Baby Products Reviews of Born Free Twin Pack Wide Neck Bottles, 5 Ounce
Customer Review: BPA Free but poor design. Better BPA-free options if you look
Summary: 2 Stars
My wife bought a bunch because they were (for a time) the only BPA-free bottles she found (frankly didn't look that hard)
They are decent bottles yes, but there is this extra pair of pieces which you have to assemble. I don't see that they do anything for reducing swallowed air or anything else, but they're fidgety and just extra pieces to clean.
It might not sound so bad but it more than doubles the amount of work to fill a bottle, and at 3 AM when you have a screaming baby, you don't want to be diddling around with the extra pieces.
BE WARNED - Replacement nipples are $7.50 a pair and they last only a month or two before they need to be replaced (The holes enlarge and let too much flow out) There are MUCH CHEAPER and simpler / better designed bottles out there - you just have to look.
The sippy cups are another story entirely. They are a disaster.
Customer Review: Mediocre bottle
Summary: 3 Stars
Been comparing Avent, Nuby, Medela, Adiri, etc. for our little baby.
Nothing wrong with this bottle, but nothing outstanding either.
Likes:
- Glass. Nice and easy to clean and worry free for me (vs. plastic, even BPA free plastic)
Dislikes:
- So many finicky pieces for no obvious reason. It has that silly slow flow valve, which is 2 piece, requires cleaning and doesn't seem to work any better than the other bottles
- The flow rate is medium, even for the new born. It's not the fastest, but I would like slower, to mimic breast flow.
- Glad to see the volume markings have changed. On the set I have, it is merely part of the glass, no print, and it is very difficult to read if milk has run up the side or if condensation occurs.
Would get again if they could have a less complicated system. The Avent bottles work better and are simpler.
Customer Review: Awesome customer service, Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I rarely write reviews but I had to comment on the fantastic customer service I received from Born Free. Like a lot of mothers, I recently switched from Avent to this BPA-free line of bottles by Born Free. I purchased 3 x 3 packs from a bricks and mortar retailer. The packets contained one venting system and a coupon for two more. The retailer was out of them and I am leaving for a trip at the end of the week. I emailed Born Free customer service. 48 hours later I am holding the vents in my hand, they also sent me some nipples, they overnighted everything (at their expense) so I could have them in time for my trip. I didn't know customer service like this existed any more. Overall, I am delighted with the product- fewer leaks than Avent, no concern about plastics, and my one year old took to the bottles like a duck to water. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Not too bad!
Summary: 4 Stars
I traded in my Avent bottles for Born Free after the huge BPA news stories. I don't think I would have paid for them if I had to buy them all brand new at once, but since I was getting credit, I decided to try them.
I don't think the one extra valve piece is really that big of a deal - they're still less complicated than Dr. Brown's! I haven't had any leaking problems or melting problems (even in the dishwasher). I did have one crack when my daughter dropped it on a tile floor. I was lucky enough to be able to exchange it, but I would like them to be a little more sturdy -- especially now that my daughter is old enough to throw things she doesn't want! :)
Overall, I'm happy I made the decision to switch, and they've worked fine for our family. But $8-$10 a bottle? Seriously?
Customer Review: Fantastic Bottles
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these bottles, kind of begrudingly. I had tons of AVENT bottles left over from my son when he was a baby just 2 years ago, but with all the press over the danger of BPA bottles, I decided I should not risk it and go with new ones. We had sterilized and microwaved our AVENT bottles A LOT and even though they weren't cloudy, I would never forgive myself if my daughter ended up with problems. So, I bought a whole set of these Born Free bottles. So glad I did. The bottles have a unique air vent system and my daughter has literally had very little gas. We even find it hard to get her to burp after feeding. They seem to be a much better product and something in the unique vent system helps her remain comfortable and happy after eating. She is six weeks old now and doing great!
