Size guide
How do you choose the perfect size?
Woven baby wrap
Your choice of wrap size depends on the wearing parent - not the baby.
You have to remember that some wraps will "eat" more and others less wrapping fabric.
There are 7 wrap sizes to choose from, but these five are the most common:
Size 4 - (length 3.6 m, width 0.6 m - 0.7 m) is suitable for the following carry: kangaroo carry, hip kangaroo carry and single back carry.
Size 5 - (length 4.2 m, width 0.6 m - 0.7 m) is perfect for a small, slim person
Size 6 - (length 4.6 m, width 0.6 m - 0.7 m) is perfect for a person of average build (up to clothing size 42/44 (UK 14/16))
Size 7 - (length 5.2 m, width 0.6 m - 0.7 m) is perfect for people who wear size 42/44 (14/16) and larger and also for a tall person (women over 178 cm tall and men over 185 cm tall - also slim built)
Size 8 - (length 6.0 m, width 0.6 m - 0.7 m) is perfect for larger parents and for a fancy finish
Please note
Fabric may shrink by approximately 7-9% during the first wash.

Elastic/stretchy wrap
There is a standard size of an elastic wrap that fits parents of different sizes and shapes (remember the maximum weight is 10 kg):
Size L - (length 5 m, width 0.52 m - 0.55 m)
Ring sling
They are available in several sizes depending on the manufacturer - Lenny Lamb has 1.8m. Little Frog has two sizes 1.7m and 2.1m, Vanamo has three sizes 1.7, 1.9 and 2.1m. Yaro has a size of 2m. The most universal size of the ring sling is size 1.8m.
They are 0.6 m - 0.7 m wide. Perfect for everyone. Ring slings can be used for children up to 15-20 kg, depending on how thick the sling is.
Remember that slings are chemically processed in the final manufacturing stages, so they may shrink a little during the first wash (7-9%).
When choosing a sling, the most important thing is the child's age / size.
