Baby Products Reviews of Born Free Twin Pack Wide Neck Bottles, 5 Ounce
Customer Review: higly overrated
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had these bottles for almost a year now and know everything about them.
- They are solidly constructed of good materials and last
- They are annoying clean because they have five parts and are difficult to disassemble.
- They are annoying to assemble because they have five parts, and if you don't take care putting the bottle together just so...
- They LEAK!
If you don't get everything *just right* then the bottles LEAK. They leak upside down on the baby, right side up to leave rings on tables, and in general are just a total mess. Just think of how often you're going to be holding the baby in one hand and trying to assemble the bottle with the other hand, at 2am in the dark of night, with no sleep for the past week.
Customer Review: BPA-free, but little else to recommend it
Summary: 3 Stars
Yes, it is BPA free, one of only two plastic bottles on the market we've found as of today. [The other is ones made by Medela.] But that's about all these bottles have going for them.
* The are expensive, as everyone else also noted.
* They are a pain to clean. It comes apart into 5 parts that need to be cleaned.
* I've heard they are not microwave safe (using the microwave sterilizer bags).
* The "anti-gas" feature doesn't work as well as other brands'.
* It stains easily, for example by iron supplements.
* There is no bent version.
Would I buy them again? Yes, as they are still the best BPA-free bottles available now. But I look forward to other companies coming out with better designs soon!
Customer Review: love them!

i love my born free bottles! i had dr browns before because of the gassiness, but when i found out these were BPA free and Dr Browns didnt have any at the time, i made the switch. When i wrote DR Browns a letter they basically told me that the BPA thing was overblown and had no backing to it. Then why are you making bpa-free bottles now? Anyway my baby has been less gassy since we switched to these and i like that i am doing something good for him. Also they are easier to clean than the Dr. Browns. They always had an orange residue left on the vent. Never had that problem with these bottles. They are worth the $$. He loves to hold them himself too, even though they are wider, he is getting the hang of it, although mommy still holds onto the ends to keep it straight!Customer Review: Durability a disappoitment
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought a bunch of bottles and sippy cups from this company due to our concerns about the potentially harmful chemicals found in ordinary bottles. After less than two months many of the bottles have broken or are useless due to ripped nipples. If a toddler drops a full or partially full bottle/sippy, particularly from the height of being held by a standing adult, you can count on the bottle/sippy cracking open. Not only do the bottles crack easily, but the bottle nipples rip easily too. This makes the rest of the unit useless until you spend more money and time replacing the nipple. These bottles are probably fine for infants, but they have not endured the test of toddlers in my house. They do not demonstrate the durability of the standard plastic.
Customer Review: Just okay, not great.

For those wanting to purchase BPA-free bottles, there don't seem to be many choices out there. The MAM bottles are another, less expensive choice. These bottles have a more complicated design, so they are kind of a pain to clean. The challenge I have with them is in using powdered formula. I always measure the formula into the bottle, add the water and then shake, and these bottles aren't well suited for this method because they tend to leak if you use a faster nipple. A level 1 probably won't do this because the hole is so tiny. These bottles also had a strange smell, even after repeated washing. The BornFree nipples are ridiculously expensive. The MAM nipples, as well as Dr. Brown's work with these bottles and they are less expensive.
