The Baby K’tan® Baby Carrier is a soft natural cotton baby carrier with an innovative hybrid design that
is a cross between a wrap and a more structured front carrier, providing the positions and benefits of
both, plus more! There is no other carrier available like it. It is NOT a wrap. It is NOT a sling. It IS
unstructured, soft and easy to use, allowing you to comfortably carry your child from 8 - 35 lbs in
multiple wearing positions. The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is like many carriers in one.
COMFORTABLE, SUPPORTIVE AND EASY TO USE
The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is made entirely of soft, breathable 100% natural cotton fabric (or half
natural cotton, half breathable mesh for Baby K’tan Breeze Carriers) and is azo-dye free. It is strong and
durable enough to carry your baby hands-free from 8 to 35 pounds. The cross-stretch in the fabric creates
a comfortable and secure pouch to hold your baby, and the second loop of fabric provides added
security for your baby and support for your back and shoulders.
It is incredibly easy to use and store!
• No latches, buckles, rings, snaps, zippers or clasps.
• No unflattering bulky fabric.
• No wrapping or complicated instructions.
• Machine washable and dryer safe.
• Comes with a handy storage tote.
The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is made up of two loops of fabric connected with an adjustable back
support band. Simply place the two loops over your head and around your neck like a necklace, slip
one arm through one loop and the other arm through the second loop...WOW! It’s that easy!
WHY USE A BABY CARRIER?
Studies have shown that using a baby carrier is beneficial for parent-child bonding and your baby’s
development. Very young babies who are carried in a baby carrier are typically more content, less
fussy and less likely to experience colic.
Babies Cry Less
Research has shown that babies who are carried cry LESS (on average). In cultures where babies are
carried almost continuously babies tend to cry less than those in non-carrying cultures.
Good for Baby's Mental Development
Babies spend more time in a "quiet, alert state" when carried - the ideal state for learning. Their senses
are stimulated while being carried (yet there is also a place to retreat). When carried, your baby sees
the world from where you do, instead of the ceiling above his/her crib or people's knees from a
stroller. And the extra stimulation promotes brain development.
Good for Baby's Emotional Development
Babies are quickly able to develop a sense of security and trust when they are carried. They are more
likely to be securely attached to their caregivers and often become independent at an earlier age.
Good for Baby's Physical Development
By being so close to your body's rhythms, your newborn "gets in rhythm" much more quickly. Your
heartbeat, breathing, voice and warmth are all familiar. Research has shown that this helps newborns
to adapt to life outside the womb.
Good for Babies Whose Caregivers Are Overwhelmed
Babies who are not held need more verbal interaction and eye contact, just to be reassured that
you're there. Carrying your baby is a great way to connect with him or her (and provide stimu-
