Baby Products Reviews of Playtex BPA Free VentAire ADVANCED Wide Bottles 9 oz - 3 Pack (Colors Vary)
Customer Review: 3 Pack 6 oz. VentAire Natural Shape Bottles
Summary: 4 Stars
I tryed Dr. Brownes bottles because of all the five star reviews but I found the Playtex VentAire to work even better on gas and colic for my newborn. I just wish you could put these bottles in a bottle warmer (which you cant.) I have to take the time to heat them on the stove top which is hard when you have a hungry baby. Other than that, great bottle!Customer Review: Easy to clean?
Summary: 1 Stars
I was surprised that so many people said that this bottle is easy to clean. I guess it depends on how you look at it. Since you can take the bottom off, you can get at every nook and cranny from both sides, so you can clean it very throughly. However, there are a lot of little parts to clean, and a relatively large number of nooks and crannys.
We adopted our son from Korea, and he came with two bottles. They are much better designed than this one. There are no sharp corners for food to get trapped in, and the screw threads don't indent on the inside of the bottle to keep food out of there. The VentAire is much harder to clean by comparison, even if you can take the bottom off.
It takes a fair amount of suction to draw air through the valves insert. As a consequence, I don't think the feature is particularly useful. A lot of the air ends up getting into the bottle through the nipple just as it would in a basic bottle design. My son doesn't spit up any less with these bottles than he does with other ones.
THese bottles will also leak if you don't screw the bottoms on correctly. It's not that hard to do, but it does happen occasionally.
If I had it to do over again, I'd start with a simpler bottle.
Customer Review: Not good for new or tired parents
Summary: 2 Stars
HUGE CON - SOOO many pieces (6) to wash per bottle!
HUGE CON #2 - Once they are washed they have to be COMPLETELY dry to assemble unless leaks don't bother you. Putting them together at 2 and then again at 4 in the morning is HORRIBLE!
HUGE CON #3 - Your baby will throw up unless you burp every tiny air pocket out. They don't take the air out any more then any other hard plastic bottle (that was the whole point wasn't it?)
HUGE CON #4 - These are about as expensive as bottles get
After a month of problems with these bottles we bought the playtex bag bottles and have NEVER looked back. My son would throw up all over with the Ventaire. I thought that was normal for babies. Once we switched to the bag bottles by playtex things changed dramatically. No throwing up! No leaks! No sleepy eyed assembly at 2am because the disks still weren't dry when I went to bed. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend the bag type over ANY other. If you are worried about the cost of the bags use the store brands. I've only used the playtex bags once before I saw you could use others. two boxes have lasted me 4 months. I will never use another type of bottle.
Customer Review: HORRIBLE
Summary: 1 Stars
The last thing any new parent needs is a hassle. These bottles are the hardest thing to not only put together EVERY time but worse to clean(forget sanitizing)!!
We would have to unscrew the bottom to keep the nipple from collapsing and pray our lil guy did not hit the bottle and spill it.The only thing positive about this bottle is the story I get to tell about the time the bottom plastic piece was sucked in by my lil guy creating a pop so loud that I flew up in the air pouring formula all over us. If we only had the camera out.I can laugh now.
Aventi bottles work pretty well.
Customer Review: best bottles out there!
Summary: 5 Stars
all three of my kids (who are now toddlers!) LOVED these bottles. we experimented with bottles/nipples with each baby - and every time - this bottle was best! definitely worth the money!.......and the bottles last a long time --- just replace the nipples - it's worth the money!
