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 – 5’4” or under – CHOOSE SMALLER SIZE.
- If you are pregnant, use pre-pregnancy top 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).
