Baby K’tan – baby carrier

| 186 Comments

With so many fantastic options for baby carriers out there; it’s hard to weed out what will work for you and your baby. Do you prefer to carry on the hip? Are you more of a front wearing type of Mom? Or are you a mom of twins and just not sure what to do? So many choices!

The Baby K’tan carrier ($57.75) is the all-in-one soft carrier you have been looking for. With over 8 stylish and comfortable positions, (cradle, explore, one-hip, two-hip, hug, adventure, back and twin), this carrier is like getting multiple slings for the price of one. -a most economical choice in my own personal opinion!

What I love about the Baby K’tan is that it requires no wrapping and no hardware. It’s simple yet stylish double sling design is created to be a grab and go carrier for busy parents on the run.

Here are some Simple facts:

  • adjustable back support band
  • rest comfortably on both shoulders
  • over 8 positions, great for preemies to preschool (42 lbs)
  • easy to use, comes with instructional video
  • organic & 100% natural soft cotton
  • double-sling provides extra security for baby & privacy while nursing

  1. My favorite feature is that it carries up to 42lbs. I have big babies to start with so getting extra milage out of it would be great. I’d really love to win this!

  2. My favorite is that you can adjust it to wear different ways and for small or big babies!! I’ve always wanted one of these!

  3. Over 8 positions is a great feature!! I hope I win!!

  4. I love that you can wear it so many different ways.

    amberekirk@yahoo.com

  5. I love the variety of ways it can be worn. With Baby 3# on the way, I could sure use one of these!

  6. The fact that it carries twins is amazing, most other carriers do not!

  7. I love that you get double the support from the dual shoulder support as opposed to the traditional one shoulder sling,you can hold your baby close to your heart with reassurance that he or she is dually supported.Just the sling I have been looking for.

  8. i like how you can carry twins. i have them.

  9. I love that you can use it for an infant and toddler…and for twins. You never know! Wouldn’t that be a hoot! I would love to win the basic black. Thanks!

  10. I think it’s great that they thought of a way to make a carrier for twins that isn’t so bulky! I wish I had known when my twins were smaller! It would be great for a singleton too I’m sure!

  11. I love that it can rest of both shoulders! This would be great, especially since we find out what we are having on Dec 22nd!

  12. I love that it’s good for Birth to 42 Lbs!!

    andraya3 at yahoo dot com

  13. I love that it carries up to 42 lbs…. and that it’s organic cotton!

    tamara at schrojo dot ca

  14. I like that it rests on both shoulders…and a feature not mentioned, but that seems great to me, is that it looks nice and trim. The Sleepy Wrap is great, but it’s awfully bulky and heavy.

  15. i love that it has adjustable back support!!

    yellowsugarcane@hotmail.com

  16. love that i can be used until the child reaches 42 lbs

  17. Oooo…I like that it comes with a hat too!

  19. I like that you can adjust it to wear different ways and for small or big babies.

  20. I think the fact that it is “dad friendly” is great. My husband tends to get flustered very easily and if he can get this on and off without looking foolish he will definitely be more inclined to use it. Having him carry the baby in a sling/wrap would be awesome!

  21. I like this is dad friendly mrs.mommyyatgmaildotcom

  22. I love the fact that it goes up to 42Lbs.

    stacie_vaughan@hotmail.com

  23. I love that it goes up to 42 pounds and is so adjustable. It looks like a great carrier.

  24. I just love the fact that you can carry twins in the Baby K’tan! How awesome is that?!

    Thanks

    nancyrobster@gmail.com

  25. The TWINS aspect of it is my favorite feature! Especially since I have niece/nephew twins on the way and am trying to help my sister find a carrier. :) *jackpot*

    mjbc07 at yahoo

  26. I love that the weight goes up to 42 lbs AND I love the “no complicated wrapping”! I have a SleepyWrap (which I adore!!) but my hubby still doesn’t “get it” to use it. I can totally see him using the Baby K’tan!!

  27. I like that there is not just one way it can be used but several (8) different configurations!

  28. I like that fact that there are no long piece of material to wrestle with.

  29. This seems so easy to use…especially at the grocery store. I always had a difficult time using other carriers.

  30. I like it because you can carry two babies.

  31. my favorite thing is that it conforms to the baby’s body, she the baby is comfortable.

  32. Wow, I love that it goes up to 42lbs, and that you can carry twins in it!

  33. I like the fact that it is like a sling, yet is over both shoulders to distribute the weight. The “explore” position looks perfect for my 5 month old!
    ponycargt[at]yahoo[dot]com

  34. I love that its organic and also that it has over 8 positions to carry baby.And will fit mom or dad.
    Thanks n Happy Holidays!

  35. I love the fact that there is no ring. My ring sling is awesome, but sometimes I wish I didn’t have to adjust it that way. Thanks!

  36. I really like the 8 stylish and comfortable positions, (cradle, explore, one-hip, two-hip, hug, adventure, back and twin). It’s nice that it can be adjusted in so many ways.

  37. MFJ:
    The feature that i think is great is the Adjustable Back Support.

    watson(at)zerostreet(dot)net

  38. I like that its easy to put on, because I always get tangled up in slings. I also love how attractive they are!

  39. Wow! I can’t believe it goes up to 42 lbs!!!!

  40. I like that it rests on both your shoulders and the fact that you can use it for a big baby or a little baby. =)

    mommainflipflops AT gmail.com

  41. I like the fact that you can use it with twins. My sister is having twins so this would be great. Thanks for the giveaway.

  42. Two things I really enjoy is that it goes up to 42 pounds, my son is almost 30 and he’s only 9 months old! (Big Dad lol) But the best thing is that it’s got the Adjustable Back Support, I was in a car accident a few years back and my backs been really messed up, every carry I use hurts and this would be great to try!

  43. This looks so much more comfy than other brands out there – I love that you can switch it around to different positions, an especially great feature when you’re on long walks or when Dad needs to take over and prefers to carry baby differently than you. Thanks for the offer!

  44. I like that it offers lots of different ways to wear it.

  45. I love how when your kid grows you can still use it!

  46. I like how it can be used up to ana amazing 42lbs and is ergonomically designed

  47. I like how it can be used up to ana amazing 42lbs and is ergonomically designed

  48. I like how it can be used up to ana amazing 42lbs and is ergonomically designed

  49. I would LOVE this for the baby girl that I’m due to have any day now. I especially like that it has over 8 carrying positions and can be used all the way up to 42 lbs, that would definitely get some use!

    Thanks!
    xpsundell(at)gmail(dot)com

  50. i would love a ktan, its one of the carriers I’ve been lusting after for a while. The feature that i like best about the ktan is that i could breastfeed in it. I have a front carrier now that doesn’t work for nursing my baby girl.
    Thanks

  51. It looks so comfortable and this would be a great gift for my daughter who is getting ready to have her baby. Thanks

  52. I have had a hard time finding a nice looking carrier that I could carry my 25 lbs 9 month old in. I love that this holds up to 42 lbs!!! I also really like that it has adjustable back straps and you can carry more than one baby!

    THANK YOU!
    newmommyin08@yahoo.com

  55. No complicated wrapping (I have trouble just trying to tie a scarf–no, seriously!!) LOL!

    Thanks for a great giveaway.

    tskrush (at) cox (dot) net

  56. I think my favorite feature is that it’s 100% cotton. My oldest son has lots of allergies and when he was a baby, I was always searching for cotton everything, and it’s not that simple to find! I also love the variety of ways to use it! I’d love to bond with my little baby 3 who is on the way!
    beckodleay@yahoo.com

    megpyper@gmail.com

  65. the weight limit. I think its really cool that it will hold up to 42 lbs. not sure if i could or would want to carry my baby that big but its neat the option is there

  66. i love that you can carry twins in it!

    autumn398 (at) yahoo.com

  67. sizing is based on parent, not on child! That’s neat!

  68. I like that it has added security and back support as compared to the traditional sling, and added comfort and ease of use as compared to the traditional front carrier.

  69. i love how there are so many ways of wearing the carrier.

    plur268 at yahoo dot com

  70. love that it “Rests on Both Shoulders” which is awesome. thanks! yyeres at gmail dot com

  74. I like that it keeps baby close

  75. This looks comfy, soft and super functional. I like the adjustable back strap b/c that’s often the part that is most uncomfortable.
    thanks, and Merry Christmas.
    katelynthames AT yahoo DOT com

  76. I love that it rests on BOTH shoulders to save the wearer aches from unequal weight distribution.

    These carriers look wonderful!

    leftymylou at gmail dot com

  77. I love the fact that it is easy to use and has adjustable back support.

    monicaalbers@yahoo.com

  78. seems simple enough

  79. Think baby would like this one – she does not like the one I have!

    hockey1defense8@hotmail.com

  80. I really like the fact that it carries up to a 42 lb. baby, since mine is 2 and already 37 lbs. :-) And I love the multiple positions.
    m.e.leichliter at gmail.com

  81. I would love to use this carrier with my baby

  82. i think that its awesome that you can carry twins at the same time!

  83. I think it is awesome that it carries up to 42 lbs.

    emmyj1979@yahoo.com

  84. love the different carrying options. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  85. I have a wrap which I like for it’s security and that it’s adjustable, but I dislike the excess fabric, which the baby k’tan has eliminated.

  86. I don’t think I have ever seen a wrap that can carry more than 35#. That is a very cool feature!

  87. I like that it’s good for nursing and uses both shoulders for proper weight distribution. I have a ring sling and I love it, but my shoulder gets sore if he’s in it for too long.

    gitrecca at gmail dot com

  88. I love that it carries up to 42 pounds. Wow, thats a lot of poundage…

    cheekabeeka@gmail.com

  89. I have a similar one for my little one, but it’d be great to win this for my friend and her wee-one! She could really use it. Great Christmas gift! It says that this one you don’t need to wrap… now THAT would be great! I think that’s the best feature.

    goof_nugget@hotmail.com

  90. I love that it is not complicated. What a great carrier.
    angelahscalf@gmail.com

  91. I like that there are 8 different positions to use it.

    apeak AT hotmail .com

  92. I love that there isn’t any of that complicated wrapping!

  93. I have always enjoyed using a sling and I really like that this gives me the ability to breast feed and has double shoulder support without messing with those pesky rings or snaps.

    andee@alltel.blackberry.com

  94. wow, i could still use it with my 19 mo old with that weight limit!
    mom2maria at hotmail

  95. That is such a cool sling, Its different than others. My favorite thing is that its organic! I would rather not have my daughters face in some chemically treated fabric.

    mommy_debella at yahoo dot com

  96. I love the way it comfortably accomodates tots as well as babies. All my other kids grew out of their carriers by six months. This would be a great solution for my now nine month old.

    laikilu@yahoo.com

  97. I love the versatility tht allows for extended wear. I love slings but one size doesn’t necessarily work as they grow. This does! I love the fabric. Soft and comfortable for me AND my baby!

    heathermartin11@charter.net

  98. I like that it “rests comfortably on both shoulders” and has “over 8 positions from preemie to preschool (42 lbs)”! Are you kidding me? It sounds perfect.

  99. I love the fact that it is adjustable to babys size. Plus the way that it is made just seems like baby is more secure. I think that this one could really be hands free for me, as even though I know the others are safe, I constantly worry and still have to have at least one hand on baby.

  100. I love that it appears simple and not fussy. I like simple, easy to use slings!

    sherylnelken at yahoo.com

  101. I like that it goes on both shoulders. It would be perfect for our third baby girl in 3.5 years-due next month. :)

  102. I love that it carries up to 42 pounds because I could use it for my toddler as well. Thanks for the giveaway!

    rebekahdawn_ak@yahoo.com

  105. I like the idea of it resting on both shoulders… my little man is just gettign too big for any length of time using a regular sling!!

    jojo_59@hotmail.com

  106. My favorite feature is that you can use the carrier from birth to 42 pounds. What a great life span this carrier has.

  107. I like that it carries up to 42 pounds a big plus, and that it is an all in one and you can wear it many different ways.

    trastull @ yahoo . com

  108. I know several other folks have mentioned this, but the fact that it holds a child up to 42 pounds really is impressive and makes it stand out among similar products!

  109. I wish I had one of these when my g/b twins were born(02/07). I love the design and ease of the positions. I can still use this as they grow(up to 42lbs)! Thank you.
    h2ogoddess71 at msn dot com

  110. Hi, It has a ton of wonderful features…but my personal favorite is that it helps you to bond with you child! That is so important to me. I am a first time mommy and I pray that I can have a great bond with my child!

  111. i skipped these with #1 because they looked so tricky but this says it is not complicated so i would love to try with #2. charlenegale at yahoo dot com

  112. My daughter and son in law are expecting their first child. They are choosing baby furnishings and clothings in an environmentally aware manner. They would love to have the baby k’tan carrier, for all the features, but most importantly the natural cotton fabric.

  113. i love that this comes in Camo. This has to be the only baby carrier my husband would ever wear. It is great for both Moms and Dads styles!

  114. I absolutely love that it rests on both shoulders. I have one bad shoulder, so constantly having the carrier on the good one will quickly made the good one bad! So with the weight evenly distributed this will help prevent shoulder pain! Very cool!

    jebuell(at)gmail.com

  115. i like that it is made out of cotton because besides safety, comfort is so important. the carrier i have now has hard platic that often irritates my baby.

  116. I really like this fact that this sling is meant to grow with your child. This makes it a very practical and cost effective purchase for a baby that you’ll get more than a few months or a years worth of use out of.
    thanks! – Brittney – toomuchrock@gmail.com

  117. I like that is can be worn by people of different sizes. No need for more than one carrier per family.

    pinkveganmiso(at)yahoo(dot)com

  118. I love that it rests on both shoulders. I have a pouch sling and while I love the idea of it, my one shoulder would start hurting from supporting all of the baby’s weight.

  119. Birth to 42 Lbs,Free Matching Baby Hat Included. this would make a nice gift for my new grandson.
    Merry Holiday Season.

    camper223[at]live[dot]com

  120. Enter me! I need it!

  121. Warm Cocoa is my favourite! The fact that it supports higher weights is great. I’m expecting my second 10-pounder!

    jwalker8@canada.com

  122. I love that it holds up to 42 lbs. I’ve always wanted a carrier other than my sling, but have been weary because my 1 year-old isn’t getting any younger or lighter! Thank you so much for offering this giveaway. :)

  123. I love the variety of ways that it can be worn. There are times that my back hurts and this can be changed to help alleviate that.

  124. I love that it helps you be close to your child. This is especially precious to me, as I am adopting a 1 year old baby girl from China next year and this would be great for bonding with her!

  125. I like the fact that there is lots of back support and it holds baby close to your heart.
    justachatter2316@yahoo.com

  126. It’s short and easy to get on
    rosans4@comcast.net

  127. I love the adjustable back support! catss99@yahoo.com

  128. that its good for small and big babies!

  129. I like the fact that you can nurse the baby right in it and if they fall asleep you can continue doing what you need to do without disturbing them. This would be great for me since I am now having my third and I have two other children that still need me.

  130. There are over 8 positions, which makes it great for preemies to preschool age kids.

  131. I love the different ways you can wear it. That makes it extra useful!

  132. I like that the carrier gives you privacy while nursing.

  140. I like the double sling design.

    Thanks!

    traceys[at]suddenlink[dot]net

  141. I love that it’s voted the #1 dad carrier as most carriers are not suited for men to use. So that’s a big bonus.

    angieplays4fun at gmail.com

  142. I like that its supposed to be easy to use – I’ve tried like three different kinds and they are too difficult. Luckily anyway, this would be for either my sil or friend who are pregnant.

  143. Favorite part? The fact that the back support is adjustable (unlike Bjorns etc.). I had the chance to try out a friend’s and carrying her large 1-year old was a breeze bec. I could adjust so easily.. and it actually worked!

    navalev[at]gmail[dot]com

  144. Very similar to Asian type baby carriers, which work the same way. Good quality, I’m sure.

    We would love to have one!

  170. I love how it adjust & grows with your child.
    So many others are for newborns & you must buy a bigger one as your child grows.
    The Baby K'tan is adujustable so that you can use it longer!
