Me haba costado encontrar un producto que pudiera usar de inmediato de forma fcil y se ajustara para mi beb pequeo, con ayuda de este producto lo pude cargar, es muy fcil de usar.
Solo que se acalora un poco cuando hace calor.
Here’s why:
1- I found the Solly wrap much easier to use. Despite not needing to wrap the K’tan Breeze, it was harder to get baby in and out than it was with the Solly.
2- Baby feels much more secure in the Solly wrap than the K’tan. The K’tan would either be too tight after I washed it or too stretched out. And no matter how tight it was, baby would jiggle around in the K’tan and I’d have to at least support his head, making it not truly hands-free (which is why I wanted a wrap).
3- the material of the K’tan Breeze did not feel that breezy. We live in a climate with very long, dry, and hot summers, and baby and I would get much hotter and sweatier in the K’tan than we would in the Solly. The material of the Solly wrap is much more breathable. The material of my husband’s original is only doable during the cooler months or in our air conditioned house.
4- the material of the K’tan Breeze is rough and stiff compared to the Solly wrap. The K’tan Breeze material reminds me of an old thick T-shirt. The original K’tan material is softer and stretchier but still not as soft and stretchy as the Solly wrap.
5- If someone else wants to wear the baby to give you a break, you’re limited to friends and family who are the same size as you. The Solly wrap will fit anyone, and is just as easy to learn how to put on as the K’tan.
6- I’ll combine these last few because they aren’t huge deals. The K’tan is a little bulkier and not as easy to stuff in a bag as the Solly wrap. It’s also 2 pieces while the Solly wrap is one. Lastly, I prefer the color options of the Solly wrap over the K’tan.
In sum, the K’tan had the potential to be more convenient by not needing to be wrapped, but I didn’t find that to be the case. Hope that helps!
This baby carrier is fantastic, very easy to wear. My daughter is extremely comfortable in it. I strongly recommend it!
At first I thought if was too snug but that’s the way it’s supposed to be. My baby loves it and I do too!
Great product! Easy to put on and off after a few practices and that’s exactly what I needed. The baby is so close to you, so you can eat or do light house chores like doing dishes or laundry while you wear your baby securely. My baby tends to become hot, so BREEZE was probably a the right choice. And most importantly, my baby likes this a lot! I was able to calm her down only by holding her walking around (after feeding and diaper change and stuffs), and it was killing my arm and back, but now this K’Tan can do the job. The only problem is she’s too comfortable in this and sleeps too long which messes up her night time sleeping. That, I can control by just taking her out of K’Tan. This is life saver and I wish I would have got this sooner. I’ll get this for every baby shower from now on!
Easy to use carrier, takes little space in your bag and you can just put your baby in and out without complicated twists and turns, i unfortunately lost it 🙁 so I had to get an emergency wrap and after using it two times i decided to order another K’ta
life changing. keeps baby close but gives me my arms back. super easy to use…much better than the other wraps with yards and yards of fabric!
comfortable and versatile. I found it to be most helpful when baby is very young.
I love this soft carrier. It’s fast to put on and my little one enjoys it. So much easier than the fabric wraps like the Moby, which I also bought. I would say it runs a bit small or maybe I just don’t like how tight it is but I hope to use it for a while. I bought an xs and I’m typically a size xs in tops.
Love this! The Moby wrap was just way too much fabric. I love how you can choose the size of this and it fits so well. Glad I got the Breeze too for the summer time. The fabric is light but still sturdy.
Original post:
My little guy went through a phase early on where he wanted to only sleep on me and hated the car seat. He seemed a little small for the Ergo baby, which frankly hurt my c section scar. The k’tan was a lifesaver. I could never figure out those baby wraps or slings, and this guy takes all the guess work out of the operation. The Breeze was also nice and cool for our trip down to Florida last spring. For kids that like to be held close, this item is a must. It’s cool enough for daily use and super easy.
Pro tip: it will stretch out, but I would just throw it into the wash and then the dryer on low setting and it would go right back into place.
I must say that I rarely use it now that our baby is five months old. I’ve effectively switched to the Ergo, as it’s better for long-haul hiking and has a sun shade.
UPDATED REVIEW:
I still love the K’tan. It has been by far the easiest baby wrap I’ve ever used.
Pros:
– baby closeness: I think wraps and slings are the best way to keep a newborn close and cuddly, but I could never figure them out. The K’tan takes all of the guesswork out of it.
– ease of use: If the Moby makes you break out in a sweat just looking at it, but you still want to wrap your baby, this is the thing for you! If I could do it, so could you.
– material: I love how breathable the material is. I could choose between the mesh side on a warmer day, or use the solid cloth on a cooler day.
– Color: The gray is very neutral and doesn’t show spit-up stains.
– Safety: I felt like my son was very secure in this wrap.
– Great for naps on the go: My little one as a newborn did not take reliable naps on his own, but would sleep like a champ wrapped up in this on the go (and sometimes even if I sat down)
Cons:
– one size does not fit all, unfortunately. But that’s the tradeoff you have to make for the ease of use of this carrier.
– Time of use: I will say that by the time my son was really able to go forward-facing in the Ergo360, we preferred the more structured carrier with ergonomic support. I’m quite small and not the strongest, so additional support felt better as my baby grew. That being said, it was a lifesaver for months!!
Runs big. I’m 5’7″ 125 lb and had to send the small back for the XS. Works well. When it stretches, just put it in the washer & dryer, and it’ll shrink back up. Very easy to put on. Works well. Calms my baby. Run errands with free hands.
Great carrier! Easy to use and works like a charm!
Absolutely love it!!
Absolutely love this carrier. Instantly calms baby, gives you two free hands, and easily fits in diaper bag.
My son has severe reflux, and on bad days, this is the only way to soothe him. He loves being upright and close to me, and I love that I can get some things done. Really easy to use, and I love that you wear it like a shirt rather than wrap the entire thing… gives me peace of mind.
I received my Baby K’tan breeze carrier only yesterday and I am so in love with it. By far this is the best baby carrier I have owned and tried being this is my second baby. I first used the Beco carrier and Moby wrap. The Moby wrap was definitely hard to use as the material is just so long and took forever to wrap even with many practice runs. I loved the Beco carrier but it’s geared for older babies. Recently I had purchased a ring sling and was not too impressed. My baby didn’t feel too secure. I also have an Ergo carrier, but the straps seem to bug me for now.
Fast forward to the K’tan carrier… our first try and my baby (6.5 weeks old) fell right to sleep in the hug position. I am carrying her as I type this review. 🙂
For sizing: I read all the reviews and was reluctant to purchase XS as many said it was too snug. I am 5’1″ 129 lbs (119 pre-pregnancy). I am glad I stuck to the manufacturer’s guide and ordered XS, as I am still losing the pregnancy weight. My baby is almost 11 lbs! The material is stretchy, light-weight and color (charcoal grey) is just what I was looking for. My baby feels super secure and happy in our new carrier. I wished I ordered sooner! A must for all the mommies and their little ones.
Happy baby= Happy Mommy
1. It’s cool to wear, even in the heat (you do not need to wear the extra wrap in the normal position). I’ve included an image of a different color because it’s hard to see the mesh fabric in the pictures of the gray one.
2. It goes on quickly and baby is positioned easily (no complicated wrapping or buckles)
3. Super-easy for nursing access
4. So little bulk – easily fits into diaper bag and the washer. You can even wear it as a scarf!
5. Really well-designed to distribute weight – the baby instantly settles down and my daughter’s back doesn’t ache.
6. Easy to use – didn’t have to watch all those you-tube videos
Now, when baby gets bigger, I can see some issues:
1. Doesn’t seem like it would provide as much support for an older baby
2. Doesn’t have any low-back support, so may be a strain
3. Can’t be worn by dad — too small
Overall, I think this carrier is ideal for a young baby, but I’d consider it a temporary favorite.
I love how simple this wrap is. There’s not 6feet of material to mess with and have dragging on the ground. No knots to tie.
I have purchased and returned a few slings and I finally found one that’s a keeper. I really can’t say enough good things about this sling!
Love this carrier! So easy to get baby in and out of and super comfortable.
