About Baby K’tan

The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier (http://www.babyktan.com/whatisktan.html) was developed by two Florida families, each raising a child with special needs. One family has a child with Down syndrome and the other has a child who required heart surgery when he was four weeks old. The parents were inspired to create Baby K’tan when they could not find an existing baby carrier that suited their babies’ needs. The Baby K'tan team proudly devotes a percentage of its proceeds to the American Heart Association and the National Down Syndrome Society. The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier and accessories are available online and in retail locations across the US and internationally.
