I would say probably 6 months or so. He loves being worn and I loved this carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1518961 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 06:44:27 +0000 Ash 1518961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not long... Maybe 3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1518036 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 15:30:09 +0000 catlady 1518036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I basically stopped once my maternity leave ended. So around 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517973 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 15:11:43 +0000 sunny 1517973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I used the Ktan until she was around 6 months. At that point, we starting using the Ergo more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517897 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 14:50:46 +0000 Madison43 1517897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MCD919: we have the ergo too and i find it to be a lot easier BUT it still hurts my back. Everyone raves about through, so I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517889 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 14:48:45 +0000 Madison43 1517889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used it in phases - when she was new, she liked to sleep in kangaroo position. She grew out of that pretty quickly and for a while, didn't like the ktan at all. Now that she's a bit older and stronger, she likes the hug position (I think that's what it's called). I still only use it around the house for short periods of time though, bc as others have mentioned, it's not super supportive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517881 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 14:45:45 +0000 MCD919 1517881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: Is that because the structured carriers are better for our backs? I've heard lots of good things about the ergo. That's probably what we'll get next, but I'm going to try it on before getting another carrier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517870 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 14:40:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 1517870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got the hang of the ktan, but I used the moby up until about 4 months. We started usin the beco around that time wcause it was just a little easier to put on and off, but we could have used the moby a little longer. C is 50thpercentile for weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517836 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 14:31:20 +0000 Mommy Finger 1517836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think only a few months. I only wore him during some naps. I was never really a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517513 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 13:02:47 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1517513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two months. DD was too heavy for it by eight weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517510 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 13:01:49 +0000 JessKas 1517510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only used it for the three months. Now I exclusively use the ergo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517507 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 13:00:43 +0000 heartonastring 1517507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stretchy wraps aren't ideal past 15lbs. Once your LO gets to that size I'd recommend an SSC (ergo, Beco, Tula etc.) or a woven wrap :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517500 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 12:59:29 +0000 bushelandapeck 1517500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably close to a year? DS loved to be worn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517495 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 12:57:28 +0000 Smurfette 1517495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7-8 months and then she wouldn't tolerate being worn any longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-the-ktan-1#post-1517482 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 12:53:29 +0000 MCD919 1517482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used the ktan since LO was a week old and we love it!! Those who used it, how long were you able to wear LO in it? My little guy is 9 weeks and fairly small at 11lbs... Wondering when he'll outgrow it... </p>
