what parents are saying
Worked great and was cool enough in the summer-at least part of the summer in the south. Definitely cooler than other wraps (moby, mei tei). Sizing can be tricky. (Feb 03, 2018)

Perfect for newborn babies. Soft, flexible, and easy to put on. There was barely any learning curve and was very easy to figure out when I just needed to run to the store with the baby. Oct 06, 2023

This was the first carrier I tried and I loved it so much I bought a second one! Perfect for a teeny tiny that likes to be swaddled and snuggled, easyish to get into and keeps you cool! Must have! Jul 23, 2021

Love that this material is a lot more breathable. Super easy to figure out, super quick to get baby in and out! follow the sizing recs on the website. It's supposed to be tight, but will stretch Jun 26, 2021

This was much better than the original k'tan because my baby runs hot - however, now that he's bigger, I don't use it anymore. It doesn't have the lower back support to carry him for very long. Feb 16, 2021

This carrier is super easy to put on and comfortable for me an my baby.The breathable material helps reduce over heating and sweat. I wish I had this with my 1st child. Great for newborns and infant. Nov 18, 2020

It fits my newborn snugly and supports him wonderfully. I was able to use this for a fairly long time with my daughter as she grew older as well. I love that it's not a material that holds onto heat. Jun 13, 2020

Love to use this bc it’s definitely cooler (I live in Florida) and easy to put on(no wrapping needed!) Perfect for walking around in the store when I have to push a shopping cart at the same time. Jan 15, 2020

I had regular k’tan but bought this for my second baby born in summer. It was breathable and a little water didn’t hurt it. We used for about three months before my daughter’s weight got uncomfortable Jan 01, 2020

The mesh is wonderful for outdoors and the beach, but it left marks on baby’s legs when I used the active ktan for over an hour. I prefer the original cotton fabric, even when it’s hot. Sep 19, 2019

The best baby carrier. WAY easier than any of those complicated wraps, much better than the Ergo Baby. Highly recommend and liked that this one was breathable for summer weather. Jul 31, 2019

I tried other wraps and was always frustrated by how long it took to put on. Not to mention doing it in public was a pain, this one gets the job done I seconds! Love wearing my baby with ease! Apr 07, 2019

Love that this is lightweight and breathable. It has the look of a wrap but is much easier to use. You do have to buy it for your specific body size so you may not be able to share with your partner. Mar 25, 2019

It’s okay, I had my son in the summer so I wanted something breathable. I had a hard time getting the straps right and not twisted. Would use for spring/fall, too hot for 100+ degree weather. Jan 07, 2019

So soft & breathable w/put tons of fabric that you have to figure out how to wrap! Love it for carrying my newborn! Feels so natural for them - similar to in-utero! Great for skin 2 skin. Nov 24, 2018
Baby loved this for the first 3 months, but I think that now the same snugness that he loved before, he really hates. Oct 30, 2018

This is the best carrier for a newborn summer baby. Lightweight and easier to put on than a wrap. I use this all the time - easy to wear and wash. Wish they had more color choices. Sep 23, 2018

Don't use it nearly as often as I thought it would. I like how its easy to wear and no confusing knots to tie. Sep 20, 2018

Takes Some practice but once you get it it’s easy to get on and get baby in. Love it to help me carry baby on my hip. He loves facing out too. Fabric is nice. Used it in 105 degrees w/o overheating. Aug 05, 2018

Like the ktan for a diaper bag wrap-easier to wrap than a standard wrap and great for on the go. Material seems breathable as well. Jun 16, 2018

So easy and quick to use even more so than the structured carriers. At 8 months I am still enjoying this and very breathable in south heat. May 26, 2018
- Tierney T.

Easy to put on and comfy enough to cuddle on the couch. Baby loves it, even after 13 months. It is washable and fits in the diaper bag. The active material glides over clothes easier than the original Apr 27, 2018

I liked this when baby was little. Good as a hip carrier/sling now that she's older, but she doesn't like it as a front carrier since it's more restrictive than a structured carrier. Very easy to use. Feb 05, 2018

I love the K'tans. The only thing I didn't like about this is that it's bigger than my normal K'tan so the baby doesn't sit as high up. I should have gotten a smaller size but we still make it work Aug 07, 2017

I was in between sizes so could never get it to fit perfectly and I still found it hot. The few times I did use it, it left marks on my son's legs and he was never really happy in it. Mar 31, 2020

Love it! Great for those who lives in the south. I had to return to original since the fabric was too thick. Jan 15, 2020

Best K’tan in the whole line. I’ve tried the breeze, and the fabric was still too hot (even in winter). This is breathable and comfortable. Easy to use and stays secure. Way better than full-on wraps! May 07, 2019

I have this as well as the regular baby k'tan. This one is more breathable for outdoor summer usage. I feel it is larger than the regular, and the material causes it to slip down a bit during wear. But I love the ease of this product as well as the breatheability of the material. Jul 26, 2017
