Notes: The Gustine Evolution is a fully adjustable baby carrier for children from 8 to 45 lbs. It allows you to change the height and width according to your baby's development without having to use a booster seat. We recommend adjusting the width of the carrier to the natural spacing of your baby's legs. It is also important to adjust the carrier so that the top of the apron matches the height of the baby's neck.

What is this, the “base” size?
This is the size of wrap with which you will be able to do a cross wrap (FWCC) comfortably. Finished with a double knot at the back, without being in the points to tie the knot, nor without too much leftover fabric.
A person who wears XS/S will generally have a base 5.
A person who wears medium or large clothing will often have a base 6.
A stronger person, who wears XL (or large limit) will tend to have a base 7.
When in doubt, if you are hesitating between 2 sizes, choosing the larger one is a good option, a scarf That cuts, but it doesn't lengthen that much!
Otherwise, longer or shorter, it will only be your knotting options that will change!
**The guide remains subjective to external factors (such as your mastery of tightening or the size of your baby for example)

HOW DO YOU MEASURE A GUSTINE WOVEN WRAP?
In the portage community we say ''STIH'' (soft tape in hand).
So we measure a scarf from tip to tip, on one side only, using a soft sewing tape in the air. Be careful to follow the edge to get a good measurement.
Woven Ring Slings are recommended up to 45lb.
Expandable Ring Slings are recommended up to 22lb.
