If you have a baby (or are expecting a baby) and have talked to me for more than five seconds, chances are you know I love the Baby K'tan carrier. They're especially great for the first few months when baby really loves that swaddled feeling. And they're on sale for the next couple of days on Zulily!

We love Baby K'tan's products because they are secure, easy to use, and comfy. We're not the only ones who love their unique products. They've been featured on The Today Show, in Redbook, and named one of Pregnancy Magazine's Best Baby Products.
