I absolutely love it. I couldn’t figure out a Moby wrap or a sling with my first and ended up wearing him a bulky carrier all the time. I love how easy the K’tan is to use! I easily put my 2 day old securely in the wrap on the first try. I’m about to order another so if this one gets messy I have a back up on hand. Michaela D. · babyktan.com
