Baby K'tan Organic Baby Carrier, Pure Honey, X-Large

 (9 customer reviews)

I absolutely adored the Baby K'Tan while my son was small. I could carry him around hands-free and he was snug, often just sleeping while I puttered or while we were out and about. I'm so sad that now that he is bigger, I find that my back is starting to hurt when he is in the front-carry positions, and I really just think it's that he is so heavy - 17 pounds at almost 4 months. Now I find that I'm going to my Mei Tai style carrier BabyHawk Mei Tai Organic Baby Carrier Eyes of the World on Avocado Straps and Dainty Baby Reusable Bag Bundle

I have not yet tried the rear carry positions with him, I'm waiting for him to get a little bigger, so I'm hoping to get more use yet.

All in all good product. Purchased for 6.5 lb newborn who was sliding down in other carriers. Now as he is getting bigger it is really nice to have weight distributed on both shoulders. You don't have to fold it or put it on perfectly for it to be usable which is nice. It seems to stretch out after a few wears and become too big but it is minor because you can machine wash and tumble dry to shrink it back up. So far have only used it with the cradle and kangaroo positions. I prefer my hotsling for short trips but this is but better if baby is going to be inside it for any real length of time.
