**Question:** Which baby carrier is good for hot weather?

**Short answer:** Baby K'tan Pre-Wrapped Carrier has the best record for hot weather: 18 of 29 reviewers said it stayed reasonably cool or breathable. Infantino Flip 4-in-1 Carrier has the highest share at 9 of 13 but fewer reviewers weighed in, and Moby Wrap has the weakest record here at 7 of 30. Parents tend to mention heat when it bothers them, so every share here runs low and each carrier is a maybe in a heatwave.

**What stands out:** Heat is the common complaint: 60% of Moby Wrap reviews, 28% of Baby K'tan Pre-Wrapped Carrier reviews and 18% of Infantino Flip 4-in-1 Carrier reviews say it was too hot. Moby Wrap also draws complaints about putting it on, at 40%.
