What size to get for only woven wrap?

I'll probably order the Chimparoo since it is reasonably priced and local.  Should I get a short one or a regular size? My understanding is that you can't do all the carries with a sort one, but is a long one too much of a PITA for a beginner?  (I'm 5'6" and about 145 lbs at the moment.)

A size 6 would do you well. The first carry I learned was the front cross carry with a longer wrap and I still think it's the easiest carry.

Their sizes are not standard.    

That would be 4.6, right? Their wraps come in 2.5, 3.6, 4.5 or 5.2.  Would 4.5 be pretty much the same as 4.6 or would I be missing a few inches all the time? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

It's not dumb, the sizing really threw me off at first too. A 6 would be a 4.6m and a 4.5 well still be just fine, like you said just a couple inches off. You'll still be able to do all the standard carries. You tube has some great videos, that's how I learned.

Ok, thanks

I second the 4.5, definitely the way to go.  I always recommend longer wraps for beginners, because you can always cut it shorter if you find that's what you need.
