Baby Products Reviews of Boon Squirt Baby Food Dispensing Spoon in Orange
Customer Review: If I could give it 10 stars I would!!!! Excellent Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this item at my local baby mega-store when they had just put them out on the sales floor, on a whim. I had just begun feeding my 4 month old baby at the time and was frustrated with how messy it was. The design of this product is brilliant, and what I realized after its first use is that the reason traditional spoons are so messy for feeding a baby is because the underside of a spoon gets as much food on it as the "bowl" side of the spoon, and a baby does not know to use their bottom lip to swipe that food so that it stays in their mouth. With this spoon/device, the orange part is flexible silicone that holds more than 3 fluid ounces of baby food. The clear top screws on once you fill the "handle" with the puree food. At the tip of the clear part is a small well shaped baby spoon that has a hole leading to the inside of the "handle". When you invert the spoon, the food settles down to the clear part of the handle, and with a little squeeze by the adult, the perfect amount of food comes out into the "bowl" of the spoon. NO FOOD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SPOON!!! It has been almost 2 months now, and feeding time is a joy at my home for adults as well as our baby. He honestly eats better because of the easy delivery. Also, since you don't keep dipping a contaminated spoon back into a baby jar, whatever food does not get eaten during feeding time can easily be transferred to a storage container and used at the next feeding. I purchased another one of these spoons so that I can feed an entree and a side item at each feeding. Brilliant Product!!!Customer Review: Not the best design

When I found out about this spoon I was instantly sold. I have more than one baby and let me tell you - the feeding process is crazy and full of crying because I am not fast enough with my spoon skills. I can't seem to get the food into the mouths fast enough and so there is much crying as a result. I thought these spoons would help the situation because I would not need to scoop food from the bowl and then into the mouth - I could instead just hold the spoon there and "squirt". Well not really... The plastic of the spoon is very hard and it seems to hurt their gums. The squirt feature is all done by your hand squeezing so you have to be careful to squeeze just the right amount and at the right time- it is something you have to watch closely - so you can't effectively feed two babies at the same time (not an issue with people that own just one baby). The bowl of the spoon is way too deep and baby does not get all that is in the spoon - it tends to lead to overflow on an unsteady "squirt" and just makes more mess than it is worth. Well it looks like some poeple are giving these spoons a good review so it must work for some. Not for me. Sometimes the old fashioned method is truely the tried and tested way to go - so think hard about what you are spending your money on!Customer Review: Just sorry I didn't think of it....

Currently BPA FREE!!! Bought it on a whim for traveling and subsequently purchased two more to have at home.
PROS:
Less mess hassle! Baby and everyone else come away from a travel or home feeding session with less "food displacement."
Easy to clean
Easy to use
Solid construction
Snap on spoon cover keeps mess contained if you're traveling and can't wash it right away
Works with a variety of food consistencies - including some semi-lumpy Gerber Stage 3 foods
Holds a full Gerber Stage 2 jar of food
CONS:
It would be easier to fill/refill the reservoir if the bottom were not cone shaped, but flat. I have to use a glass cup or something of that nature to hold it upright to spoon thicker puree's into it.
Either I have a porker of a kid, or it doesn't hold enough - usually needs to be refilled.
Spoon is a little more "deep" than the infant spoons you might typically use - holds more food - but can also make it a little harder to get it all off in one toothless "bite"
OVERALL: LOVE this product and am sorry it wasn't around for my firstborn! A little on the "expensive" side for a single spoon but completely worth it in my opinion.
Customer Review: Great idea, but some limitations
Summary: 4 Stars
I read all the reviews on the Boon Spoon and had to buy it for my baby! In fact, I bought two, because I got a good price at the grocery store, then bought another at a consignment sale. The first time we traveled with our son, we took these. I make homemade baby food, and unfortunately, the Boon Spoon does not work well with homemade food. If you make your own food, you know that it's impossible to get the purees completely lump-free (I tried one spoon filled with banana puree, and one with sweet potato puree). Well, the lumps in the food clog in the hole and cause a back-up. I had to keep shaking the food back down to unclog it and squirt more food out with the lumps out of the way. I suppose if you strained the homemade food through a mesh strainer, it would work. The next three times I traveled with my son, I just decided to bring along store-bought food and had no problems with dispensing (my son just doesn't care for the taste of store-bought food very much).
It really is a great product - awesome for traveling, works well, easy to clean, does not leak, and holds a decent amount of food (though having two is better than one).
Customer Review: Well made, easy to use and very functional.

I purchase this spoon on a whim, figuring we might find a use for it from time to time. Little did I know it would become our favorite feeding tool.
1) My daughter happily eats from it. She sometimes has trouble getting all the food out of the bowl of the spoon, but it hasn't prevented her from enjoying the experience.
2) It prevents you from contaminating the remaining food. As my daughter tries new things, it sometimes takes her a meal or five to actually eat even a small jar of the new food. This spoon allows you to feed your child without dipping a spoon into the jar and thus contaminating it.
3) It's easy to store. The snap-on cap over the spoon does a fantastic job of keeping the remaining food in the barrel. We just pop the cap on and store it in the door of our refrigerator.
Just know that you will want more than one. We now have three so we can keep foods rotated throughout the day. It won't work for chunkier purees, but those first foods and smoother foods (applesauce, yogurt, etc) are fantastic in it.
