I'm still pregnant and it's pretty tight now, but I have stretched it a bit, lost a bit of my giant bump and once the weight of the baby is in there hopefully it will be good. I also got the breeze model as we live in a hot climate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-994050 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 17:34:54 +0000 Smurfette 994050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is 13lbs and almost 5 months and we still use the Ktan.</p> <p>@petunia354: if it was an extra small I would buy for my friend </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-994039 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 17:30:28 +0000 petunia354 994039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is killing me.

It's a great option for the price! </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005C9ODQ6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1375827673&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=AC_SX110_SY190" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005C9ODQ6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1375827673&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=AC_SX110_SY190</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-994018 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 17:19:58 +0000 Navy_Mommy 994018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you sew? Have you considered sewing your own ring sling?? I have instructions on my blog, it really isn't hard!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993996 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 17:11:57 +0000 aprk 993996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Weagle: you won't be able to use the k'tan for much longer. Ring slings or mei tais would be cooler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993943 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 16:42:49 +0000 Silva 993943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there is an affordable mei tai wrap by infantino through amazon. We a have a mei tai and its cooler than our other carriers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993928 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 16:32:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 993928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a ktan breeze which might be cooler. I haven't used any of them yet so that's all I can offer but its worth checking into. Alsoiveoccassonally seen it on nbd in limited sizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993835 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 15:52:57 +0000 Boheme 993835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Probably a medium? And around the $60 range or less. I could maybe do $75 if I really liked it. My baby carrier obsession is starting to wear on DH :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993834 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 15:52:54 +0000 Weagle 993834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it would benefit you to get a Ktan at this point. If I were you, I would get something that will grow with LO. Probably a RS or mei tai. FWIW, I love my linen SBP sling, but I LOVE my WCRS. It's so comfy with my 15 month old, and I know it will be great with a tiny baby too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993805 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 15:43:48 +0000 immabeetoo 993805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: it took some looking to find it! What size were you thinking on the sling? I can keep my eyes open! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993731 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 15:16:59 +0000 Boheme 993731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: That's what I'm thinking. I am searching high and low for a used SBP on the swap pages! I'm jealy of yours :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993726 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 15:15:29 +0000 immabeetoo 993726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I would guess that right now you need a medium. BUt, I don't think it'd be any cooler than the Moby - it is essentially the same thing, just prewrapped (you'd probably be cooler since it's less fabric around you). Maybe a linen or lightweight fabric ring sling? THat's what we've been using since it's been hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993695 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 15:08:08 +0000 sarahbee 993695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am currently your weight and was/hope to again be your pre-preg weight and I got a medium. Works fine now and as I get smaller, LO gets bigger so hopefully it will continue to work fine. </p> <p>BTW I think the K'tan is hot, but I don't have a Moby to compare it to so it very well could be less hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993681 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 15:01:07 +0000 bunnylove08 993681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get the size you are now (based on the sizing chart) because if you get the smaller size your LO will be too tight and it will be uncomfortable. Since its made of cotton you can throw it in the dryer if the k'tan gets too big and it will shrink </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993673 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 14:59:30 +0000 mrbee 993673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: not sure how accurate it is, but they have a sizing chart on their site!</p> <p><a href="http://site.babyktan.com/m/sizing-info.php" rel="nofollow">http://site.babyktan.com/m/sizing-info.php</a></p> <p>Ps just posting this to bump the thread, now that we just fixed it so that people can comment on it… </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-sizing-question#post-993294 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 13:18:15 +0000 Boheme 993294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am interested in buying a k'Tan on the HB classifieds, but I'm not sure which size. I guess i should throw my size out there...Pre-baby I wore a size 4 or so...Post-baby I'm guessing I'm a 10? 12? I have no idea. I am 5'6 and weighed 125 then... I weigh 158 now, but I'm losing steadily. I can't find one locally to try on.</p> <p>Sorry for all my baby-wearing madness and questions on here. DS is a really gassy, refluxy baby and he has decided the Moby is too hot for him! </p>
