I'm excited to finally have a way to continue to make my child's food, and have it in a travel friendly product. My 19 month old enjoys the "squeeze" products available in the grocery--and they make great snacks when we are running errands. This product is a great way to recreate those with foods and products that I'm choosing, and at a lessened expense. I like that the slow-flow version is great for the car... it does take some work for the child to get any out--but there hasn't been an issue with spilling. The faster flow is great for when an adult is able to supervise the squeezing of the product. I feel like after some regular use (and maturing of my toddler) supervision may not be necessary for the faster-flow version.
This is a great investment for parents who like to make food for their children.
Pros:
Easy to fill
Easy to use
I love the cap stays attached
Easy to clean
Love the colors
Love that more than a few ounces can fit into the product--makes for a larger snack for a growing kid!
Cons:
I'm not sure about the string that attaches the cap to the base... I think it will be fine in the long run, but I worry about keeping it clean.
It is difficult to attach the cap to the base (must be lined up), but the way we are using these right now, my child isn't responsible for attaching the cap, so it isn't an issue.My 12 month old loves this as he is really into feeding himself. It did take him a several attempts to learn to bite and suck the spout to get stuff out. I started by squeezing it for him and the puree would come out only when he bit but now he's got the hang so we are getting another in a smaller size. We got the 6 ounce and we end up discarding some.
If you are purchasing this item for a little one be prepared to be patient and allow them time to figure it out. Also puree needs to be smooth and relatively thin, I tried with mashed bananas and cereal the first time and even I couldn't suck it out. Whoops. Test it yourself with plain water and then the puree so you know what your child is up against.

This product did not work for me. I was very excited about it, but whenever I put anything in there from applesauce to baby food, the food does not come out. It is almost like the air is sucking it back into the container. My son will not use it because he can't figure it out. I was very, very disappointed.This product is not worth a purchase. One has to practically twist the bottle sideways to get a drop out of the bottle. Something wrong with the flow.I own four of these squeezes. I love them and so do my kiddos. Even my seven year old will use one. I would suggest to order the nipple that is for the older kids. The first ones I ordered were the ones for the younger babies and it was nearly impossible for my baby to suck. I ordered the replacement nipples for the older kids and he has no problem with them. They are more like the size of the opening of the pouches in the store. Sort of free flowing. I have had them for a year and have had no problems. I ordered them from their website and paid quite a bit more and then shipping on top of that. But they were still worth it.
