Baby K'tan and/or Moby?

VitaLuna · April 2013

I have found so much useful information here (I never knew of anything but an Ergo!), and I'm hoping you ladies can help me with a question

I was planning on getting a Moby wrap for the infant stage, then getting a Boba 3g. I've recently looked into the baby k'tan, and think I like that better than the moby. Here's my question: can I easily use the k'tan from infant age, or do I still need the moby? Would you recommend one over the other? Or would you forgo the wrap style and go straight for the Boba 3g even with an infant?

TIA!

I couldn't get DS situated right in the k'tan when he was really little. Don't know if it was a fit issue or I just wasn't smart enough to figure it out, but I couldn't put him in it (to where I felt he was secure and safe) until he was 4 or 5 months

I'm nervous about slings.. I feel like I'll do it wrong or somehow mess it up. Is this what most would recommend for an infant? I'm willing to give it a shot if it's better than the wraps. Any specific brand rec?

For newborn my ring sling was best. I had a Maya wrap and used it from the first week. Instructions were very easy to follow. Moby I could wear longer and wrap different ways, but I rarely use it outside the house bc it takes room and time to put on. I li

definitely k'tan over the moby. they are basically the same thing - same positions, weight limits... - but the k'tan is way easier to use because you don't have to wrap it. i love my k'tan and used it with both my lo's from birth. when baby is bigger, i a
