Can the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier be used for babies and toddlers with special needs?
Yes, it can. It is well known that children with developmental delays and special needs benefit from the extra stimulation of being carried close to the wearer, especially during the infant stage. The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier creates the ideal environment for development and growth. At the same time, it offers infants a tight swaddled, deep pressure input, providing security and assurance to infants with sensory integration dysfunction and other developmental disorders such as Autism and Cerebral Palsy. Studies have also shown the infants with hypotonia ( low muscle tone) are adversely affected by baby carriers that place their legs in excessive abduction (legs spread too far apart). With the Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier, we have created a position where babies can still face forward and see the world while having their legs in a more developmentally appropriate posture. The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier has been endorsed by several medical professionals.
