A review from my friends whom I gifted a Konny gift card:
A couple of months ago, I saw how my wife was obsessively reading reviews about Konny carrier because she was in desperate need in finding a carrier that'd fit her better, due to her body aches and pains from breastfeeding. I didn't think much of it because I was already getting used to wearing our baby with the wrap-long-cloth kind. She never liked it because she feels on the shorter side (156 cm) and the long cloth overwhelmed her and she doesn't like how it touches the ground every time I unpack our baby.
After she received Konny, I see how she carries our baby more often and is very happy with it. We notice how fast it is now for her to get ready with Konny carrier, from when our baby starts getting fussy-tired and wants to be in our arms. Meanwhile when I use the long cloth, the baby would cry harder and harder waiting for me to wrap the cloth, and sometimes I get more nervous because I feel bad for the crying baby.
A friend wanted to give us a present for our new baby, and when we shared our enthusiasm about Konny, she decided to gifted me one because she feels it is very useful for new parents like us.
I got in touch with the customer service (hi Brenda) that's in contact with my wife. I am Spanish, my height is 175 cm with about 75 kg. Regularly I wear size M, but when I tried my wife's M, it was very tight. I was asked for my chest measurement which is 96-98 cm, with under 100 cm I was suggested a Large size. But when it got here (only took 3 days to Germany) the sash felt quite short and the baby's bum sat about 3-5 cm above my belly button. I sent photos back and was suggested a bigger size, it really seems that everyone has different builds so I would like to share this fit with my fellow fathers out there who are looking to order a Konny as well. We need to expand the sizing samples of Konny for the men :)
Nonetheless, the service was excellent and very smooth. I am very happy with this carrier, it is very easy to wash and it dries very fast overnight. I can even cook while wearing our baby! When he is asleep, I can even sit down with no restrictions to eat or work; there are no dangling things, buckles, knots, it is just a very clean and effective design.
The other day, we were walking along the river, my wife was carrying our baby but after a while, I told her I wanted to carry our baby. The exchange from one to another Konny was fast, seamless, and easy, our baby was sleeping through the transfer.
I truly recommend Konny carrier for new parents, it is a life safer for the demanding beginning of early parenthood, and for professional parents as well for sure. We also own a winter cover that we share between us, it is another versatile item that is necessary for the winter here.
PS: my wife loves using my navy sash to have a little mix-match style with her creamy gingham carrier :)
