The PortaMEe Baby Carrier offers a carrier that melds functional parenting and sophisticated design for the working parent on the go. A passionate pioneer in product development, Robin Stein realized we are not only the biggest baby boom in over 40 years, but we are also in a luxury market boom as well. In other words, today’s parents want only the very best for their babies. The PortaMEe Baby Carrier is the very best.
Robin joined forces with Jennifer Gilbert, an award winning entrepreneur with expertise in providing sophisticated, customized solutions for all of her clients’ needs. Together they developed the PortaMEe Baby Carrier, a sophisticated baby carrier that allows for eye contact between parent and child and lumbar support for common back fatigue. As busy mothers and executives on the go, Robin and Jennifer wanted a baby carrier that allowed them to be truly hands free (usually with a Blackberry in one hand), simple to use, stylish and sophisticated.
The features of the PortaMEe Baby Carrier all have your convenience in mind.
• An insulated bottle holder snaps onto the inside panels of the PortaMEe’s fanny pack, with a capacity for most 6, 8, and 12 oz bottles, as well as the wider Avent models.
• A versatile shoulder strap dramatically eases neck and shoulder tension, utilizing a unique honeycomb gel in the padding. The shoulder strap includes a cell-phone pocket for easy access, as well as a convenient hook for your keys or your baby’s favorite toy or teether. Adjustable buckles allow for easy on and off of your PortaMEe Baby Carrier.
• An attached, zippered wallet gives you a secure, convenient place to stash your PDA and all your essentials.
• Also available, though sold separately, are a hooded cape made of matching, water-resistant material, and designed to fit most 5-18 month olds, and an infant headrest allowing you to wear a baby as small as 8 pounds in your PortaMEe Baby Carrier.
The PortaMEe Baby Carrier was designed as a hip carrier because eye contact is fundamental to bonding between parent and child, and is facilitated when a child is worn on the hip. Women have been carrying their babies on their hips for thousands of years, both because of the natural eye contact allowed by that position, but also because women in particular have more natural strength in their hips and legs than their back. Conventional front packs place the weight on your lower back, but the PortaMEe Baby Carrier was designed with a woman’s body in mind (though it’s also great for the men in your life!).
PortaMEe Baby Carriers are extensively tested through independent testing laboratories, exceeding all ASTM standards. In fact, the safety consultant for the PortaMEe Baby Carrier literally wrote the book on ASTM soft carrier infant standards. For added security, the PortaMEe Baby Carrier includes a safety belt for your child.
With the PortaMEe Baby Carrier, you can wear your baby in comfort and style, while being truly hands free. Tuck a few diapers in the back pocket, hook on your keys, attach the bottle holder, stash your credit cards and cell phone, and you and your little one are ready for whatever the day may hold!
