What is so unique about the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier?
The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is a cross between a sling and a more
structured front carrier, providing the positions and benefits of both.
Babies can be snuggled, carried upright and can even be carried on
your hip. Unlike traditional slings which concentrate your baby’s
weight load on one shoulder, the Baby K'tan Baby Carrier’s unique
double-loop design distributes your child’s weight across both of
your shoulders and back; no more back or neck pain. The second
loop also helps secure your baby snugly to your body providing an
extra level of safety while on the go.
What is the difference between the Baby K’tan and a wrap?
The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is a ready to wear carrier, providing all the versatility of a wrap without
any of the complicated wrapping. Both a wrap and the Baby K’tan will give you the same end
result, but the Baby K’tan is simple to put on; the Baby K’tan is pre-wrapped and sized to the
wearer, which allows it to be worn without any wrapping or adjusting. Additionally, the Baby K’tan
is lighter and has less fabric than a wrap.
What are the age/weight limits of the Baby K’tan?
The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is tested for quality and safety for carrying babies from 8 lb. all the way
up to 35 lb. (consult your pediatrician for information on using the Baby K’tan with a preemie).
Please read all instructions (Pg. 6-12) and safety warnings (Pg. 16-17) before using our carrier.
Can my partner and I wear the same Carrier?
The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is offered in sizes XS, S, M, L and XL. Please refer to our sizing chart
(online or on the side of the box) to determine if you and your partner can wear the same size
carrier or if it is beneficial for you to order two different size carriers. We strongly recommend that
each wearer uses the correct size carrier.
Is the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier adjustable?
We have designed the Baby K'tan to ensure the safety and comfort of both parent and baby. The
carrier has NO buckles, rings, snaps, metal or plastic hoops that could potentially come undone or
cause discomfort. When the correct size carrier is purchased, our Baby Carrier is structured to fit
the wearer in a secure, comfortable and snug fashion. Therefore, no adjusting is necessary. To get
a tighter fit, simply wash and tumble dry.
Is the Baby K’tan good for my baby?
Yes! Babies enter the world with easily over-stimulated nervous systems. Infants that are carried in
slings, wraps and baby carriers experience the stimulating sounds, sights and smells that their
parent experiences, while at the same time being swaddled in a secure and comfortable position,
providing safety and assurance to the infant. Our baby carrier offers a gentle way of transitioning
your baby from the calm environment of the womb to that of the outside world. Read more about
