My initial impression was the packaging was lovely and bright and the product looked great. The design was brilliant and looked like a great design and perfect for babies to hold. I found the item mostly easy to use, however the bit that you turn to push the food up was a bit fiddly to get right. My daughter found the product really easy to hold, even with 1 hand. With the feeder being silicone, it was really easy for my daughter to munch on the food inside and easily feed herself. It was really easy to pop small bits of food into the feeder. Although, I did have some issues getting the bit to push the food up to fit properly. This was a great way to introduce solids to my daughter. It helped me relax when she was eating and not worry about her choking on big bits of food. I feel the feeder helped with my daughters teething. I was able to put fruit in the feeder from the fridge so it was cold on her gums. We mainly used the feeder for fruit like strawberries, blueberries, plums and banana. The product was so easy to clean. Comes apart really quickly and able to wash all the bits and pieces. We used the feeder almost daily for my daughter to feed herself. We used the product at home but with the product having a lid, it would be really easy to use out and about. I really liked the different sized silicone teats and the ability to push the food up. This product definitely offers value for money with the ability to use it with the difference sized teats as your baby grows. I definitely would consider buying this product. Its helped make weaning a fun and enjoyable experience, taking the worry away. I would recommend this to family and friends. I have already convinced a friend to buy the product for her daughter who is due to start weaning soon. Really nice feeder and has definitely helped us on our weaning journey. My overall experience with the feeder was great. We really enjoyed using it and my daughter ate really well from it. The only issue was trying to fit the bit that pushes the food up after it’s been washed but it isn’t a huge issue, just a bit fiddly to get right. Samantha Friend – Isabella 7 Months

The packaging was nice and the product was lovely and bright. It was a lovely design, very eye catching for both child and parent. The screw parts are a bit fidgety but once you get the hang of it it’s pretty simple to work. It was very easy for baby to hold. My daughter found it very easy to feed from. Food has to be chopped first to fit in the teat. It was great to introduce food to my daughter and prevents chocking. I believe it did help with teething as my daughter likes to chew on the teat even when it’s empty. We would use this to put fruit such as strawberries, bananas, melon blueberries in. It was easy to clean but you need to take it to bits every time. I would use this a few times a week. I used this at home. I liked the fact I can give my baby fruit and know she won’t choke. I would say this is good value for money. I would buy this as it’s a good way to allow baby to try different foods safely. I would recommend for the same reason. I loved this product, I would recommend to others, it’s easy to use, and easy to clean. Baby really enjoys using it. Claire Wilson – Georgia 1 Year

Was impressed, colourful, sturdy and choice of teat size. Liked the colour scheme and the handle for easy grip and especially liked that you can twist to squeeze up the food. This is very easy to use though some of the parts for allowing to twist can be fiddly when washing etc ( had to retrieve from the plug hole a few times). My daughter found this easy to hold. She really enjoys using these if I put a choice of food in front of her she reaches for this first. Easy to put food I this I just chopped the food or squashed in blueberries and gave to her! My daughter is 8mth but 7mth corrected as she was premature. We have been doing spoon and baby led weaning but she has choked (well gagged) on things like blueberries and her pincer grip is just developing. Some fruits are also slippery to hold so using the feeders I am not worried about gagging on blueberries or that she will not be able to grip the food. She can’t tell me if helps with teething so I can only assume she gets food and some gum comfort from these – she chews the handlers as well. We would put in kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, avocado, tinned mandarins, tinned pears into the feeder. I found this easy to clean and used the teat cleaner on my bottle brush. We use every day for fruit with each meal. Well we are stuck at home or Nannas due to covid but if we had been out and about these would be so easy to fill and pop in a cool bag as the teat and food is sealed in by the feeder and the lid. I loved how it caters for 4+ months in teat sizes and that I can twist the base to push fruit up so she gets it all. I think this product offers value for money. It is more expensive than other teat style feeders but the quality is better. Not only are there a choice of teat sizes but the tests are full of holes to allow food through unlike others which have one teat hole. I would buy this. It has been very handy and less messy than just giving her the fruit. I don’t fear her choking when she is using the feeder and because of this I’ve given her fruit which skin and seeds that I would have otherwise not offered yet. I would recommend as it has been a great way for Emmie to be independent and feed herself whilst giving me comfort to know she isn’t going to choke. I really like this product and so does Emmie, it means she gets a taste of fruit at every meal and can be independent and eat it herself instead of having me spoon feed her but I have the comfort of knowing she is ok and not going to choke. She often has this and In the high chair and I’ll potter about around her in the kitchen clearing up while she eats instead of sitting watching her. We have had a really positive experience using the feeders and have been able to offer a wider variety of fruits than I would have done otherwise. Emmie loves her independence and has greatly enjoyed using these! We get all the fruit as we are able to twist up when the teat drops to part full. It’s easy to clean and convenient to carry if you are out and about. It’s been great to let her get on with enjoying fruit and not worrying she will choke. Laura Coyle – Emmie 8 Months
