Freezer Tray 2-Pack

Several reviews here mention that they are very stiff and it's hard to get the cubes out. The plastic is sturdy (and I like that) but I notice no difference between the ease of popping food cubes out of these vs. regular ice cube trays frozen food is hard to pop out, that's just a fact. All you have to do is run a little water over the back side for a few seconds, then turn them out with a little tap/twist/shake I do the same thing with my regular ice cube trays. They also clean up beautifully and quickly (and are dishwasher safe).
Another great thing about these trays is that they are BPA/Phthalate free. This is important to me.
Note that on the KidCo website (makers of these trays) they state that each section is approximately 1 ounce not 2 ounces as mentioned in some reviews here and in one of the product descriptions here on amazon.I was pleasantly surprised at the number of products Babies R Us carries for making and storing home mad baby food, and found these trays (though the matching bowl was out of stock).
I like the fact that these have covers, which makes the stackable and helps maximize freezer space, and are BPA free. The fact that you can write on them means little to me as I would never use them for long term storage and if I just cooked the food the day before I am pretty sure I can remember what it is for when I transfer it to a ziploc baggie. The shaped cubes fitting in the matching bowl is cute too. The problem with this product is, I've already cracked one of them trying to twist them to get the food out. They are too brittle and don't release the cubes. That being said, after I cracked the first one, I ran the second one under warm water for a second and the cubes released. That is all well and good but the first one was already broken. Kidco is going to replace it though, I just spoke to their customer service and I have to send a picture of the cracked one and they will send me a new one. A warning on the box would be helpful in avoiding this situation.
I also bought at Wilton silicone baking sheet with small square cubes, and it is easier to get the cubes out but they are only about 1/2 oz. each which is too small. The thought struck me to use silicone muffin pans instead. This is what I am going to do from now on. If you have a beginning eater, you can use mini muffin pans, and if you have a child who is eating more, you can use the standard size muffin pan. By placing a cooling rack between each muffin pan, you can easily stack these on top of one another in the freezer. And when you don't need them to make baby food you can use them to bake muffins and cupcakes.I bought this item and I use regular ice cube trays as well. With both, I have to run hot water over the bottom of the trays for a few seconds before trying to pop out the frozen food, and then it's no problem getting the food out. I like using this tray with the smaller serving trays. The covers fit nice and snug and stack nicely in the freezer as opposed to using trays without covers which you have to wrap with plastic wrap and cannot stack. I highly recommend this item!!Awful, awful, awful. If I could give them zero stars, I would. The very first time I tried to remove food from one, it broke. I twisted it, as you do with ice cube trays, and it snapped right in two. I wasn't even twisting very hard. The plastic is just way too hard for this purpose. I went out to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought some covered ice cube trays that have eight cubes all in a single row, and they're fantastic. They're much more flexible and take up half the room for the same number of cubes. They were only $2.99 each. These Kidco trays are bulky and brittle and not worth the money. Avoid them at all cost!

Klean Kanteen 12 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle (Sports Cap 3.0 in Bright Green) - All Colors

-stainless steel doesn't leach into food
-eliminates single-use garbage / eco-friendly
-lightweight
-very durable
-look great
This is all that in a kid's size. Gone is the graveyard of broken plastic sippy cups in the cabinet, this thing is super durable, and easy enough that my 2yo nephew can use with minimal supervision.
The sport cap 3.0 is perfect, they finally got it right. Doesn't leak, doesn't squeak, great volume of water, soft silicone tip won't hurt if a child bumps or chews on it.
It's not necessary to open the top all the way for a child, half-way is plenty of flow, especially compared to sippy cups they might be used to.
It's nice and small. Using a measuring cup I poured 12 ounces in, it filled up to the bottom of the threads. The top can be screwed on and not a drop spills 12 useable ounces.
Awesome addition to the Klean Kanteen lineup!

Bottom line, if you like dried bananas then these are for you.
The vanilla ones have a much softer taste.I purchased this item for two of my grandchildren (ages 2 and 5) and, while they do both tend to be picky eaters, this product was not one of their favorites. I am sorry that I had to purchase several boxes, just to try it. I was not impressed with the "banana" flavoring. I guess I expected it to taste more like real bananas (think banana bread), instead of that overpowering, fake banana taste that is often found in commercial products. It may be organic, but that does not guarantee that it is good tasting. To be fair, this product was designed for children, so I hope others post a review based on the opinion of little ones who are not as choosy as my grandkids!

Bloom Nano Urban High Chair, White Frame with Seat Pad
Posted by

on Tuesday, September 10, 2013
We had no trouble with the tray the 3 sliding positions worked great and the fact that you can throw it in the dishwasher is a real bonus.
anyway, we love the nano and at $180 with such a cool, modern design we definitely would recommend it to anyone!I hate to do this but.... do not buy this chair! We got it and have been so disappointed in it it just isn't designed for practical use the main problem is that the seat back is in no way supportive at all and in fact babies of all ages can only slouch in it. Its not just our son (who has been using it from 5 months to 8 month) but we tested it out on older infants too and got the same problem. I have still been using it whilst waiting for our new chair but our nanny refuses to she has worked in the industry many years and says she has never seen such a useless chair!
It looks ok in real life though I thought the white color was more cream than anything, and of course it folds down to very slim but what is the point in having a chair that encourages bad posture honestly its very difficult for them to pull them selves forward to the table Oh and another thing the table slants towards the seat so things don't sit on it straight why sell something based on being a modern design if it just doesn't work I can not wait to get anything else but this

I bought this chair because I like that it folds down, and because it was attractive. Unfortunately, these are the only 2 good things about it.When open, the base of the chair is HUGE. Since we bought it for a small kitchen, this is a pain. The base is so much wider than the chair that we always trip over it when it's open.
If you let a speck of food dry on it, good luck getting it out of all the attractive little seams on the arm holders. And good luck cleaning the wet food out of the little seams, too! The fake leather material does spot clean nicely, which is a plus. However, the fabric trim does not. And you can't put it in the washing machine!
It's also very hard to get the tray on and off: it requires at least three hands.
I also agree with the other reviewer that the baby can't really sit up in it.
I gave it two stars because it does look good. I wish more chairs didn't have cartoon characters on them, and I wish more chairs folded up this nicely. However, I feel I wasted a lot of money on this chair and can't recommend it to anyone.
Read Best Reviews of Bloom Nano Urban High Chair, White Frame with Seat Pad Here
We bought our nano because we loved the modern look and the flat fold; simple design with a function that helps a lot. We chose the pearl white but i see bloom has now introduced an orange, which would have made our decision harder...Another great feature that we didnt even realize until we put it together is the at-the-table option. A lot of our friends had talked about this and we swear by it having baby right at the table and part of the family mealtime is so more inclusive.
We have used the tray occasionally and its fine, if a bit large. Its great to have both options though; they (bloom) should make that clearer as its actually a really good selling point.
Want Bloom Nano Urban High Chair, White Frame with Seat Pad Discount?
I never write reviews on amazon but am compelled to keep people from making the mistake of buying this high chair. Although it looks good, it's not functional. The seat is too reclined, making the child slouch. That problem, combined with a tray that doesn't slide up close enough to the child, makes it so every single spill will end up in the child's lap (I've perfected taping my son's bib to the bottom of the tray). The seat cover has deep crevices and seams that get caulked with food at every feeding. The hinges on the side are at the most convenient spot for dirty hands, so it's always caked with food remnants as well. Maybe I'm not OCD enough to own this chair and keep things clean! Also, the coconut white is more of an off-white.
