Most people know that I LOVE my Baby Ktan Carrier, seriously a life saver in those early stages. I do still use it periodically but since my daughter is so much older (and heavier!) I generally use a simple pouch sling to carry her.
A while back I saw an Okkatots carrier on www.babysteals.com and I think the whole design is simply genius! I will definitely be looking more into this carrier when we decide to have another baby! This carrier has got to be the MOST versatile carrier I have ever seen. A few features are:
Exclusive Features of the Okkatots Front Baby Carrier
- Fit carrier to baby rather than other way around, natural way
- Baby wears separate pouch that goes on and off as easy as a diaper, extends two ways for a custom fit,
and detaches to gently move a sleeping baby - Harness straps allow baby to lean back for parent interaction or be easily removed when asleep
- Optional- use OkkaBand waistband for parents distributes weight evenly to provide more support
and won't slide up and down your waist as you move - Holds babies from newborn up to 25 pounds
- Carrying pouch can also be used in a shopping cart seat as a child restraint;
folds into its own pocket for convenient storage
Extra Baby Carrier Features
- Carry baby two ways: facing in or facing out
- Padded shoulder straps adjust for a perfect fit (approximately 28"-66" adult chest)
- Attachment on the OkkaBand for keys and pocket for small items, such as cell phone and toys
- Soft, terrycloth bib included
- Comes in two classic colors that are suitable for either parent: black with tan
trim or tan with black trim - Chiropractor recommended
- JPMA certified
- Made of 100% "eco" cotton and machine washable

Wear facing in or out, take the baby out without waking, doubles as shopping cart harness? Seriously, I'm sold! Honestly even at $100 I'm in. This would normally be out of my price range but remember you can always stalk Babysteals and hope they have them on for a huge discount again :)
