The trouble I keep having is I fall in LOVE with a print and then it is out of stock. Then begins a wild goose chase all over the internet that typically leads me no where. </p> <p>How tall are you? I was thinking I would order a size 6 but I have heard that if you are petite it can be really long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-pros-and-cons#post-797487 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:19:12 +0000 littlebittyhouse 797487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Protectlove: I have a size 6 Girasol in Northern Lights. I really really love it! My LO is 11mo and about 23ish lbs. We didn't have a breaking in period really - I washed it a few times to get it a little softer. We typically front wrap cross carry (FWCC) and I will either wrap on me or do a pop-able depending on what we're doing. I use Robin's hip carry a lot but the tails drive me crazy because my wrap is so LONG! We've done a few back carries but I have a hard time doing it without help b/c I have a wiggly leg straightener. I highly suggest a Girasol. Like I said, the only drawback for me is that with a hip carry I have some really long tails. I might need to buy a ring sling for hip carries ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-pros-and-cons#post-797445 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:11:04 +0000 Protectlove 797445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebittyhouse: Which wrap did you go with?<br /> I have spent far too much time researching and still have yet to come up with a decision on a woven. My daughter is 10 months and I am 21 weeks pregnant. The carriers I have used up to know have gotten uncomfortable now that my belly has showed up. I am leaning towards the Easycare wrap because I adore the colors but have been slowed down by the breaking in period it takes.<br /> There are no lending libraries in my area so as much as I would love to try before I buy- its not an option. I have to just jump in with my fingers crossed! </p> <p>I would love to hear more about what wrap you got! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-pros-and-cons#post-746332 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:47:48 +0000 littlebittyhouse 746332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched to a woven wrap after LO outgrew the moby. I really liked wrapping and knew that I wanted to continue on. </p> <p>Pros:<br /> Happy baby!<br /> Secure<br /> Supportive<br /> Easy to nurse<br /> No adjusting the size to fit mom/dad<br /> Fits in diaperbag<br /> Gorgeous color options</p> <p>Cons:<br /> Learning curve to wrapping<br /> Potential cost - A larger wrap with work for all carries but if you want a 'shortie' wrap for quick hip carries you'll need another wrap. </p>
