Baby K'Tan Review and Giveaway! {New Year, New Babies, New Mommies of 2!}


I purchased the Baby K’Tan baby carrier when Noah was just an infant. It was my first experience baby wearing. I knew absolutely nothing about it but knew I needed to get some things done and Noah wanted nothing more than to be held all the time!  The Baby K’tan carrier is like a wrap but without all the wrapping. It’s like a ready-to-wear wrap, which was perfect for me because I was clueless when it came to baby wearing.

Baby K’Tan was started by two couples, the Chesals and the Wernicks,  who were close friends and each has a child with special needs as well as two other children. Not finding the specific type carrier or sling they wanted to use to carry their babies, they began to create different designs to meet their needs. Once they created something that was easy to use, stylish, and comfortable, Baby K’Tan was born!

The Baby K’Tan can be used with babies 8-35lbs. It is a unique double loop system that requires no wrapping and can be worn in a number of different positions. It’s machine washable and dryer safe. It makes it possible to breastfeed discreetly while wearing your baby and can help calm fussy babies and still allow mommy to get things done! Check out some other great features of the K’Tan and compare it to other popular carriers  in this Comparison Chart!

Like I said earlier, I got this with Noah and didn’t really know anything about baby wearing but needed something so I could get stuff done without constantly having to hold Noah. The Baby K’Tan was super easy to use and figure out. After watching the instructional videos I was able to easily get Noah in the carrier and wear him around the house! Noah was about 2 months old when I started wearing him and didn’t care much for being  worn like I had hoped so I didn’t wear him as much as I would have liked. With Isaac I started wearing him right from the beginning and he seems to enjoy it very much! I wear him all over the place!

I first wore Isaac in the Baby K’Tan when he was 3 days old.  I wore him to his first checkup and it was great! I love that the K’tan is so easy to use and get baby in. It’s simple to just slip on and put baby in even from the car! I love that he was so close to me and I could even cover him slightly so he wasn’t exposed to all the germs out there. I love that I can nurse him while he’s in the Baby K’Tan and can even do it discreetly! The Baby K’Tan makes it easy for me to wear my baby wherever I need to go! I can slip it on for a trip to the grocery store, or wear him around the house when he’s being fussy and I need to get stuff done!

How easy it is to put on!

Quantmlife said...

It's one of the few wraps/carriers I've seen that can be personalized.

Lynnipoo said...

I absolutely love that you don't have to do all the wrapping and that it comes in a breathable material--perfect for Texas summers!

Victoria said...

I love how you don't need two people to get the baby into it and all the different ways you can wrap the baby up.

Mama Lake said...

LOVE wrap carriers... they are SO comfy!

Ashley said...

I love the different size options. I know I won't use a wrap as my child gets bigger because I'm so petite so having the option of a smaller size means less overall bulk!

i love that it is easy and i wouldnt have to figure out all the wrapping because thats confusing

krystina said...

i think i like the no wrapping part. I have a Moby and a Mei Tei (sp??), but I hate the long tailes. I bought an Ergo for that reason, but I still have tails from the straps.

Felicity said...

Easy way to use a wrap!

Fiddlin' Dandi said...

I like that there is no wrapping involved--it's all ready to go!

I love that the different positions look easy...I love my Ergo, but would like to use the side/hip position, and it is too awkward for me with the Ergo. This looks like a great option!!

Desiree Steele said...

It looks so soft and easy to use! I used a carrier with my first (hated it) and a sling with my second (liked it, but had to wait until he was older) this just looks so wonderful to use with them when they are new which is what I wanted to do all along...

cutewatergirl said...

I have wanted one of these for so long. Dd loves to be held and worn, but the carriers I currently own are not good for longer stretches. Would love to win this one

I love that it's so super easy and I can do almost anything with my little one in tow!

Amelia said...

I saw a friend use one and I fell in love with how much more easy and convient it looks rather than a long wrap which I currently use. I love snuggling my little one!

Lovetheearth88 said...

My favorite thing about the Baby K'Tan is that you get virtually all the same carries as a traditional wrap without having to wrap. That makes SUCH a difference when you're not home and don't want to drag ends on the ground. Definitely a step up from the Moby!

Katie said...

I love that it doesn't have the extra fabric that the Moby does.

Miranda W. said...

I like that there are MULTIPLE wearing positions to suite each baby/mom preference!

Christina N. Newman said...

I love that it does not have buckles or snaps! cngordon22@yahoo.com

Carolyn said...

The sash can be used as a storage bag!

Christine L. said...

I learned that the wide fabric distributes weight on the shoulders and back.

I love that they allow for and include instructions for the Adventure hold! Trying to figure out how to carry a baby that way on your own without "crotch-dangling" is challenging!

I like that you don't have to wrap it.

Hannah said...

I like that it has the double shoulder strap and that you can throw it into the washing machine.

Katrina said...

I LOVE that you don't have to do all of the wrapping. Using the moby drove me crazy with my newborn. I'm 5'0" and I usually needed someone to help me wrap it because it was so long!

Machine washable and dryable. My other wrap says to hang dry -- there's so much fabric that it's hard to find a place to hang it and it takes forever!
