Being pregnant can be fun…like when you first start showing, your gorgeous glowing skin, and your beautiful strong nails; however, there are some "not fun" things too, including the infamous tired, sore back. Little did I know, this tired, sore back would stay with me for years to come. You see, I have two healthy size boys who love to be held by their mom. In addition, when my younger son was an infant, the only way he would nap was in his infant carrier. I can not tell you the hours, and miles, we logged with that carrier. The good thing was, he would instantly fall asleep as soon as you snapped him in. The bad news was, my back and shoulders took a real beating. As he got heavier, the strain on my back got worse. Well, now he is almost 8 months and napping like a champ in his crib; however, he still loves to be carried my his mom. So, imagine by excitement and relief to discover the portaMEe! 

The portaMEe is a stylish, chic, and easy to use baby carrier with two phenomenal features, 1) LUMBAR SUPPORT, and 2) constructed for direct eye contact with your child. From the moment I put this carrier on, my back thanked me. Constructed of "orthopedic support bars", the back and shoulder pressure from carrying my son was erased. In addition, the carrier is constructed so that the child is resting on the hip, a more natural position, so the front and back of the body are free. The best part of this side carrier is you may look face to face with your child, rather than the back or top of their head. You get to see all their smiles and giggles as you walk around the yard or through the mall as they spot new and exciting things.

The portaMEe also has a number of other fabulous features, including, leather-trimmed quality fabric, hooded cape for baby's head, zipper wallet pouch (great for license/credit card/gum), padded shoulder strap (with cell phone pocket), add-on insulated bottle holder, and more. Wearing my portaMEe, I felt like Vin Diesel in "The Pacifier", completely outfitted to handle all of my son's needs, but in comfort and style.

Baby carriers are one of the most special ways to connect with your child. They are a staple of "attachment parenting" and make your child feel warm, safe, and close to you. This is one of those products I wish I had from the beginning, but I am so grateful to have now. It is safe for children up to 3 years in age, so we will be enjoying for years to come. Whether for yourself, or for someone you love, enjoy the portaMEe, for all of its special features, and the special connection it will bring your child.
