Feature Friday: PortaChair from the BambinOz Product Line (Review and Giveaway)

Closed.  And, the winner is: Madeline.

What is the PortaChair?:

The PortaChair is great for using at home, dining out, or when you are simply visiting a friends’ house. The PortaChair goes where you go because it’s compact, lightweight and folds small enough to fit in a baby bag, at the bottom of your stroller or even a purse. The innovative design fits a wide variety of chairs and is flexible to accommodate your growing child.

Take the PortaChair with you to restaurants and avoid exposure to germs on highchairs used by hundreds of other children. It's also great way to keep children secure when you are traveling through busy airports or malls when there's no highchair in sight.

We've paid particular attention to the details in designing this product. All of the straps are fully adjustable for maximum safety and the soft cushioning will keep your child comfortable. We've also added a convenient cord at the bottom so you can neatly fold and carry the Porta Chair when not in use.

Key Features:

• 5-Point safety harness for maximum support
• Fully adjustable shoulder straps that grow with your child
• Lightly padded and gently tapered for maximum comfort
• Suitable from 5 months – 2 ½ years of age
• Unique design fits the greatest range of chairs (both wide and tall)
• Durable, machine washable fabric that’s easy to clean
• Independently safety tested and meets leading international safety standards and guidelines
• Lightweight and folds compactly
• Accredited and approved by the Infant Nursery Products Association of Australia (INPAA)

My Review:

This past Monday I shared my "Spotlight on Mommy" interview with Carren Reiger, with you all.  If you missed my post, click here to read it now.  Carren is the owner of BambinOz, and creator of the PortaChair and the Bottle Warmer Pack.  Like I said in my post on Monday, I have been using the PortaChair she sent me for the past couple of weeks and don't know how I ever did without. This product works on various seat types, including high backs, arm chairs and even bar stools. And, as a busy mom on the go, it is great to be able to leave this product in the car and have it on hand if the need arises.  Like, this past weekend, we took Savannah pumpkin picking and stopped on the way home to eat.  Having never been to the restaurant, we weren't sure if they had high chairs or not.  When we went to be seated, they only had one high chair left, but the straps were broke.  They said we could wait until the party using the other high chair was done, but we were all hungry and couldn't wait.  So, my husband quickly ran out to the car and brought in the PortaChair.  In an instant, we had Savannah securing strapped in and ready to eat.  Ahh, the relief I felt, knowing that we wouldn't have to wait for the highchair to become available, and that our now hungry and fussy daughter could begin snacking, while waiting for her dinner.  Because Savannah is only 14 1/2 months old, she is not ready for a booster seat, so this is the perfect product to have on hand for dining out, as well as when we visit family and friends who don't have young children or proper seating, if we decide to stay for a bite to eat.  Now, wherever we go, Savannah has a portable high chair/seat that will secure her to any chair.  It is just an amazing product, and I am thankful that another mom entrepreneur like Carren came up with the product idea and brought it to market.

If you are a busy mom on the go, or even ran into seating issues dining out or visiting family and friends, the PortaChair is the answer.  This would also make a great baby shower gift, or gift for baby's 1st birthday.
