Can I justify buying a Connecta Solarweave...

...Or should I be fine with what I've got (Manduca and Storch)?

Going to Cyprus for a week in July, when LO will be 15mo. Apart from that, just British "summer". Want a Solarweave, I think, but v little money to spare. Worth buying and selling on, or should I just calm myself down and make do?

If you have a storch and are therefore used to tying wovens, I would go with a 2nd hand Calin Bleu gauze. It will probably have had its usage by the end of this summer (next summer I think it will be too narrow and not supportive enough) but if you wrap well it will still be comfy this summer and they're great for hot weather. Better than the solarweave connecta imo.

Cheers, pootlebug, that's what I think I'll do then!
Do I want the 4.6m size? I assume I do, I think that's the size of my Storch, but the CB website mentions 20cm shrinkage and if I lost 20cm of my current Storch length, it would prob rule out one of the carries I'd want to do. But maybe the Storch has already lost 20cm? It was third-hand (at least) when I got it. :)

I would measure your storch with a tape measure. The calin bleu 4.6 can run short after washing so if in any doubt I'd go with the longer one I think
