Baby K'Tan

Anyone tried this carrier? Likes? Dislikes?

I just picked one up because I found it on sale. Planning on using it today for the first time. I'm hoping I can get DD2 into a back carry by myself - it's still too hard to do it in my wrap.

I haven't used a baby K'tan, but I know people do like it as an alternative to a Moby, a little easier to use. I wouldn't use one for a back carry, though, as I think it would be too stretchy to get it secure. Generally stretchy wraps (the jersey material like a Moby or Sleepy wrap) are not safe for back carries. I could be wrong though, as I said, I haven't used a Baby K'tan before.

I used it in both a side and a front carry while shopping today. I'm used to my GypsyMama wrap, so it was a different kind of carrier and a different kind of fabric. It was easy to get into and much quicker than the wrap. It was looser though, which is why I didn't try the back carry. I'm glad I got it at a discount - I don't think I would pay full price for it, but it's nice to have for popping her in quickly.
