Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Every once in a while, one finds a baby-need solution that makes life so much easier, you wish you'd had it the whole time (and in our case, for your last kid). This is one of those times. The prospect of going out with our two little ones always had this little road bump of stress on the horizon: When its time to give the little one the bottle while we're at the zoo, on a hike, at the botanical gardens...how are we gonna heat that sucker up? Is there a cafe that will give us a hot cup of water? Is there warm water in the bathroom? Kid you not, at the LA Zoo, I actually had to use one of those bathroom hand-dryers to warm up a bottle of breast milk...Boo! With this warmer, we won't have that issue again. It's a simple solution. Basically, a hot water thermos and a large, insular water container that nest together when not in use. No electricity needed. Fill it up on your way out with boiling water, and many hours later you'll have plenty of hot water to warm your bottle with. Because we stock it with very hot water, it literally only takes a few minutes to heat up a chilled bottle of breast milk. The only reason we don't give it 5 stars is because of it's bulk, and because it requires extreme care to be used safely. I'll be honest here and "out" myself for stupidity: I once tried to pour the hot water into the container while it was clenched between my knees and proceeded to burn my thigh. Now this is more of a common sense problem on my part than a design flaw, but I share it as a reminder that hot liquids and parenting need to be handled with forethought and care. Pros: Works; Works Quickly Easy to Use Large Enough to Fit Any Bottle or Food Container Cons: Large Heavy Requires Extreme Care To Use: Because it works with hot water, you can scald yourself or your baby if you are not careful. Whatever you do, do NOT pour the water or let the bottle sit and warm up anywhere within reach or spilling distance of your precious one!
