J’ai une poupée Selina que j’utilise pour faire des démonstrations et enseigner le portage, ainsi que pour permettre à mes client.e.s de s’entraîner à utiliser des porte-bébés. Cette poupée est excellente et sa taille donne un bon aperçu d’un nouveau né de quelques semaines. J’ai déjà acheté d’autres poupées et j’ai bénéficié d’un service et d’une communication exceptionnels de la part de l’École Porter La Vie. Je recommande vivement l’achat de leurs poupées lestées !

I have a Selina doll that I use to demonstrate and teach babywearing, as well as for my clients to practice using baby carriers. The doll is so well made and its size provides a good approximation of a newborn a few weeks old. I have purchased other dolls and received wonderful service and communication with École Porter La Vie. Highly recommend buying their weighted dolls!
