Sizing

Sizing
The Baby K'tan™ Baby Carrier is sized to fit the parent or adult who will be carrying the child. Age or weight of child is not a factor in sizing.

Many factors can affect sizing, accordingly, we have developed the following sizing chart and sizing tips to assist you in determining the correct carrier size for you and your baby.


SIZING CHART

Carrier Size XS S M L XL
Women's Top Size 0-4 6-8 10-12 14-16 18-22
Men's Jacket Size N/A up to 38 39-42 43-46 47-50









SIZING TIPS

The carrier size generally corresponds to your fitted (tight) t-shirt size.

Each person is shaped differently, and like clothing, some people may fit into more than one size or fall in-between sizes on the above sizing chart. The following additional sizing tips should be used as a guide to assist you in ordering the optimal size.

  • If you fall in-between sizes on the above sizing chart, CHOOSE SMALLER SIZE.


  • If you are petite – 5’4” or under – CHOOSE SMALLER SIZE.


  • If you are pregnant, use pre-pregnancy top size to determine appropriate carrier size. Carrier size generally corresponds to pre-pregnancy fitted (tight) t-shirt size.


  • Only choose larger size if you are 6 feet or taller.


  • When trying on the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier (without your child inside), the lowest point of the carrier should fall just below your chest and above your navel. When wearing your child in the carrier, the lowest point of the carrier may fall at your navel or waist, but should not fall below your hips.


  • When carrying your child in the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier: if the lowest point of the carrier falls at or below your hips, choose a smaller size; if the lowest point of the carrier falls at your chest, choose a larger size.


  • When carrying your child in the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier, if the carrier feels too loose (i.e., child feels insecure, legs are bumping child's body as you walk, or carrier easily slips off your shoulder), choose a smaller size.


  • The size of the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is not based upon your child’s age or weight. The cross-stretch of the cotton knit fabric and the eight different carrying positions enables the carrier to grow with your child. Accordingly, you should not require a larger size as your child grows and develops from a baby to a toddler (up to 42 lbs).

The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is made entirely of 100% natural cotton knit fabric. The Carrier should fit snugly and securely on you and your child. For optimal fit, wash and tumble dry – this enables the carrier to conform more snugly to your body. If you are new to baby wearing, you may think the Carrier is too small, however, a snug fit is optimal for securely carrying your child and for good back support. The cotton knit fabric enables the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier to stretch slightly to conform to you and your child.


Babies with Special Needs

Premature Babies and Babies with Special Needs

Premature babies and babies with special needs often enter the world with fragile, easily over-stimulated nervous systems. Parents attempt to find the proper balance – to provide their baby with the sensory nourishment he or she requires for optimal development, while simultaneously avoiding over-stimulation. Infants that are carried in our Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier experience the stimulating sounds, sights and smells that their parents experience while conducting their daily activities.

It is well known that children with developmental delays and special needs benefit from this extra stimulation, especially during the infant stage. The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier creates the ideal environment for development and growth. At the same time, it offers infants a tight, swaddled, deep pressure input, providing security and assurance to infants with Sensory Integration Dysfunction, and other developmental disorders, such as Autism and Cerebral Palsy.

Studies have also shown that infants with hypotonia (low muscle tone) are adversely affected by carriers that place their legs in excessive abduction (legs spread too far apart). With the Baby K’tan ™ Baby Carrier, we have created a position where babies can still face forward and see the world while having their legs in a more developmentally appropriate posture.
