Does the k'tan wrap work well with babies over three months, or is it best for younger infants?

Yes! I bought the k'tan when my daughter was 2 months old (wished I had it from the get go) and it has been the best purchase I have made for her. She is almost 7 months, close to 20 pounds, and I still use it daily. She loves being in it and it's her favorite place to sleep. It does stretch out a bit after a while, but I just throw it in with my wash and its back to fitting perfect.

It's flexible for infants to up beyond 6 months due to the various positions you can use. I live in North Dakota and it's freezing here, but I put my 6 month old 20 pound baby in the wrap and cover both of us with a big wool overcoat and wear ice cleats, and then we can go for an outdoor walk (when it's above 20 degrees)

That's a good question. I haven't used mine since October because of the cold weather. Personally i would say for younger infants because of the weight. But don't quote me.

I used mine for my 4-6mo old and let him face out. It worked well for a while but he was a big boy so he was sweaty and didn't like being confined to my chest (but that was with all wraps-k'tan, ergo, etc) after a certain amount of time. It's nice for temporary hands free moments but my back was sore after longer periods of time (but he was 15lbs at 3mo)

It worked for me & my daughter until she was about 15-ish pounds. Honestly, as much as I loved the K'tan, I love my Beco & my Ergo even more. They work until your child is like 4 years old & they are worth every penny. Hope that helps!

I'm not really sure. We used both medium and large for 5 week olds and they are now 5 months and the wraps still work. You just adjust as they grow.

I used it when my baby was three months and it was perfect. He slept like a baby! Lol!

I haven't used the jj cole or k'tan but this for newborns is amazing. Extremely comfortable and while there is a lot of fabric to wrap its super easy and gets easier with practice.

I've tried, my baby eats her fruit every day with this! It is very good! The mesh depends on the age of your baby. The two meshes work very well.Sorry for my English. Greetings.

I used it when my child was 5-6 months old. He didn't fit perfectly but I got the belt as tight as it would go. then put blankets on either side of him to keep him sitting straight. He loved it. He's almost 3 and still loves riding in it.

3 months would be the absolute youngest.....6 months better to start to hold. Great product.

I'm pretty sure it's ok for 8 week infant. Although, I exchanged this for Babybjorn Miracle, which I liked mush more, it's not as bulky as Comfort one

My son is 2 months old and successfully nurses while in our Ergo. The shoulder straps loosen quite a bit so that your baby can sit lower in order to reach the breast. You can buy sling type carriers that put the baby in a more natural position for nursing but I always found that I still had to hold baby up to the breast because I couldn't get the carrier to adjust perfectly. In the Ergo my son can nurse completely hands free. I have heard that the Moby wraps are good for nursing in but I've never had one. I love my Ergo. It's by far the most comfortable carrier I have ever owned and it can hold up to 35 lbs so we will get a few years out it. My son is 2 months old and successfully nurses while in our Ergo.

Absolutely. I've used it for my son since he was 6 months, he's almost 11 months now. It took a couple baths for him to get used to it, since it's not supportive like the infant tub, but by the third bath he was adjusted and has loved it ever since. just be careful if your little guy likes to sit in the sides and bounce like mine does, I've had to patch it a couple times already, but I have a bit of a wild child.

I used the Jolly Jumper Arctic with the Britax B-Agile car seat. It was fine for the first few months (my son was 3 months old when we first used it - a lifesaver), but by the time he was around 6 months, he was getting a little big to get in and out of the little opening without the cover popping off. By that time, I just put him into the seat and reinserted the cover. I recommend this cover over the JJCole (which I also owned, that went under and over him). I liked that this completely sealed him in the cold outdoors. With the JJ Cole, his head is exposed to the cold and the straps on the car seat got snug because of the blanket underneath him.

My three month old likes it a lot, but the packaging says to take the top off at 5 months so they don't get tangled. You can keep the base with the light and music on after that.

I started to use this for my daughter when she was 6 months. She is now almost two and still uses it at night.

I have a 4 month old who is 25 inches long and almost 18 lbs and this still fits him. I don't use it though because the inside batwings just get in the way and he can manuever out of the wrap. We had to use one with velcro on it instead. This is a nice one though because as she gets bigger you'll just have less of the material to wrap around her.

Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns. It lays pretty flat on the floor so if you put your 9 month old baby in it they'll just sit in it like you put them on a bean bag... But can easily roll over. We gave ours away by 6 months as we didn't use it for the baby...My 3year old loved it and pretended she was a turtle :) watch out for the seams though- I returned mine and the second one also split (and little styrofoam beads spilled everywhere) so I sewed the second one. I don't really recommend these seats period. Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns.

I used it for my son starting at 4 months. I feel it is safe for newborns since it has mesh sides. I love it I could see my little guy sleep without getting up out of bed.

Yes! We bought this when we had a newborn and an 8 month old. We could bathe the 8 mo then flip it over for the baby! I have really enjoyed it! Very soft and safe!
