It's lots of jewel tones) size 6 that was great when ds was little for front carries. Just now trying back carries with him. He's fairly impatient at 18 months, so longer wrapping jobs are few and far between. I'm actually considering converting it to a Mei tai. I also have a size 4 didymous April hemp Indio that I LOVE. I would love another Indio in a longer length. They are fabulous. Last, I have a did aqua waves size 2. This wrap is so lovely,but I'm still struggling to figure out shorter carries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1722044 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:53:19 +0000 rrachael 1722044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a didymos pfau petrol and I adore it. It's very sturdy with my 24 lb 18 month old. A bit warm for the summer though because it's so thick. Otherwise I totally recommend it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1721900 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:55:57 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1721900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: You make me wish I had asked for a woven wrap last year instead of my Beco just because yours are all gorgeous. And you (and your hubs) always look so stylish in them ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1721878 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:37:25 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1721878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: the Toronto baby wearing group is meeting by my house on July 13th. I was thinking if going. We can take the girls to the park afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1721108 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:56:24 +0000 travelgirl1 1721108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I love the colours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1721094 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:51:03 +0000 Arden 1721094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: Aww! Yeah Vi doesn't like to see her wraps get put away. She wants them at arms reach and she'll frequently drag one around the house with her. At least it breaks them in quickly! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1721085 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:49:12 +0000 blackbird 1721085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a girasol snow rainbow ring sling :) </p> [attach=618/14/n7qk61.600x450.dscf1546.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1721071 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:45:45 +0000 travelgirl1 1721071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I remember seeing pictures of V sleeping with her wrap, so sweet! I put my Ergo in the laundry the other day and A FREAKED out! She pulled it back out and wouldn't let me put it in again, I think she would love a wrap that she could snuggle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1721069 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:43:37 +0000 travelgirl1 1721069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: @grizz: @Arden: Thanks, girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1721056 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:39:21 +0000 Arden 1721056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a Girasol lover. My first wrap was a girasol amitola DW purple weft. We liked the colorway so much we bought one in the black weft and had it converted to a mei tai. :)<br /> We also had a Girasol Harvest for awhile that I loved and will rebuy someday. :P I currently want an Iridescence DW Cuervo and an Ardent DW.</p> <p>We also have a dyed Ellevill Zara that is lovely for hot weather. </p> <p>I haven't tried one yet, but I have my heart set on a Didymos Indio. There are lots of lovely colors but I think I want a green, maybe Olivia. DH wants the anthracite. DH also wants a Kokadi Firescales and a Natibaby Gears.</p> <p>Here are the wraps we've had. From top to bottom, Gira Amitola, Gira Harvest, Ellevill Zara. </p> [attach=2195/14/n7qjwj.449x600.image.jpg] [attach=2195/14/n7qjwl.400x600.image.jpg] [attach=2195/14/n7qjwo.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1721034 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:32:50 +0000 Boheme 1721034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a toddler, I echo @heartonastring:. A blend would be best! I especially love linen and hemp for toddlers. I just got an Ocha Kasumi Peitho though, and its super strong! Its a silk blend, and has a high weight. I also love my Didymos Wrappers Delight indio - its a linen blend. I'd join The Babywearing Swap and get a feel for what you like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1721019 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:28:10 +0000 heartonastring 1721019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one (and one wrap conversion ring sling) and it's a Natibaby Leopard. I really like it, but I don't have a lot to compare it to. </p> <p>Are you on the Babywearing Swap on Facebook? I just stalked the b/s/t listings for a long time before narrowing down the ones I liked. A lot of it is just based on personal preference.</p> <p>For a toddler you probably want a blend (linen/cotton is a good one) and I'd avoid bamboo because it likely won't be supportive enough to be comfortable to wear a toddler for long. </p> <p>If you're looking for specific suggestions though, Didymos Indios are much-loved wraps, and they come in tons of different blends and colours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favourite-woven-wrap#post-1720885 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:42:10 +0000 travelgirl1 1720885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my Ergo daily but Mrs Twine's blog post this morning has inspired me to search for a wrap (if I can persuade DH about the $$ :silly: ).</p> <p>So, tell me which wrap you have and why you :heart: it. My daughter is 19 months and about 22lb so I'm looking for something along those lines. </p>
