My LO is 3 weeks old weighing 3.7kg. I am looking for affordable carrier that can be used from 1st month to at least 1 years old. Dont really like infant insert as my LO perspire a lot. Kindly recommend any carrier that is suitable for newborns without infant insert if possible. I am actually incline to buy ergo baby 360 cool air mesh carrier but my LO is 3.7kg and according to ergobaby website, they require LO to be at least 4 months old in order to remove the infant insert. Heard KTan carrier is good for newborn but not much reviews.

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.
