They're just so easy to pop in and out of, whereas I feel wrapping (at my noob stage) takes too long. </p> <p>I've got a black one for work, a rainbow with a pocket for the lake/campfires, a splash for swimming, and my Frigga Azul (that I luuuurve &lt;3 ) for dressier wear, so I don't NEED a 4th regular sling (I can not-count the water sling, right? ;-) ), but I want it. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wcrs-linen-or-twill#post-1646386 Tue, 20 May 2014 10:05:39 +0000 Weagle 1646386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@indi: I am a huge fan of RSs. I seriously love them, and have 4 at the moment. Maybe more coming :). BUT, by the time I wanted to try wrapping, my LO was way too wiggly and uninterested. Granted, that's my baby's personality, not a general rule. This time around, I'm going to start wrapping early. If I don't like it then I'll sell or split my wrap(s). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wcrs-linen-or-twill#post-1646378 Tue, 20 May 2014 10:02:38 +0000 indi 1646378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Thanks for the advice! @fussygal: &amp; @Weagle: help seal the deal - Gira wins! </p> <p>Now the big Q is whether I buy the converted sling straight from Zanytoes or buy a size 6 wrap and really try to make myself get more into wrapping. I'm leaning toward the sling just for ease of use right now. I can always sell a different sling or wrap if I want to fund a wrap version later if I get more into wrapping when she's a bit bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wcrs-linen-or-twill#post-1645855 Tue, 20 May 2014 05:26:51 +0000 Weagle 1645855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gira snowflame was my first WCRS. It was great! Much more comfortable than my linen. I really think that you should get a conversion if you know you like babywearing. It will last you longer and is more comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wcrs-linen-or-twill#post-1645825 Tue, 20 May 2014 02:53:27 +0000 fussygal 1645825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have much babywearing experience (just ordered my first RS through SBP), but I think the Girasols are sooo pretty. If I had a bigger budget I would go with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wcrs-linen-or-twill#post-1645801 Tue, 20 May 2014 00:53:24 +0000 immabeetoo 1645801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@indi: I have a SBP twill and honestly, I'd skip it if you know you're already into babywearing. Get something you'll love, that will last longer as LO gets heavier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wcrs-linen-or-twill#post-1645777 Mon, 19 May 2014 23:54:09 +0000 indi 1645777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking to add to my stash..so help enable me. Haha! I'm suffering from a bout of indecision. LO is 3 months old and we're in a climate with hot summers (upper 70s-90+). I haven't yet been reaching for the woven wrap we have, so I can't justify buying a Gira SFD size 6 if I'll barely use it. :-/ So, of the ring slings below, which would you suggest? </p> <p>Zanytoes WCRS Girasol Snow Flame Diamonds - $98 after coupon <a href="http://zanytoes.net/item_45/Girasol.htm" rel="nofollow">http://zanytoes.net/item_45/Girasol.htm</a><br /> SBP Linen RS in either Emerald Green or Royal Purple - $70 w/ pocket <a href="http://www.sleepingbaby.net/proddetail.php?prod=nlinen" rel="nofollow">http://www.sleepingbaby.net/proddetail.php?prod=nlinen</a><br /> SBP Twill RS in Sangria - $54 w/ pocket <a href="http://www.sleepingbaby.net/proddetail.php?prod=french" rel="nofollow">http://www.sleepingbaby.net/proddetail.php?prod=french</a></p> <p>I could be good and get nothing…or be smart and go with one of the cheaper ones. I'm a very frugal person. But Snow Flame is so pretty, and my birthday is coming up, so I could justify any of these. LOL. </p>
