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.

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!

Yes! It is great outside. We had the original model and love it. We have had some big issues with the new model getting it folded back up, but maybe it just needs to be done a few times to get broken in? Absent that, it is one of my favorite baby products. We can be outside during nap time, rather than exiled inside on a nice day.

i bought two honeywell tower fans as it had the thermostat and other features, but i just realized that the air from the lasso fan is cooler so i am buying another Lasko wind curve for better air quality ( plus it seems that the the lasso fan is more powerful... i can feel the air from the lasso while it was placed farther than the honeywell.. yes i did this test ;0) )

Baby Bjorn doesn't make this version of the travel crib anymore. Go to their website and you can see that the new version has mesh extending all the way to the bottom, which seems safer. That is the one we bought for our baby. I wouldn't feel comfortable with a small, active baby in this crib even if the company claims the sides are breathable.

yes, thats exactly what I got... remember. it will feel weird because its taller, but its a good thing, because they tend to over heat and the extra air will do wonders. it did for me. I love it. bought it twice. once in 2008 and another one this year.

I would say so. Because it puts off a light breeze. We use it in a stroller bassinet for our newborn at the pool. If it gets extra hot out we also use a cooling towel to give a little extra help with the cooling factor.

Yes it is. I said it was not as powerful as the Ionic Breeze (we had 5 of those) but it works. It is goldenrod season and ragweed season here, and the unit needed cleaning as it was hissing. Turned it off to clean it later, forgot for two days. Both mornings we woke up stuffed up. Cleaned it, started it in the morning, and that night and the following nights, no allergies. Same principle as the IBreeze, now a better design. Likely will get some more.

We will have our baby in the winter so I am unaware as to its breath-ability in the hot weather

Yes. It made a huge difference in the amount of shade. I liked it and it was pretty easy to use. My daughter is now five so we haven't used a stroller in awhile.

I'm not even aware it's on unless I specifically "listen" for it. I, then can hear it. It's similar to a well oiled fan. It does make the air more pleasant to breathe.

I've used mine once, so far. While there was a breeze, I was fine, but it did become overly warm under there. Still better than a sunburn.

It seems to blow the same. I do not use the cool button. I just turned it on and held in the cool button, and the air flow seemed the same.

Yes, you do. That would be a negative to this product for some. I like it, you don't have to wind. It continues to play until baby is out, then you can shut it off.

Not really. the fan does a slow breeze. it is not like a traditional fan. it works great but it may not be what you expect.

It moves air, a lot of it. And the moving air feels cooler but not like colder air conditioning would.

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.
