I've been using my K'tan everyday at home for my now 6 weeks old. It's not so warm, easy to use and dries fast after washing. I did read about the short lifespan, that it may be less supportive when baby is past 6-8kg. But I think the $40+ that i paid for the preloved K'tan has been well spent! I use it for several hours everyday! It's tricky to get the correct size though. I think the sizing chart tends to be an over estimation, which would lead to baby being too low. Generally me and my other mummy friends wear XS or S.
Agree that Ergo 360 won't be suitable. It would be warm for baby with the infant insert.
