The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is sized to fit the parent or adult who will be carrying the child. Age or weight of child is not a factor in sizing.

Many factors can affect sizing, accordingly, we have developed the following sizing chart and sizing tips to assist you in determining the correct carrier size for
you and your baby.

SIZING TIPS

The carrier size generally corresponds to your fitted (tight) t-shirt size.

Each person is shaped differently, and like clothing, some people may fit into more than one size or fall in-between sizes on the above sizing chart. The following additional sizing tips should be used as a guide to assist you in ordering the optimal size.

• If you fall in-between sizes on the above sizing chart, CHOOSE SMALLER SIZE.



• If you are petite - 5’2" or under - CHOOSE SMALLER SIZE.



• If you are pregnant, use pre-pregnancy size to determine appropriate carrier size. Carrier size generally corresponds to pre-pregnancy fitted (tight) t-shirt size.



• Only choose larger size if you are 6 feet or taller.



• When trying on the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier (without your child inside), the lowest point of the carrier should fall just below your chest and above your navel. When wearing your child in the carrier, the lowest point of the carrier may fall at your navel or waist, but should not fall below your hips.



• When carrying your child in the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier: if the lowest point of the carrier falls at or below your hips, choose a smaller size; if the lowest point of the carrier falls at your chest, choose a larger size.



• When carrying your child in the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier, if the carrier feels too loose (i.e., child feels insecure, legs are bumping child’s body as you walk, or carrier easily slips off your shoulder), choose a smaller size.



• The size of the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is not based upon your child’s age or weight. The cross-stretch of the cotton knit fabric and the eight different carrying positions enables the carrier to grow with your child. Accordingly, you should not require a larger size as your child grows and develops from a baby to a toddler (up to 42 lbs).

The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is made entirely of 100% natural cotton knit fabric. The Carrier should fit snugly and securely on you and your child. For optimal fit, wash and tumble dry - this enables the carrier to conform more snugly to your body. If you are new to baby wearing, you may think the Carrier is too small, however, a snug fit is optimal for securely carrying your child and for good back support. The cotton knit fabric enables the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier to stretch slightly to conform to you and your child.

1. The Baby K'tan™ Baby Carrier (“Baby K'tan™” or “Carrier”) is NOT a car seat or a bicycle seat. Never wear your child in the Carrier while traveling in a motorized vehicle of any type or riding a bicycle, scooter, skateboard or engaging in any similar activity. In the event of an accident or fall, your child would have no restraint and could be seriously injured or killed.

2. The Baby K'tan™ is NOT to be used for a child weighing more than 42 pounds
(up to approximately 3-4 years old).

3. Until your child has sufficient head and neck control, ONLY the "cradle" or "twin" positions may be used; Do NOT carry child in any of the other carrying positions - "explore", "adventure", "hug", "hip", "two-hip" or "back" - until your child can hold his/her head upright unassisted.

5. The "Twin" position should only be used for babies weighing up to 10 lbs each.

6. Before every use, make sure that the fabric and seams of the Baby K'tan are in good condition. If there are worn areas of fabric, rips, loose seams or other visible signs of damage or deterioration to the Carrier, DISCONTINUE use of the Carrier.

7. While wearing your child in the Baby K'tan, ALWAYS make sure that there is enough room around your child's nose and mouth to provide a clear source of air. CHECK OFTEN to ensure that the fabric does not cover your child's face, that the position of your body does not restrict your child's airflow, and that your child's chin is not pressed down into his/her chest thereby restricting airflow.

8. While wearing your child in the Baby K'tan, CHECK OFTEN to make sure that your child is not too hot, the fabric fits snugly but not too tight, and that your child is secure in the Carrier. If the Carrier does not fit snugly over you and your child or feels too tight, DISCONTINUE use of the Carrier; you may need a different size.

9. The Baby K'tan is designed for use by adults when walking or sitting only. The Carrier is NOT to be used while participating in strenuous activity and sports. NEVER lie down with your child in the Carrier.

10. If you bend or stoop down while wearing your child in the Baby K'tan, do NOT bend at the waist; ALWAYS bend at the knees and make sure your child stays secure in the Carrier.

12. When wearing your child in the Baby K'tan move carefully around doorways, sharp edges, hot objects and anything else that could potentially injure your child. Do NOT drink hot beverages or cook while wearing your child in the Carrier.

13. The Carrier should NOT be worn by persons experiencing back problems.

14. Neither Baby K'tan, LLC, nor its affiliates, distributors, wholesalers or retailers are responsible for accidents or injuries that occur from improper use of the Carrier or use that is not recommended by Baby K'tan, or as a result of any subsequent alteration or modification to the Carrier.
