6lbs?

This carrier has a weight range of 8 to 35 lbs. You'd want to consult your pediatrician if your baby weighs under 8 lbs.

Can you nurse while using?

Absolutely! There is a bit of a learning curve for both mama and baby, but you can definitely breastfeed while using this carrier.

Is this exchangable if I order the wrong size?

Not a fan
Personally, I got this and immediately wanted to return it but it wouldn't let me. It didn't fit right and it was extremely uncomfortable. The material feels like a cheap t-shirt.. It just wasn't for me.

Returned - not stretchy and not soft
Returned this item. So sad it didn’t work out. Runs small and the material is an awful thick and itchy cotton. Not stretchy at all

My favorite carrier! Used it from when my daughter was a newborn to almost 1! She still fits, but is too on the move to be contained these days

Super simple! I have the Moby wrap, and this is so much quicker! I recommend sizing up one though. This feels too tight/uncomfortable. I can't wear for now since my daughter is only 8lbs, but I don't think this will work for me when she's bigger.

Love this carrier! So easy to use once you figure it out after number of tries! Make sure you get the right fit. Should be snug or will be too loose. Can wash and dry! Only con is that it is heavy and warm material so if it's summer or you love in warm weather, be careful- baby can easily overheat especially if you both run hot.

Must-have!
I love this wrap! I am 1 month postpartum and I take out my newborn all the time using the wrap. I put her in the kangaroo position and she falls asleep instantly. I haven't even used my stroller yet because I haven't need it. It takes a few minutes to put on and set up, but it is still faster and easier than other carriers!

Best baby wearer!
Love this so much! Can easily pack into a diaper bag if you want to wear your baby on the go. I had to watch a few tutorials online to get the hang of it, but once I did it was so easy to put baby in the sling.

Wasn’t for me, too difficult to get on and off by myself. I wanted to love it, just happier with something that clips to my chest

Didn’t fit
Size chart is not accurate I ordered the size the chart told me to and my daughter didn’t fit inside
