Does the breeze actually breath more than the original? Is it cooler for baby? You?

I have a breeze and like it overall. PRO: It is breathable in front part (where you put baby). The back part is cotton, so it's still fairly warm on the mom's back. I got white so it would be lighter (vs. the black). CON: It looks like a middle-school athletic jersey material. It's appropriate for the beach, for walking around the block, etc. but when I have a nice outfit on (like a dress or something), I don't feel like it looks good. I'm going to be ordering a cotton one as well, just so I have another option. Another concern I have is that the mesh-like material is not at all as stretchy as the cotton, so it fits a lot snugger. My baby fit comfortably at first (born 8 lbs) but now (at 11 lbs) she definitely does not want her head inside of the carrier because she feels squished. Since she doesn't have head control yet, I end up holding her head. Still great, but I might should have tried a size SMALL instead of XS in the breeze. Also, they now make a K-tan Active that's still breathable (more than the cotton) but isn't as middle-school jersey looking. Only snag there is that it comes in blue or coral only.... not very versatile. Hope this helps.

I didn't buy the breeze so I'm not sure. I do like the original K'tan though

It has a mesh like material on 1/2 of it. I wouldn't describe it as super breathable, but it is probabl cooler than the original. If you are going to use this in hot weather or live in a warmer climate I would totally recommend the breeze version.

No. Definitely not. Not even anywhere near as cool as the old window fans that blew over water to give a bit cooler air. This was like a humidifier (not a good idea on hot days. I spent the extra money and replaced this with the portable air conditioner which is great for small apts or one room in a house.

I do notice a little change with allergies. Mine are horrible and I have a 9month old who's seemed to be bad also. We would wake up each day with stuffy noses or go to bed with sore throats. It seems a little better. I originall got the purifier because we moved into a rental where the previous debtors were smokers. PEWEY!!!! I have only run it about 4 times while I was at work. The smell is still there but not as bad. I'm going to try it in my car too. Can't wait to see how that works.

I cant really say for sure about FL heat because im in PA, but i felt it was significantly cooler than the Baby Bjorn I used when my son was first born. That thing was swampy after awhile! :)

Just air I think. I was using it at the beach the other day and it didn't feel like the air that was blowing was much cooler than what it felt like outside. Although it was not cooler it was like having a breeze, that was still really nice and did keep me cooler.

I take my 2 year old and 3 month old on walks in this stroller and neither have seemed to be too hot. As others have said, the sun shade really protects the riders from the sun and heat and the nylon fabric stays cool.

The mist is cool. I love it so much because when its air is warm inside in the house from a hot day. I use it to help me breath. I have it above my bed head so the mist decrease on mehelping me to breath.

Jane, did you find the answer to your question? I know the Breeze was well-designed for simplicity of use so they need to answer your question. Please let me know using this question service. Thank you. Helen D.

I have only used the breeze pads, but it would not hurt just to give the others a try to compare.

the word choice is not perfect, you're right...but it cools better than a general fan. I clipped it on to a rear facing car seat in the bakersfield heat and it functioned well to "cool" my baby. I can only give you a mom perspective as I don't know the mechanics of it all. Hopefully you get a response from the manufacturer. Good luck.

I too live in a warm climate and have no problem with the breath ability of this product....it has been as good as some I have purchased for more than double the price. Plus....it washes so well in your machine - a bonus!

We use this attached to the bed, so seeing the baby is not an issue at all because I'm essentially above her. I don't find breathability to be a concern.

I have it placed by a window where I get a nice breeze so the air blowing in is cool and works nicely, from early evening to mid-morning. However it is not an air conditioner so if the room is hot it just slightly cools things down. I still love it!

It has 2 settings, so one is louder and the other softer. It's not very loud if you ask me which is good. Yet it still provides good air movement!

No. It keeps me pretty cool. There are also vents you can open to circulate some more air.

We are currently using it right now. I think our baby does get a little warm with it on. We typically put her to bed in the suit and a onsie. With the air conditioner, she wakes up with sweaty feet and clammy skin, but doesn't complain when wearing it. In fact, she won't sleep at all without it.

The natural wind is better then the normal wind! Normal wind is like a normal fan! It goes in and out but the natural which is the button at the top is great just always clean your filter
