I CANNOT stop talking about how much I love this wrap.

First, I'll start with the fact that I'm roughly 165lbs and 5'5", wear a size ten pants and medium shirts. I ordered a size medium and it fits great. It'll shrink with the wash a bit, but will stretch out nicely.

I'll add that I've tried ring slings and kangaroo pouches and this still tops those for me, by a bazillion.

Description: This wrap has two parts; two "infinity scarf" like loops that are connected by a small single loop. The other part is a long piece meant to wrap around the bottom for some types of carry positions. This piece also has a convenient pouch that you can store the whole wrap in.

Why I love it:
-SO easy to use. The instructions that come with are pictures and step by step and SUPER easy to follow.
-The material is LOVELY. Soft, comfortable, and breathable. I am a sweaty momma and this thing is nice.
-After trying other pouches and having serious frustration with how difficult it was for me to figure out how to even just put babe in one of them SAFELY and COMFORTABLY, this is hands down, such a headache free option by comparison. If you're like me and don't like having to do tons of trial and error and just want something that comes out of the box ready to go, this is the wrap carrier for you.
-As someone with not the greatest back, so far this has been a comfortable carrier.
-It feels SAFE. I can honestly say it easy simple to position her safely and comfortably in this thing, and get her in and out without assistance.
Tips: Give your baby time to like this. I think with any new thing you put baby in, starting with slow and short introductions is key. My baby was not a fan at first, but has come to love it after a few wears.

Cons:
-Only I can wear this. My husband is 6'3" and 200lbs, and this would not fit him.
- There is a huge warning tag sewn into this thing, which is important, but the seams of it are scratchy and if I don't have this positioned just right it could rub up on baby girl.
-Get the sizing just right. I was lucky, I got it right the first time, but if you really aren't sure I know you can reach out to the company for assistance.

Overall I would buy this again, and I would recommend it to a friend.

I was torn on buying this wrap because I heard mixed things. However, I ended up going for it because my tiny baby needed a snug wrap. I never cared for the basic stretchy wrap because even though my little one is small, the wrap never felt as secure with my older when she was a tiny baby. I am so glad I took a chance. I LOVE this wrap. SO easy to put on because the work is done for you. However, I can understand why this could go wrong. You really do need to size down. I went with XS even though I thought it would be too small. I am sure a Small would have worked fine once I washed it because it does get super tight but the XS is perfect for my little one. I currently weight 143 (15lbs over my pre-pregnancy size. the pre-pregnancy size 128 recommended an XS while my current post-partum weight would be a size Small). I went smaller from reading the reviews and I do think you need to estimate one size down from your shirt size. That being said, my baby is really small. She is under 8 lbs and fits very snugly in this. If she were bigger, I might have needed a small but to be honest, the wrap stretches.

Also - the recommendation of 8lbs+ isn't necessarily true if your baby is tiny. You will likely be OK as long as you order the appropriate size. In fact, most of the stretchy wraps are safe for preemies and if those are safe, this would be much easier to use.

That being said, if you are planning to share the wrap with someone else -then you are better off buying a stretchy wrap. I hated my Boba wrap because I never felt I could get it tight as I feel my K'tan is. If you are good at wrapping, don't bother with this one and stick to Moby or Boba or similar because it is expensive to buy two of K'tans. If you hate wrapping and want something snug and easy, the K'tan is for you.

I originally bought the Breeze and had to return it because the mesh just wasn't stretchy enough. This one is perfect though! For size reference; I am 5'3", 120(pre-pregnancy), and 135(post-pregnancy) and a 36c bra pre-pregnancy and now a 36dd, and I ordered the x-small; my baby is 8 weeks at 12 lbs and fits well. It is a little snug (I did wash it), but baby does feel secure and Baby K'tan says it will stretch a bit over time to grow with your baby. I do prefer the all cotton one so much better! Feels softer than the mesh did. So far so good! Baby is cozy! I'll update if anything changes!!

**UPDATE** I ended up ordering a small just to see if the fit was better and I couldn't decide! I called Baby K'tan customer service and spoke with a wonderful lady named Jamie and she helped me figure out what size was the best. And X-Small it was! She asked some questions to determine correct sizing and shared a few tips on how to stretch it out a bit before I put my LO in so he wasn't smushed, and where exactly he should be sitting on my body. Fabulous customer service!! Thank you Baby K'tan!

I have the Ergobaby so I didn't think I'd need this. Buy this is good for:

1. Newborns - because it's softer and closer to your body

2. For parties - the ergobaby is too bulky for parties. The k'tan works perfectly.

3. Looking stylish - when you wear it without baby it's like a nice scarf. When you wear it w baby it looks like a shirt.

I love my k'tan. I have a Moby too but I haven't work it yet. It seems very complicated.

This is my favorite carrier and has been perfect for me and my little one. I've used Moby wrap, Ergobaby, Maya Wrap and Tula in the past. The Baby K'tan is easy to use, comfortable, and (most important for me) not bulky. I can throw it in the diaper bag or my purse and easily put it on when needed. I can wear it with a sweater or cardigan over the straps and it looks great. I wear it around the house often so that I can get stuff done, my baby has reflux and does best being held. I received the baby K'tan active carrier as a baby shower gift and just recently purchased the original carrier because I wanted the cotton material. I love them both but if I were to have only one I'd get the original. I wear the size small and I am 5'1. My baby is now 7 weeks old. She is a smaller baby, she was 6lbs 12ounces when she was born.
