Owners love how quick and simple the K'tan is to use and how it frees up hands for other tasks, but heat retention divides them—some find it uncomfortably warm, especially in warmer climates.

This wrap gets so hot so fast it’s ridiculous… baby an I are sweating within minutes. I like that its easy to use and comfortable for the most part. But how warm it is ruins it.. I can’t imagine trying to wear it outside especially in the summer. We have only used it around the house
