I have been wanting to get a Baby K’
Since my first child I have used a ring sling pretty much on a daily basis. I LOVE wearing my babies and the bonding and befits we both get from it. (You can check out the fabulous on the Baby K’tan website.) So wearing a ring sling is great except…if I wear my baby in a ring sling for more than a half an hour my back starts to hurt. I have loved that the Baby K’tan spreads the weight of my baby across my entire back instead of one shoulder. It really allows me to wear my baby for a longer period of time. Don’t get me wrong–if I wear my baby for 6 hours straight my back will probably hurt no matter what carrier I have on, but the K’tan allows me to wear my baby while grocery shopping for over an hour without feeling the effects on my back like I did with my ring sling.
The breeze is supposed to be the lighter version of the original Baby K’tan. I have not had the chance to test out the original K’tan yet, but I do like that I can use the breeze with the lighter mesh material around the baby when it is hot outside to allow for more airflow, and then I can turn the fabric around to the cotton side when the weather cools down to keep baby warm.
There is no wrapping or tying involved so my carrier is ready to go when I need it. It does take some time to get used to putting on and adjusting, but it is not hard, especially if you have done some baby wearing before. There are multiple ways to use the carrier with . I have really only used the Kangaroo position since D is only two months old, but I am looking forward to trying out the other positions as she gets bigger.
I also really like that there are no metal rings for my baby to hit her head on or any buckles to worry about. I have bonked my babies many times on the rings that hold my sling together and it always makes me feel horrible, but that is not a problem with the Baby K’tan.
This carrier does fit tight and it is supposed to. You need to order the correct size for the person that will be wearing the baby in the Baby K’tan. There is no one size fits all like with a ring sling, but I think that is a small drawback for the benefits of this carrier. The Baby K’tan does come with a sash to tie around you and the baby for certain positions. Be sure to read your instruction booklet or the online instructions when you are learning the different positions so that you are carrying your baby safely. Always double check before letting go of your baby that they are securely held by the Baby K’tan and safe.

I love having my little one close to me!
I love the bond it gives baby & me 🙂
I love to wear my baby because I could keep her close, plus I could hug and kiss her everytime.
It makes it so much easier to get things done and you’ve got her close all the time so it’s easy to sneak a kiss.
I love wearing my baby because I love that is comforting and soothing to them, it allows me to be close to them, AND I can have my hands free to do what I need to do 🙂
It’s a security thing for mom and baby!
I love to be close to my baby to form a special bon with my child, to calm him and soothe my baby when its needed
I’ve not had my baby yet but I so badly want to wear my baby! I think the bond of closeness and the convenience are the things I look forward to. 🙂
I love wearing my daughter so I can be hands free but still be able to hold her!
to be hands free

I feel it’s better for the baby – more soothing and it allows me to move around and be more productive.
it creates a great bond and you keep your little one closer
It keeps my little man close to my heart.
I love to wear my baby because it is a great way to bond and it helps me get stuff done like grocery shopping and cleaning!
It’s easy to walk around the house and pick things up/do little things while baby is sleeping
Bonding!
It’s great for going on walks/to the park.
It’s great to be close, and is quick and easy for getting out of the house.
i especially love it for situations where strollers would just be a bother! I use mine for hiking, at a carnival, etc.
It’s hands free! And the snuggling is so nice 🙂
It’s so nice to be able to take care of my toddler and still get newborn snuggles.
I love holding my newborn close. Babywearing helps keep me happy and keeps my milk supply up.
I used a K’tan with my daughter when she was wee little. I loved the ease of it and she always felt so safe and secure and comfortable so she always fell right to sleep in it

I love that I can still be close to my baby while having free hands to help my older kids.
Looks so easy to use! love wearing baby!
because he would like it so much more than the stroller
I have two boys already, so wearing my third baby (due next month!) will be the only way I can go out in public! 🙂
i like ot baby wear bc it leaves my hands free to do things around the house or run errands
babywearing rocks for me because my daughter enjoys the closeness and having me right there makes her feel safe. plus,i love the baby snuggles!
It’s so much easier to get things done around the house when I’m wearing my baby
Ive never used a carrier like this but my daughters would like it. I love that its hands free and stylish.
I haven’t tried the k’tan but babywearing is amazing for closeness and also free hands!
Baby close and hands free
I love the closeness and being able to wear him while I am doing the things that need to be done (:
Sometimes you can’t being stroller places and this is so convenient
I love to wear her to keep her close and breastfeed easily.
For the bonding experience and having free hands.
I love the bonding with baby-wearing!
Its a great bonding experience
I like it because its makes unique bonding
I think it’s a lot less hassle than a big stroller.
Superb blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for
a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally
confused .. Any recommendations? Cheers!
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I
had to tell someone!
Your style is very unique compared to other people I have read stuff from.
I appreciate you for posting when you’ve got the opportunity,
Guess I’ll just book mark this site.
Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with
Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success.
If you know of any please share. Thank you!
