Vote for Baby K’tan!

2013 StartupNation Leading Moms in Business Competition!

We are so excited to be nominated and have Michal Chesal, President of Baby K’tan, leading the way. Michal developed the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier when her first child, Coby, was born with Down syndrome. Wanting to keep him close as much as possible while holding him in a developmentally appropriate posture, she experimented with the different slings and carriers on the market and incorporated the various aspects of each, bringing the Baby K’tan to life!

Please vote for Michal Chesal/Baby K’tan to help show your support!

Just Short of Crazy, review

Love this review by the blog, Just Short of Crazy. I mean, just look at how cozy she makes the Basic Black cotton K’tan look!!

Here is a great excerpt right out of her post:

“One thing that I really like about the carrier is that it is made of soft cotton knit fabric. It’s a really nice and comfortable fabric to be wearing. It has just the perfect amount of stretch to it. The even weight distribution over both shoulders has made wearing comfortable as well.”

Woman of Many Roles, Review

Sharing a lovely review from the blog “Woman of Many Roles.”

We loved reading this positive review about the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier and how easy to use she found it! The type of baby carrier you can put on without needing any help :) – no wrapping, tying or buckling. Easy to use and super compact. “I loved this wrap because it folds up into a pouch so it’s easy to store. I leave it in my glove box.”

The Meaning Behind Our Name

Did you ever wonder where the name “Baby K’tan” came from? “Baby” is obvious, but “K’tan,” what does that mean? Michal-Chesal-e1360612063254-150x150

We get asked all the time. People wonder whether it means wrap, sling or if it is a name or a combination of names. Well, the answer can be found here, in the CEO Blognation article, How Did You Come Up With Your Business Name?.

The word “K’tan” is actually the Hebrew word for “little.” So really, “Baby K’tan” is a simple play on words; it means “little baby”!

Here’s some text from the article:
“[We] have strong ties to Israel and we thought it would be nice to incorporate a Hebrew word into the company name. The Hebrew word “Ktan” means “little,” so Baby K’tan literally means “Little Baby.” We get asked about the name quite a bit. They questions we get are usually split into two groups, those who have no idea how to say K’tan and those who are familiar with Hebrew and want to quiz us!”

We hope you enjoyed that little bit of trivia :)

Baby Gear Lab Review

Check out this great review from BabyGearLab.com! 5 out of 5 stars is pretty good in our book :)

Here’s an excerpt:

“The Baby K’tan landed on top when it came to “wrap” style carriers for newborns and younger babies under 1 year old. It comes with the claim “A wrap without all the wrapping” and we found this to be pleasantly true. After struggling with fabric a mile long and complicated how-to videos with the Moby Wrap, the simplicity of the K’tan brought a welcome sigh of relief.”
