Baby Products Reviews of Munchkin 2 Pack Fresh Food Feeder, Colors May Vary
Customer Review: Love this product!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have a baby who, already at 7 months, seems to want to do things herself. She tolerates us feeding her with a spoon, but will often grab the spoon away, wanting to feed herself (or chew on the spoon). I had bought a package of these, but was planning on returning it because it was yet another baby "gadget" and I have been getting overwhelmed with baby gadgets. I decided to try it out after all and I am so glad I did! My daughter LOVES feeding herself with this thing. I usually put a peeled piece of apple or slices of avocado and she will sit in her high chair and suck on them for a long time. It's a great activity for her to do while I am cooking dinner. The handle is big so she can easily grab on to it and maneuver it to her mouth. I think it is a great way to help her learn hand-eye coordination too.
I personally haven't had any problems cleaning it. I am not sure what the big deal is.
Customer Review: A must have for babies!!! - My daughter loves them!
Summary: 5 Stars
Especially during the summer time, my baby wanted cold things while teething. However, all of the other products froze her hands and she could not hold on that long - plus mostly no flavor. After seeing another child with one at daycare, I decided to check these feeders out - and once they arrived, WOW! My daughter gets so excited when I get one out, and put a piece of frozen banana, strawberry, peach, etc. inside the mesh compartment. I am not worried about her choking, while enjoying a healthy cold snack that feels great for her gums. Even more, she can hold on to it easily and without the cold. Remember to put on a bib, they can tend to be waved around and rubbed on the outfit. Bananas are one of my daughter's favorites...however, it is the toughest to clean out the mesh part. Peaches are a cinch. I would gladly buy more and encourage others to get these for their little ones!Customer Review: Neat idea, not for fruit however
Summary: 2 Stars
These are a brilliant concept but a poor execution. I bought these for my teething 5 month old, and threw in some banana pieces. Bad idea. These things are impossible to clean, food gets stuck everywhere. I tried cold mango too, same results- 3 times through the dishwasher, soaking and scrubbing cannot remove all the food bits. And I'm not super paranoid about germs, but that just seems unsanitary. Another brand recommended cleaning with warm water, vinegar, and alka seltzer, so I'll be trying that- but in the meantime, will NOT be putting fresh fruit in these.
That being said, I do make and freeze my own baby food, and a cube of that is messy but provides neater cleanup of the product, so it's not a total loss.
Will I buy these for my next baby? God no. Not untill the design is revamped and I don't have to spend hours picking little banana bits out of the seams.

Have you ever want to give your child new food but you are scared that they might choke? Or has your child ever been teething so bad that they're in so much pain and Baby Orajel doesn't help the pain? Well, the Fresh Food Feeder by Munchkin will solve your problem. You can give your fresh frozen fruit or vegetable to try or place ice in it to use for teething. The mesh bag will prevent your baby from taking pieces of food too large where they can choke. You don't have to worry about your child taking the feeder apart too as it's pretty sturdy once you lock the ring to the mesh bag. Why use Baby Orajel when you can use something more healthier or fresher.
The only downside to this product is the cleaning. While it's great for feeding your child, food can get stuck in the mesh holes. It can get a little tricky to clean it out.
Customer Review: Great for introducing foods and for teething babies/toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this for our daughter when she was 8 months old. They had just come out with this brand and it was a lot cheaper than the alternative brand. It is so simple to clean and none of the pieces come apart. The other brand you have to screw together. My daughter bangs it around everywhere and it never pops open. Whatever we're eating we can put in there and she just munches on it with no choking risk at all. And when she's teething I throw some frozen fruit in it and she loves it. It's amazing how much frozen fruit in this thing can stop the screaming of a teething baby. She has teeth now and can't chew it apart, or pull pieces of string off of it or anything; it's very sturdy. Even though she doesn't need it anymore because she eats solids with a fork and spoon now, it was extremely helpful to have and well worth the money.
