Looking forward to when I'll be able to test mine out for real. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-862433 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 09:13:22 +0000 Smurfette 862433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evenstar982: I was a 10/12 before baby and I have the medium and it fits fine. Once you wash it, it does shrink up a little, so it will feel tighter at first. You don't want it too big otherwise it won't be as secure. I love my Ktan and wouldn't have survived the first couple months without. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-862410 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:55:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 862410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evenstar982: I totally had a teddy bear in mine this weekend too! I was showing DH how it worked and needed a "body" to demonstrate!<br /> I think I'm the same size as you and I got the medium-- I had tried it on in a store with a sales person and she said the M was right for me. I agree it's hard to tell though-- especially since I have a rather large bump to contend with right now too. I figure the band that wraps around will help if it feels slightly loose, and I hear washing and drying it will tighten it up when it starts to feel a little loose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-862302 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:05:56 +0000 daniellemybelle 862302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: I registered for a L too according to their size chart, but I'm nervous as well! Super excited to try the K'tan though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-862277 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:55:03 +0000 kjpugs 862277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>THANK YOU for mentioning the breeze. I live in FL and am generally super sweaty, so I immediately switched mine over to breeze on the registry. Very smart!!!</p> <p>I'm also worried about sizing, I'm a 14 on top but 16 on bottom pre preg, so hopefully the large fits, just nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-862175 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 06:54:00 +0000 edelweiss 862175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think if you're in the range the k'tan recommends you should be good to go! i got the size recommended for me, and while i know it's good to be snug, it's almost a bit *too* snug now that LO is 5 months and about 16 lbs. so being on the smaller end of the size range that k'tan recommends might work out well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-862137 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 05:13:49 +0000 evenstar982 862137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies, hope nobody minds my resurrecting this thread but I am having a 'panic' about our k'tan... </p> <p>I got DH to pick one up for me while he was in the US a few weeks back (we live in the UK), and I got him to purchase the Medium size... without remembering that US dress sizes are different to UK sizes! </p> <p>I'm now worried that the K'tan I have, is going to be too big for me to use :-( LO isn't due until September, so the only thing I've been able to try is putting a teddy bear in it - it seems to fit 'ok' but its not all that snug, and of course the bear weighs practically nothing compared to a human infant! </p> <p>I'm a UK dress size 12/14, which I think is about a US 10/12... according to the sizing on the website I should be ok - but do other K'tan wearing bees think the medium is the 'right' size for me or have I made a mistake? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-288238 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 09:08:11 +0000 Amelieisme 288238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought one too! I have the Moby and really like carrying my LO in it, but it is so cumbersome to put on and most of the time LO is screaming while I try to get it all wrapped around me. I was curious to try the k'tan and at this price why not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-287422 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 09:23:36 +0000 runsyellowlites 287422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Penelope has always felt pretty snug in it and it still fits at 5 months. Not really sure how, but it does. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-287416 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 09:13:28 +0000 regberadaisy 287416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are your LOs really snug in the K'Tan? Are they supposed to be? I got the xs per their sizing instructions. She seemed tight in it when I used it 2 months ago. I don't see how it'll still be big enough?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-287413 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 09:09:59 +0000 runsyellowlites 287413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looooooooooooooooooooove our K'Tan! Seriously don't go anywhere without it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-287381 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 08:19:53 +0000 MamaBehr 287381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the same thing! Found it on nobetterdeal.com because of someone on here as well! My LO likes that he can look forward now, instead of only to the side in the ergo. I'm a big fan already of the k'tan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-287292 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 04:48:29 +0000 Chastenet 287292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD finally meets the weight requirement for our K'tan at 1month today :) I took her out the past two days in the K'tan and I love it! It was so nice to be able to take her in the metro and not worry about getting a stranger to help me with the stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan#post-287198 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 23:03:58 +0000 mrs. wagon 287198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finally got my Baby K'tan delivered (got a deal from nobetterdeal.com! thanks to whoever introduced it to me!) and I'm so excited. I tried it out with Lil Miss Wagon and she wasn't very happy about it, but then I tried the Ergo right afterwards (which she has loved and fallen asleep immediately in several times before) and she wasn't having that either, so she was just not in the mood to be worn. But I love how soft and compact it is. The Ergo is so tough to take with you, but the Baby K'tan all fits in the carrying case (that the sash is made out of!) and you can just throw it into the diaper bag! </p> <p>Oh, I got the Breeze version because we are quite the sweaty and warm-blooded family. </p>
