It was easy, stretchy, cozy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-sling-vs-baby-ktan#post-2835243 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 15:32:26 +0000 Silva 2835243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: I got a soft floppy wool one from a buy/sell/trade group on Facebook. I also ordered a sturdier linen/cotton one from there for toddler ages- the linen one is a Sakura bloom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-sling-vs-baby-ktan#post-2835238 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 14:53:29 +0000 crazydoglady 2835238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: @Silva: Any recommendations?

I use them more than anything, even up until toddler age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-sling-vs-baby-ktan#post-2835132 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 15:27:04 +0000 Silva 2835132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated my k'tan and never used it. I LOVE ring slings. They are very comfortable in newborn days and as they get older they are the best thing for quick up and downs. I still put my 2 year old, almost 30lb son in ours for quick ups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-sling-vs-baby-ktan#post-2835119 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 14:12:12 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2835119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my k'tan and still wear E in it at 8.5 months for short things or when she needs to be snuggled and love the lilliebaby for longer or more structured needs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-sling-vs-baby-ktan#post-2835113 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 14:00:37 +0000 josina 2835113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a K'tan and bought it used just in case I wouldn't like it... loved it and used it often. Super easy to use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-sling-vs-baby-ktan#post-2835108 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 13:51:09 +0000 Boopers 2835108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a K’Tan with LO1 and honestly didn’t like it at all. I ended up selling it before LO2 was born.</p> <p>With LO2 I used both a wrap (Happy Baby wrap, like a Solly wrap) and a ring sling. For me the wrap was the easiest. I was really intimidated by it before I had him, but I felt it was the easiest one to do by myself and get a nice, secure hold. Now that he too big for the wrap, I exclusively use my Ergo. I still have the sling, but I haven’t used it in months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-sling-vs-baby-ktan#post-2835107 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 13:43:47 +0000 MamaBear87 2835107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Find a used one of each. You likely can get both for under 100 and then you can just decide which you like better once baby is here ☺ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-sling-vs-baby-ktan#post-2835103 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 13:27:38 +0000 crazydoglady 2835103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had to pick one....I have a Lilliebaby that I am very excited to use for outdoors and once DD is bigger (she's still cooking :silly: ), but I would love something that I could just wear around the house and for early days. I am NOT a wrapping kind of mama, so I would prefer a ring sling or K'tan. Which would you recommend? </p>
