Description of 3 - in - 1 Feeding OrganizerBabies come with a lot of things - for example 1 bottle can have 4 or more pieces to store until use. Multiply that times a minimum of 6 and you have 2 dozen pieces to put away - somewhere! This handy organizer keeps all of baby's feeding needs in one convenient place, so you'll never be looking frantically for a bottle cap when you're trying to get out the door on the way to work. Two dishwasher safe baskets hold nipples, rings and pacifiers. Snap-on lids store neatly, so they are ready when you need them. A pull-out lazy susan stores bottles, snack cups, sippy cups, etc. And the pull-down drying rack pulls out so you can dry bottles and accessories and fold it back up when they're done. A great time and space saver - it can even be mounted under a cabinet to save even more space. Bottles, cups, and other feeding supplies for babies and toddlers are awkward to store. This triple-duty storage unit solves the problem. It features a removable pull-out turntable with a sliding dust cover and storage inside for seven bottles or cups. In addition, there are two pull-out baskets, perfect for storing small items like nipples, bottle caps, pacifiers, and--as baby grows--snack cups and toddler-size utensils. We found the bottom drawer easy to pull out; the top one tended to stick. Attach the snap-on lid, and either basket can go in the dishwasher. Finally, five flip-down pegs on the side of the unit make an instant drying rack and fold flush when not in use. The entire unit is fairly large--just over a foot long and about 9 inches deep and tall--but the brackets and screws included allow it to be mounted under a cabinet to save counter space. --Elisabeth Fredrickson
Baby Products Reviews of 3 - in - 1 Feeding OrganizerCustomer Review: Somewhat Useful, Could Be Better Designed Summary: 3 Stars
I used this for my first child's bottles. Although it was good to have a place to store bottles instead of having them in the dish drainer or all over the counter, it doesn't hold very many. Another disadvantage is that if there is any moisture left in the bottle when placed inside the round section with the sliding door, the moisture will not dry out well, especially with the door closed. It's a bit large for a very small kitchen. I never used the under cabinet mount, which might work nicely. I had trouble using the baskets in the dishwasher. The force of the water would frequently cause the top to come off and then out came the rings and nipples into the dishwasher. I even lost a few nipples that fell to the bottom of the dishwasher and got burned on the heating element. I ended up using the basket as storage for clean nipples and rings, and buying separate baskets for the dishwasher that lock the nipples in place. I am now expecting my second child and looking for an organizer. I got rid of this one and probably won't replace it with one like it again. Unfortunately, there aren't many drying racks/bottle organizers out there. I would like to find one that is more open, holds more, and maybe takes up less space. One final note, I used the skinny bottles then. I don't think it would work well with wider bottles, like Avent, Elan, etc. which I am going to use now. I had a few playtex and healthflow angled bottles, and found the storage area didn't work great with them either. Still, I had a very small kitchen and it was at least "something" to try to keep things contained and organized in one spot that is easily accessible.
