A 6 is a good base size for most people-- you can check the charts <a href="http://www.bwiaustin.org/wp/?page_id=425" rel="nofollow">http://www.bwiaustin.org/wp/?page_id=425</a> for some additional information on that topic.<br /> Favorite brand-- you can't really go too far wrong here. Pricing right now is pretty competitive on the swap, and quite a bit down from several months ago, so it's a good time to be a buyer. You might want to keep an eye out for hemp or linen blends, as those are typically more supportive, but don't feel tied to that recommendation. As far as the swap goes, best advice is to just watch for a while. Get a feel for what you like the looks (and price) of, see what seems reasonable as a price, and go from there. Pricing doesn't tend to be too out-there, because people know they won't sell for a wildly inflated price, but there are some people now and then who will really ask more than they ought, and it's nice to know what the going rate is so you don't end up over-paying. I'd be happy to help once you get a feel for what you are looking for. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrappers-help#post-1416194 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:45:17 +0000 Arden 1416194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 fits the average person and allows you to do most carries, so it's good for beginners. </p> <p>I'll leave the rest of the advice up to the experts - I'm a newbie! :)</p> <p>P.S. I have a Girasol and I adore it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrappers-help#post-1416162 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:31:28 +0000 cyan 1416162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am ready to venture into the world of woven wraps, but I am a bit (ok, a LOT) intimidated. My LO *loves* to be worn (SSC and ring sling). What do I need to know in order to get started with wovens? Specifically... </p> <p>What size would be a good all-around, multipurpose wrap? I am petite (if that matters), and I don't have the budget for multiple wraps right now, so I want to make sure that I get one that will be versatile.</p> <p>What brand is your favorite? This would be mainly for toddler-use, if that matters.</p> <p>And, if you are so inclined, any tips you would care to share about the swap? I am guessing that is probably my best bet for finding a good deal?</p> <p>Thank you so much for any advice :happy:</p> <p>ETA: I thought of one more question: any carries that are particularly good for beginners? </p>
