Baby Products Reviews of Baby Ktan Baby Carrier, Warm Cocoa, Small
Customer Review: Good carrier, versatile
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this product in a shop in the town where I live but they only carried black. Unwilling to wrap my newborn in such a dour colour I searched Amazon for a brown one. I like the colour and the appearance of the KTan. It is a very sturdy product. I like that it is hands-free (and very firmly so)--as you have two straps (one over each shoulder, and each one cocooning the baby) there is little feeling of having to hold the baby with one hand. I have managed to get quite a bit done with the sling on. I also traveled by plane within the baby's first month and it was a breeze. As it has no metal whatnots I did not need to take it off when going through security (and have to wake the baby up in the process). That was a blessing! And also, I could nurse her completely discretely and no one was the wiser.
It is much larger and bulkier than I had originally thought, though. It seemed to be smaller than other carriers and so would fit easier into a diaper bag. But such is not the case. It actually has a lot of material and occupies quite a bit of room. I also find the material slightly on the warm side. My baby was born in May and so to carry her around during the summer was an exercise in dehydration. I also feel that you have to be very adept and precise when tucking the baby in, as sometimes the head can be too far down and then the face gets more covered by material than is safe or wise. So be aware of how you insert the baby so there is no fear of suffocation.
In a summary, I like the product. It is easy to use, comfortable, well priced. I just have some of those minor reservations mentioned above.
Customer Review: Great for snuggling
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great sling so far. Especially great for holding a newborn nice and close. My son is just 3 months and loves it when I carry him around in the tummy hold. The loop that holds the two pieces of fabric can be a little difficult to reach...it is supposed to be in the middle of your back when positioned right but seems to be a little higher on me. Other than that is seems to be a great sling. I am hoping it works as well for the hip carry.Customer Review: Don't Buy

Not sure why this gets decent reviews. This product came with a manual on how to use that had like a hundred steps for different setups. Looks simple in the photo, but putting this thing on was a hassle. My baby was so crammed in this thing, that I feared for his safety. I promptly returned this carrier, right before the recalls. Buy the Baby Bjorn instead, that carrier rocks!Customer Review: Excellent Product!

Every mother (or father) should have one of these, and I've recommended it to my fellow mommies! I love that there are no buckles or extra fabric and that it can be worn a number of ways. The fabric is stretchy and comfortable, and eases back and shoulder strain - even with a very big baby! My little one loves riding around in this!Customer Review: kinda small and tight
Summary: 3 Stars
My baby's in the 90th percentile, granted, but she's only 3 months old (15 lbs) and the small carrier is a bit tight around my average frame and a little too constraining for her. So I'd recommend buying a medium if you're an average sized woman with at least an average sized baby, and shrink it if you have to.
