The Baby K'tan® Baby Carrier (patent pending) is a uniquely designed soft cotton carrier. It can be worn in all the same positions as a wrap, without the hassle of wrapping! The K'tan is made of two loops of cotton which are connected by a third smaller loop called the Back Support Band. This ergonomic and stylish design allows the carrier to be worn in multiple positions, all without any complicated wrapping or buckling. It is a cross between a sling and a structured front baby carrier, offering the positions and benefits of both! The double sling design rests on both shoulders, distributing the baby's weight and allowing multiple wearing positions for babies up to 35 pounds!  Baby K'tan is easy to put on and remove.  No wrapping required!  The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is sized to fit the adult who will be carrying the child. Age or weight of child is not a factor in sizing.

The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is made of 100% cotton. The carriers are meant to fit snugly to allow for stretching. Accordingly, if the carrier feels a bit snug the first time you put it on, this does not necessarily mean it is too small. After fully placing your baby in the carrier and spreading open the fabric, your Baby K'tan should fit you more comfortably.

SIZING TIPS

Each person is shaped differently, and like clothing, some people may fit into more than one size or fall in-between sizes on the above sizing chart. The following additional sizing tips should be used as a guide to assist you in ordering the optimal size.

• If you fall in-between sizes on the above sizing chart, CHOOSE SMALLER SIZE.


• If you are petite - 5’2" or under - CHOOSE SMALLER SIZE.


• If you are pregnant, use pre-pregnancy size to determine appropriate carrier size. Carrier size generally corresponds to pre-pregnancy fitted (tight) t-shirt size.


• Only go up in size selection if you are 6 feet or taller.


• When trying on the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier (without your child inside), the lowest point of the carrier should fall just below your chest and above your navel. When wearing your child in the carrier, the lowest point of the carrier may fall at your navel or waist, but should not fall below your hips.


• When carrying your child in the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier: if the lowest point of the carrier falls at or below your hips, choose a smaller size; if the lowest point of the carrier falls at your chest, choose a larger size.


• When carrying your child in the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier, if the carrier feels too loose (i.e., child feels insecure, legs are bumping child’s body as you walk, or carrier easily slips off your shoulder), choose a smaller size.


• The size of the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is not based upon your child’s age or weight. The cross-stretch of the cotton knit fabric and the different carrying positions enables the carrier to grow with your child. Accordingly, you should not require a larger size as your child grows and develops from a baby to a toddler (up to 35 lbs).

The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is made entirely of 100% natural cotton knit fabric. The Carrier should fit snugly and securely on you and your child. For optimal fit, wash and tumble dry - this enables the carrier to conform more snugly to your body. If you are new to baby wearing, you may think the Carrier is too small, however, a snug fit is optimal for securely carrying your child and for good back support. The cotton knit fabric enables the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier to stretch slightly to conform to you and your child.
