ABOUT MAYA WRAP PRODUCTS
The Sling, Padded Sling, Maya Tie and the Pouch are made of beautiful
hand-woven Guatemalan fabrics,
woven specifically for our carriers.
[Look at this Rebozo photo gallery including indigenous babywearing]
Maya Wrap popularized the
'unpadded' baby sling. Our shoulder design, fabrics,
and instructional
DVD have made wearing your baby comfortable and chic! Baby
Slings and
Carriers from Maya Wrap keep you in direct contact with your baby.
The
continuous interaction & bonding with your baby will help your baby:
~ Cry less and be more content.
~ Spend more time in a state of quiet alertness -- the optimal state for learning.
~ Be more alert to his / her surroundings. For
additional information and resources
on babywearing, go to these sources: AskDrSears What Is Babywearing

About
our Dyes
No thread is guaranteed colorfast. Your Maya
Wrap has been pre-washed so the
color should not bleed, however, we recommend
that you test your Maya Wrap
before you first use it by pressing a moist white
cloth or cotton ball against it.
This is especially true if you have ordered
fabrics 22, 44, or 63.
We have a certificate from our manufacturer stating
that the dyes used to make
Maya Wrap Baby Carriers do not contain any copper,
nickel, lead, mercury, cobalt,
cadmium, aluminum, arsenic, chromium or
any other poisonous substance. |
| |
About
our Fabrics
Maya Wrap Baby Carriers are sewn
from 100% cotton, hand loomed fabric.
Fabric 15 and 59 are similar in color.
Fabric 15 is a solid, that is woven with all
threads that are the same color
blue. Fabric 59 is like a Chambray fabric, with
blue threads one way (warp),
and white threads the other way (weft).
Fabrics 27 and 28 are woven
from color grown cotton. Color-grown cotton is
more expensive
than dyed cotton, so products made from it are higher priced. |

The
rebozo is all-purpose shawl traditionally worn by women and
girls in Latin
American cultures. Maya wraps are used to carry
children from infancy
through toddlerhood and also serve as
rebozos for use in Labor. Traditional
direct entry midwives in Mexico have used the rebozo
for hundreds of years
to help expectant mothers relax, as well as
to provide physical support,
and to assist the baby in turning
into an optimal position for labor
and birth.
The Spanish term for the technique the midwife uses is "manteada".
When
purchasing a Maya Wrap for use as a rebozo and infant carrier,
purchase
the large size. [extra large can be special ordered]

The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is a unique, innovative (patent pending) and stylish carrier that is a
cross between a sling and a more structured front baby carrier. It provides the positions and benefits
of both. There is no other carrier available like it.
Parents or caregivers can comfortably carry infants and toddlers (from birth to 3+ years old in 8
different positions, (normally three different carries are needed to encompass these 8 positions).
The Baby K'tan has added security and back support as compared to the traditional sling, and
added comfort and ease of use as compared to the traditional front carrier. Our unique design offers
the wearer a 100% cotton carrier with NO buckles, snaps, rings or hardware, that otherwise make baby
wearing complicated and uncomfortable. Our patent pending lumbar support band offers the wearer extra
back support and makes it easy to adjust baby or toddler’s weight distribution on both shoulders.
The Baby K’tan’s unique two loop design holds babies more securely and is extremely easy to use -
NO WRAPPING INVOLVED! It is easy to put on and take off.
The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is extremely easy to use, and allows you to comfortably and stylishly
carry your baby or toddler (up to 40lbs!) in five different positions. The carrier is available in various
colors and prints - including tie-dye-and even includes a matching baby hat and sash!

support band. Simply place the two loops over your head and around your neck like a

|
The Baby K'tan™ Baby Carrier is sized to fit the parent or adult who will be
carrying the child. Age or weight of child is not a factor in sizing.
Many factors can affect sizing, accordingly, we have developed the following sizing chart
and sizing tips to assist you in determining the correct carrier size for you and your baby.
|
| Carrier Size |
XS |
S |
M |
L |
XL |
| Women Top Size |
0 - 4 |
6 - 8 |
10 - 12 |
14 - 16 |
18 - 22 |
| Men Suit Jacket Size |
|
up to 38" |
39" - 42" |
43" - 46" |
47" - 50" |
|
Women: Carrier size generally corresponds to fitted t-shirt size.
Men: Chest measurement generally corresponds to suit jacket size.
If in between sizes, choose a smaller size.
Material 100% cotton; for true size
wash & tumble dry before first use.
Baby K’tan Baby Carriers are cut slightly larger to allow for shrinkage.
Note: Larger sizes up to 3XL are available upon special request
(please allow additional time for order).
Additional Sizing Tips and Information:
|
The carrier size generally corresponds to your fitted (tight) t-shirt size.
Each person is shaped differently, and like clothing, some people may fit into more than one size
or fall in-between sizes on the above sizing chart. The following additional sizing tips should be
used as a guide to assist you in ordering the optimal size.
- If you fall in-between sizes on the above sizing chart, CHOOSE SMALLER SIZE.
- If you are petite – 5’4” or under – CHOOSE SMALLER SIZE.
- If you are pregnant, use pre-pregnancy top size to determine appropriate carrier size.
Carrier size generally corresponds to pre-pregnancy fitted (tight) t-shirt size.
- Only choose larger size if you are 6 feet or taller.
- When trying on the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier (without your child inside), the lowest point
of the carrier should fall just below your chest and above your navel. When wearing your
child in the carrier, the lowest point of the carrier may fall at your navel or waist, but should
not fall below your hips.
- When carrying your child in the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier: if the lowest point of the carrier
falls at
or below your hips, choose a smaller size; if the lowest point of the carrier falls at
your chest, choose a larger size.
- When carrying your child in the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier, if the carrier feels too loose
(i.e., child feels insecure, legs are bumping child's body as you walk, or carrier easily slips off
your shoulder), choose a smaller size.
- The size of the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is not based upon your child’s age or weight. The
cross-stretch of the cotton knit fabric and the eight different carrying positions enables the
carrier to grow with your child. Accordingly, you should not require a larger size as your child
grows and develops from a baby to a toddler (up to 42 lbs).
|
The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is made entirely of 100% natural cotton knit fabric.
The Carrier should fit snugly and securely on you and your child.
For optimal fit, wash and tumble dry – this enables the carrier to conform more snugly to your
body. If you are new to baby wearing, you may think the Carrier is too small, however, a snug fit is
optimal for securely carrying your child and for good back support. The cotton knit fabric enables
the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier to stretch slightly to conform to you and your child.
It is important to us at Baby K'tan, LLC that you obtain a Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier with the optimal
fit, so that you and your baby are comfortable and secure. Therefore, if the carrier you purchased
does not fit correctly, you may exchange it for the proper size in accordance with our exchange policy.
If you require any assistance in choosing the proper size, a Baby K'tan™ customer care professional
would be happy to assist you over the phone or by email. Please call us toll free at (866) YES KTAN
(866-937-5826) or by email to info@babyktan.com
