  I love the moby but hate how long and hot it is so I bought a baby k'tan size med, but it was way too snug. I exchanged it for a large and it is so loose it feels unsafe. I am very frustrated. I just want a simple carrier I can use.

  I feel the same way. I like the Moby but it is cumbersome. So far only used it at home, feel like it would take to long to put on if we were out

  The Happy Baby Wrap is a much lighter fabric, but it's just as long as the Moby. I like it a lot better than my Moby though, because I get hot easily. You may however like a soft structure carrier better. I also have a Boba Carrier that works for newborns (comes with an insert) and it's super easy to take on and off.

  I have the k'tan wrap and I really like it. It does say when you first get it that it is supposed to be snug because over time it stretches out. Was it super uncomfortable or just snug?

  I have a K'Tan and can't seem to get DD in there correctly for the newborn position. I'm hoping that as she gets bigger and can use the other positions it will be more useful. I just ordered an infant insert for the Ergo - hopefully that's a bit more secure feeling.

  I have a k'tan and I love it. But I think if you're between sizes and one is too tight and the other is too loose it's probably not a good option. I have an ergo as well that I love and use it with a rolled up receiving blanket at the bottom (instead of buying the newborn insert). I like that DH can use this one as well since its adjustable.
