As a busy mom of a toddler and a newborn, I was introduced to a baby carrier called Portamee. It carrys toddlers up to 35 pounds, it also has a newborn attachment! I can hold my child's hand, she is very comfortable, I am very comfortable and it comes with everything I need without carrying another bag. A place for diapers and snacks, a bottle holder, and a place for my belongings. I can walk straight out the door! The lumbar support is fantastic and I have no aches after carrying my toddler! I have to rave about this carrier to everyone! If you are interested, check out the site! www.portamee.com Thanks!! I have to tell people about this product!!

Not only did she receive calls from me, she called me 10 days ago (after I posted this review) to apologize for not returning my calls, saying that she was dealing with family issues and travel to China. I also received a refunt from her. Honesty is important when conducting business both as a client and as owner. In the meantime I have discovered the product that really works for older/larger babies - the Ergo carrier. It is extremely comfortable and ergonomicaly sound. Strongly recommended.

We happen to love the Portamee and I'm sorry you didn't have the same experience. We do appreciate your feedback, though, since it is a different point of view.

These reviewrs must be the 2 owners posing as others. Save yourself somemoney and more importantly your SHOULDERS and get the Playtex HipHammock Deluxe. After selling me a FAULTY portamee and replacing it with an offer of an upgrade once the new portamee is available, I have been unale to contact the owners. We got a playtex hip hammock deluxe. Both my husband and I LOVE it. And the portamee is sitting around like the pile of garbagae that it is. THERE IS A REASON YOU DONT SEE ANY NEW YORKERS USING THIS CRAPPY PRODUCT. What a scam.

She LOVES IT and wears our newly walking 16 month old. She's really thrilled with that lumbar support and all the pockets. It's also really well made. Thanks!

I use my Mei Hip almost daily with my 12 month old. It's easy to put on and comfortable for both of us. You may also want to check out the EllaRoo Mei Hip. http://www.ellaroo.com/mei-hip.php
