Mel - thanks for your input. So the pikkolo is really a no go then? All my kids have super long bodies (lucky DD1 with a long body and long legs!) and I've only got a short 5 foot 5 body.. haha

Maybe I should just get the oh snap then.... I'm not that fond of mei tais, just cos I have to tie it, and it always gets loose and it seems like I'm forever tightening it...
