Baby K'tan - good option?

I have a Moby from when DD was born....used it a few times at home and am fairly confident I can get it tight enough. DS is arriving in October and planning to wear him more when we are out and about. Would a Bbay K'tan be a good option - seems like it would be easier to put on and less bulky to wear (I'm 5'2"). I know it's less adjustable because you choose a size, so I'm wondering if that will mean that it would be a bit harder to fit baby right. Any experience? TIA!

    I made a K'tan myself.  I made it about a month ago and it still fits DD, but I am wondering how long that will last.  That's why I didn't want to pay for a "real" one.  I have a Moby too.

    I love my K'tan, DH got his own, and I've given four as gifts and they're all in love with it.

    I'm 5'4" and was 150 prebaby and wore a medium.  DH ordered a large, and that actually worked better as Nat got bigger.  I never got the hang of a wrap, and I didn't feel secure with a sling, so when a friend recommended the K'tan, I went for it, and I'm so glad I did.

    Just a hint, a breeze doesn't have as much give as a regular.  So if you're between sizes and want to order smaller, go with the regular and it'll stretch out.

    Thanks! I'm 5'2" and 150 prebaby....so it seems like I should go with a medium to start. I'm thinking I will switch to using an Ergo or Beco once baby gets bigger. I guess I'm seeing myself using the Moby or K'tan while he is little, maybe a month or three. And sounds like I should go with the regular fabric style. Thanks again!

    LOVE my k'tan. does the same stuff as the moby without the ridiculous amount of fabric and wrapping. totally worth it imo. a snug fit is importnant, so follow their sizing guide and their tips. i was between the s and xs, so they said to size down and i got an xs. it fits great. a bit snug the first time you put it on, but stretches when you use it, so snug is good.

    Love my K'tan- so much so that I haven't even yet tried the Moby I received as a gift.. DD is 3 months.
