Frequently Asked Questions
What is a baby carrier wrap?
A baby carrier wrap, also known as a baby carrier sling, is an item that parents can simply slip on like a t-shirt to carry newborns through to toddlers in a variety of different ergonomic positions. Its double-loop hands-free design helps distribute weight evenly across your shoulders and back to ensure a comfortable carry and will help keep your little one close.
The Baby K'tan baby carriers come in several different designs, colours and sizes. They all feature padded back and shoulder straps that have been designed to be contoured for optimum support. The Baby K'tan offers ultimate comfort as there are no buckles, rings, snaps or zippers that will press into your skin and sensitive areas such as your neck, underarms or lower back. Plus, it's machine washable and its lightweight airflow design makes it great for warm weather and exercise.

What size Baby K’tan carrier wrap should I buy?
The Baby K'tan carrier wrap is offered in xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, and x-large sizes. What sized baby carrier sling you should wear should be based on your pre-pregnancy fitted dress size (or jacket size for men). When choosing a carrier size to wear, keep in mind that it will stretch slightly to conform to your body shape and may feel tighter after washing. If you're deciding between two sizes or are unsure which to order, we recommend selecting the smaller size. Be sure to view our Baby K'tan 'Size Chart' too!
What differentiates the Baby K’tan carrier wrap from a standard baby carrier?
Traditional baby wraps are made of one long piece of fabric, generally around 0.5m long, which you wrap around yourself and tie to carry. A traditional baby wrap does allow you to carry your baby in various positions, but it requires some wrapping and tying which can take more time than the easy slip-on style of the Baby K'tan. Baby K’tan baby slings don't require any wrapping - simply carry your baby by slipping it on like a t-shirt! It consists of a patented double-loop design - two loops that are connected by a third smaller loop. This innovative design allows you to wear the Baby K’tan in a natural position without any wrapping, while still providing all of the benefits, various positions and support!
How do the Baby K’tan Original, Baby K’tan Breeze, Baby K’tan Active and Baby K’tan Organic carrier wraps differ?
Baby K'tan Original & Baby K'tan Print
The Baby K’tan Original and Baby K’tan Print baby carriers are made of 100% jersey-knit cotton with a unique one-way stretch. This all-natural cotton fabric offers a soft cozy carrier for parents, newborn babies or toddlers.
Baby K'tan Breeze
The Baby K’tan Breeze is made of 100.0% cotton - with jersey-knit cotton on one-half of the loops and a unique cotton mesh on the other half of the loops. It has been designed to be easy on your back and its cotton-mesh construction enables free airflow. The Baby K’tan Breeze is a great option for people who want a more breathable carrier with a natural fabric.
Baby K'tan Active
The Baby K’tan Active is made of a 100.0% polyester high-tech performance fabric to create a breathable yet supportive baby carrier experience. It features Dri-fit® Performance Fabric which wicks away moisture from your skin and provides additional airflow for comfort. This makes the Baby K’tan Active ideal for simply slipping on like a t-shirt when exercising or in hot conditions.
Baby K'tan Organic
The Baby K’tan Organic baby carrier is made of 100.0% GOTS-certified organic cotton with a unique one-way stretch. This environmentally-friendly carrier is made of a soft natural fabric that will give you and your little one a warm and cozy hold.
How long should it take to learn to use my Baby K’tan?
It may take some practice before getting comfortable using the Baby K'tan. But don't worry, most parents say it only takes about three tries before they get the hang of it. If you're unsure, view our Baby K'tan 'Carrier Instructions' for more support.
Will the Baby K’tan carrier wrap be safe for my newborn?
Yes! Babywearing is the safest way for babies to be carried from birth because it keeps them feeling safe and secure and helps them bond with their parents. Newborns require constant supervision due to their vulnerability at this age, which is why babywearing can be beneficial in providing safety and security by keeping your little one close when travelling. To ensure a safe, comfortable and cozy babywearing experience, be sure to read all warnings, instructions and baby carrier safety tips before carrying your baby in the Baby K'tan.
Will the Baby K’tan baby carrier be comfortable for my back?
The patented double-loop design of the Baby K'tan evenly distributes your baby's weight to your shoulders and back, while the waistline band helps adjust and centre the loops across your body. The wide fabric can be spread over your shoulder for comfort during long trips, as well as adding an extra layer of padding.
Are baby slings good for my baby?
Absolutely! Infants are born with fragile, easily over-stimulated nervous systems. When carried in baby slings, baby wraps, and baby carriers during their early months of life, infants experience the stimulating sounds, sights and smells that their parents experience while also being securely swaddled for safety. Baby carriers offer a gentle way of transitioning baby's from the calm environment of the womb to the busy outside world.
Is the Baby K’tan suitable for a toddler?
The Baby K'tan baby carrier is suitable for newborns up to children either two years old or less than 15.8kg in weight. Since the Baby K'tan fabric is so stretchy, it provides plenty of room for your baby from birth into toddlerhood.
How do I wash and dry my Baby K’tan baby sling?
Our Baby K’tan baby carriers are made of soft fabrics (no buckles or snaps), machine washable, and dryer safe. Machine cold wash (30°C) your Baby K'tan with similar colours only. Non-chlorine bleach when needed. Tumble dry low. Wash separately before first use. *For carriers with Spandex, hang dry and do not iron.
Will the Baby K’tan baby carrier shrink after washing?
The Baby K’tan baby carrier is designed to stretch with use and tighten up in the wash. Accordingly, the carrier may feel a bit snug after washing; however, the cross stretch of the fabric enables the K’tan to stretch back out.
What kind of clothes can I wear with my baby carrier?
With the Baby K'tan baby carrier, you can wear anything from jeans to dresses. However, we recommend wearing something close-fitting so the fabric does not slip off or bunch up under the baby carrier waistband.
What’s included in the Baby K’tan product box?
Inside the Baby K'tan box, you will find a baby carrier complete with two metal rings, one on each end. We also include a matching sash, product instructions and a positioning guide to help make your babywearing experience easier!
