Portamee Baby Carrier
Apaprently, the Portamee Baby Carrier, which bills itself as the “Prada” of baby carriers, is becoming the new favorite of celebrity dads such as Tom Cruise. It is also receiving a lot of media attention, and has been featured on the Today Show.
What makes this carrier so special? One distinguishing feature is that it is made with high end fabrics and leather trim. It is also designed to help eliminate back fatigue with a lumbar support. Its simple design is made to appeal to dads on the go (although it works perfectly for moms too). Not only is the appearance very masculine, but the carrier comes with built-in features such as pockets for keys, cell phones, wallets, and other gadgets in addition to baby essentials.
The carrier is intended for use with children from about 4 months of age up to 35 pounds. An optional headrest allows you to use the carrier with a newborn as well. The cost of this carrier is higher than most, but if it suits your style and money is no object, you can purchase one for $180 at LaLaLing.com.
I have a portamee!
Very upscale and well made in an understated non flashy way.
This thing is excellent if you want to get out the door and take baby for a walk without carrying anything else.
i like the pockets and the back thing - excellent support.
No need to go to LaLaLing though - the company sells it for $50 bucks less.
