I'm trying to find a good carrier for my soon-to-be-born twins (three days from now), and I came across this crazy contraption. It says that it works for twin babies up to 10 lbs each, so it would be useful if only for a little while. But then I watched this video of the lady putting her babies in the K'Tan, and it looks like a bunch of crap to me. I want to see her put REAL babies in there without any help...not stiff little baby dolls that someone hands to her from off-screen.
Has anybody used this thing? Is it a joke or does it really work?
Re: Is it just me, or does the Baby K'Tan for twins look like BS?
I needed help to get them both in, which defeated the purpose of having it if someone else was there to hold a screaming baby!
It was also really uncomfortable, and the babies were only about 7lb each when I tried it.
Loved it for holding one baby though.
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
we absolutely love our k'tan, though never used it for twins. but i do have a friend who used it with her twins successfully - its exactly how you would do it in a moby. but the main use for any carrier is really going to be one baby at a time.
I did it once. They were still tiny and weren't in there for long.
You probably won't be putting two babies into a carrier or sling, to be honest. They get heavy really fast. I will sometimes put one of them in the Ergo, if she is being super fussy (but that was usually only in the earlier months).
