Can the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier be used for children with special needs?

Yes, it can. It is well known that children with developmental delays and special needs benefit 

from being carried close to the wearer. The Baby K’tan creates the ideal environment for develop-

ment  and  growth.  At  the  same  time,  it  offers  infants  a  tight  swaddled,  deep  pressure  input, 

providing security and assurance to infants with sensory integration dysfunction and other devel-

opmental disorders such as Autism and Cerebral Palsy. Studies have also shown that infants with 

hypotonia (low muscle tone) are adversely affected by baby carriers that place their legs in exces-

sive abduction (legs spread too far apart). With the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier, there is a position 

where babies can still face forward and see the world while having their legs in a more develop-

mentally appropriate posture.  The Baby K'tan Baby Carrier was developed by two couples trying 

to find the best babywearing solution for their children with special needs.

How do I wash and dry my Baby K’tan Baby Carrier?

The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is both machine washable and dryer safe. Please follow these simple 

washing  instructions:  Machine  wash  cold,  wash  with  like  colors  only.  Use  only  non-chlorine 

bleach when needed. Tumble dry low. Make sure to wash separately before first use. 

Will my Baby K’tan Baby Carrier shrink after washing?

The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is made of 100% cotton knit (and the Baby K’tan Breeze Carrier is 50% 

cotton, 50% mesh). Accordingly, the carrier may shrink slightly after washing. However,  you will 

also find that the cross stretch of the cotton fabric enables our carrier to stretch with use. If your 

carrier feels a bit snug after washing, you can simply stretch it a bit to “wear it in.”
