---++++ <a name="sizes"></a>Explanation of Wrap Sizes

[[#top][ _(Back to top)_ ]]

With a few exceptions, almost any size wearer can use any size wrap. What changes is what you can do with each size. The first step is to determine your "Base Size." For most people, this is the size needed to comfortably do a Front Wrap Cross Carry and tie off in the back with a double knot. (If your wrap is tapered, this means tying without tying in the tapers.)

While this can vary based on bust size, height, wrapping skill, wrap thickness and grippiness, child's age/size, etc, a general guideline uses what size unisex t-shirt you most comfortably fit into. For most average-sized women, a 6 is a great place to start. If you are in between base sizes, it is better to work with a size up while learning. As you learn to tighten more efficiently, you will be able to do more with shorter wraps and you may find your "base" size changes to a smaller size.
| *T-shirt Size:* | XSmall, Small | Medium, Large | Large-2X | 2X+ |
| *Likely Base Size:* | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
Woven wrap carries are then categorized based on what size is needed in relation to your base size. If someone who is a base 6 can do a carry in a size 4 wrap, it is considered a "Base -2" carry (6 - 2 = 4) which means that someone whose base size is a 7 would probably need a size 5 wrap to do the same carry, but someone whose base size is a 5 might be able to do it with a 3.

If you aren't sure what size your wrap is, you can measure the length of one long rail:
<table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr><th scope="col">Woven Wrap Sizing</th><th scope="col">Size Purpose</th><th scope="col">Meters</th><th scope="col">Inches</th><th scope="col">Yards</th></tr> <tr> <td> _Width_ </td> <td> </td> <td> _0.7m-0.8m_ </td> <td> _26"-32"_ </td> <td> _0.7y-0.9y_ </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Size 1</td> <td> </td> <td>2.0m</td> <td>79"</td> <td>2.2y</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Size 2</td> <td>Shorty</td> <td>2.5m</td> <td>98"</td> <td>2.9y</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Size 3</td> <td>Shorty/Petite Midsize</td> <td>3.1m</td> <td>122"</td> <td>3.4y</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Size 4</td> <td>Average Midsize/Plus Shorty</td> <td>3.7m</td> <td>146"</td> <td>4.0y</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Size 5</td> <td>Petite (XSm-Sm) Base/Plus Midsize</td> <td>4.2m</td> <td>165"</td> <td>4.6y</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Size 6</td> <td>Average Base (Med-Lg)</td> <td>4.6</td> <td>181"</td> <td>5.0y</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Size 7</td> <td>Plus Size Base (XL-2XL), Tandems</td> <td>5.2m</td> <td>205"</td> <td>5.7y</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Size 8</td> <td>Plus+ Size Base (3X), Tandems</td> <td>5.6m</td> <td>220"</td> <td>6.1y</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Size 9</td> <td>Plus++ Size Base</td> <td>6.3m</td> <td>248"</td> <td>6.9y<br /><br /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
---++++ <a name="learn"></a>Where to learn

[[#top][ _(Back to top)_ ]]

The best way to learn, if possible, is in person at your <a href="https://babywearinginternational.org/about-bwi/chapters/" target="_blank">local babywearing group</a> with the hands-on assistance of a babywearing educator. In reality, though, you may or may not have access to such a group. It is possible to learn without such help by watching YouTube videos.

If you are learning on your own, practice with a mirror, a spotter, and over a soft surface. It is always best to check with an educator with some selfies or a video to make sure you aren't missing anything important and to receive helpful tips. You can ask in a local BWI group's Facebook group, a global babywearing group like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/everydaybabywearing/" target="_blank">Everyday Babywearing</a>, or a wrap-specific group like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1811212765781108/" target="_blank">Geeky Wrappers</a>.

Always master several front and hip carries before moving on to back carries. The carries marked as "good first carries" are the best place to start, depending on your wrap size, and will work with newborns or toddlers.
<blockquote>

Protip: Once you've learned the basics, I find that Kangaroo or Reinforced Kangaroo are great carries to learn leading up to back carries, as they will teach some of the same seat-making tips that you will use for your first back carries.

Do not attempt back carries with a woven wrap until you are proficient at several front carries and understand making a deep seat and strand-by-strand tightening. While back carries can safetly be done with newborns by experienced wrappers, it is best for first-time-wrappers to wait until their child has strong trunk control before attempting. Begin by practicing with a mirror and a spotter over a soft surface like a bed.

Good starter back carries include Rucksack Back Carry, Half Jordan's Back Carry and Secure High Back Carry.

Wearing two babies at the same time can be a game changer for parents with multiple children, especially twins. Be sure to master wrapping one child at a time before attempting to wrap them both, however.

In general, carries with both babies on the front will be easier with twins or babies of equal size. Carries that have one on the front and one on the back can be done with children of different ages.
