Just checking in because I'm interested too, I've heard great things about both!

I have the K'Tan as well & really like it. I've haven't quite gotten bf'ing in it easily, but I've only used it once at home & once out & about when nursing. For just wearing DD... She LOVES IT!
I considered getting a moby but they're just too much fabric for done here in south Texas.

I haven't used it yet, but I was going between both Moby and K'Tan as well. I found a Mom trying to sell both - she said she purchased both but found the K'Tan much easier to use. She said Moby was too hot and too much fabric. Her example was at the parking lot of a store, trying to not let the Moby fabric touch the ground while finagling baby into it - but, I can't speak for myself yet, as I haven't used it!

I'm 5'6.5" and about a size 8/M pre-preg, and the woman said that would work for a size S k'tan. there is sizing on their website I believe!

I have the Baby K'tan, and I really like it. It is super easy to use. As PPs have said, I don't have to worry about the long piece of fabric dragging. Last week, I went on a walk with my friend who has a Moby, and she said she struggles with putting her daughter in it, and even asked, "Does she look like she is in it correctly?" I personally though have never used a Moby, so I can't give my own feedback on it.

Now, my baby was not one to like being contained in any form whether it be a carseat or a wrap! So as a newborn, I would only use it when he was napping...boy, could he take a nice, long nap in it! I would use the hug position for that. I used it every day so I could take a stab at my to do list or go on a walk. Now that he is older (4.5 months), he loves the adventure (facing out) position and hip position so I don't have to be tied to just his naps. I should try some of the other positions.

I am 5'6" and a size 0 or 2 so I went with the XS. It is definitely snug after a wash, but after a few wears it is the correct size for us. I am a bit concerned about the summer though since I purchased a black one, and the fabric is pretty thick.

Hope this helps!

@regberadaisy: I think it's pretty breathable. I'm in south Texas where it's already in the 90s & DD sweats more in her caraway than the wrap. I'm also 5'5 and was a 7/8 pre preg & wear a small k'tan. I would probably get a xsmall with your stats... It says that if you are between sizes to go a size down.

AH! I looked for a post like this and couldn't find it; so I started a new one! Glad to see good reviews of Ktan, since I think I'm leaning that way. I can't decide between a S/XS, though; I'm 5'7"/5'8" and was a 2/4 pre-preg, and I'm always in between sizes. I don't know if the XS might be too short/tight.
