What is the Baby K’Tan?

The Baby K’tan is two large loops of soft, stretchy fabric attached with a smaller loop, plus some carries require the included sash. When I first read that I needed to use a sash, I thought the sash was missing from my box.
Remember that the best thing about the Baby K’tan is that you don’t have to adjust it, and the worst thing about it is that you can’t adjust it. Two people of different sizes (like Joshua and me) can’t share the same carrier.
Both Solly Baby and Baby K’tan Wraps are made of soft and high-quality fabrics. While the Solly Baby Wrap can hold babies up to 25 lbs. in weight, the Baby K’tan Wrap can easily hold babies up to 35 lbs. in weight. The Solly Baby Wrap is an origami-style baby wrap, and the Baby K’tan Wrap comes with two loops of fabric stitched together.

Are baby carriers safe for hip dysplasia?

The International Hip Dysplasia Institute website says that “periodic short-term use of a baby carrier (is) unlikely to have any effect on hip development.”
Some types of baby carriers and other equipment may interfere with healthy hip positioning. Such devices include but are not limited to baby carriers, slings and wraps. These devices could inadvertently place hips in an unhealthy position, especially when used for extended periods of time.
When babies are carried, especially for prolonged periods of time, the hips should be allowed to spread apart with the thighs supported and the hips bent. Education Statement: Within the womb, a baby spends a long time tucked in the fetal position with both hips and both knees in a bent position.
The International Hip Dysplasia Institute supports proper babywearing with the hips in the M-position as a method to encourage healthy hip development. Sewell M, Eastwood DM.
