Storchenwiege or Ellaroo?

[Minoh]

I'm looking into buying a wrap for DS because I like the versatility of many carrying positions. I was wondering if anyone has tried both a Storch and an Ellaroo; which do you prefer and why?

Thanks!

I have an Inka Storch and an Ellaroo LaRae and prefer the Storch. The weave is smoother and seems more supportive. I liked the Ellaroo just fine when Reese was tiny, but the Storch seemed to distrubute his weight better once he got bigger.

Like Jess said, though they're both woven the weaves are very different. The Storch is thicker and cushier and I do find it more comfortable for longer carries and with older, heavier babies.

The strorch has a smoother feel perhaps but I like the ER better myself. I like the lighter weight feel of the ER and it just seems easier to tie to me. I think the storch would be hot in the summer if you are in a hot weather area.
happy shopping

Thanks for letting me know your preferences mamas. I decided to order a storch because it seems it can be worn until my baby is older. I was a little worried about the heaviness of the fabric but it is cooler than hot here most of the time.

It's so hard to decide on these things when I can't try the wraps before buying as I have to do it over the internet. It's nice to have input, though, before deciding .
