Special K’Tan

Organic Baby K’Tan Baby Carriers

On the outside, the original Baby K’Tan baby carrier appeared to have it all: an easy-to-use, ergonomic design and a double-strap construction that made it the best of both slings and carriers.

Yet something invisible lurked within its fibers. Something missing that shouldn’t have been.

Now, Baby K’Tan has come clean. The new 100 percent organic cotton carrier is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard, so you know it’s manufactured with the environment in mind. It comes in adult sizes XS-XL (big daddies, that’s for you) and can tote everyone from preemies to 42-pounders with ease.

It’s everything the original Baby K’Tan was loved for. And less.
