I would be cautions about using this product too often because its efficiency and ease of use may make your child dependent on suction to feed themselves. My baby is 8 mo old and i didn't bother with the smaller straw, i just ordered the standard 2 y+ spout and he's fine with it. There is obviously a dead volume left over after each feed so you might want to scoop that out with a spoon at the end if the puree is precious, but it's a much smaller dead volume than in other products. The platform moves great and the bottle is easy to grasp for little hands. I'll be buying this as a gift for sure! Works exactly as advertised and speeds things up significantly.
Such a great product! We had a few issues with our platform on one of our bottles but the customer service was incredible and Becky was so helpful. Can’t rave enough about how much easier these bottles make feeding time for my 18 month old. My 4 year old loves them too for smoothies!
Love the design and that there's so much less mess! It's reusable and easy to wash, mine's new so I can't speak to durability long term but it has been thrown around and has held up thus far!
We use this bottle for mostly smoothies or yogurt drinks for my toddler (3 year old). He uses the larger spout so it is easy to drink and it works wonderfully. The only thing is the lid is a little hard for him to get off and when there is a smoothie in it, it sprays a little when he takes the lid off. We purposely got it for him to use at preschool. Thats the only thing that has been a challenge. Im not sure we would have bought it if we knew how difficult it was. But otherwise, we love it.
My baby loves smoothies in his Subo and I love the ability to make him quick healthy meals
We live ours! Bought all 4 grandchildren one and the 6 year old enjoys it as much as the 6 month old.
For road trips, make something a little thicker if you’re worried about spills (our go to is oatmeal and applesauce i blend up a bit) but even just greek yoghurt works great.
the one year old loves blended veg,
Great way to give them healthy food on the go we make ourselves.
I resisted buying this for months because of the price. I kept telling myself my daughter would grow teeth so it wouldn't be worth it. Well, 13 months arrived and we were going on a trip with no teeth and a picky eater who refuses anything that isn't squisy (aka: messy) or highly processed. So I bought this and it's been a total game changer. I can make my own purees and mix them with yogurt for her when we're on the go. She loves it, and I no longer need to decide between healthy and tidy for meals. Thank you Subo!
Love it, before getting the funnel. Filling up the bottles took longer but this makes it super quick and easy. Will definitely recommend.
Wanted to love these more than I do. But I do like them. I find the little valve slips down and doesn’t always follow the food up, creating air space so my little one can’t get the food.
Also if it is a thinner substance, it can drip out if it’s on its side or upside down.
Love the handles so my little one can do it himself.
It’s great that the platform pushed the smoothie up as my child drinks it. Very handy and she loves it, but, I would love a larger option for the cup. She sucked it back pretty fast and drank the second one that I had poured myself. She’s about to turn 2.
I was hesitant to get this because my 6 month old baby wasn’t interested in eating from anything but a metal spoon. He figured it out pretty quickly and gets excited when he sees me filling it up. It’s far from mess-free, but much more convenient than feeding him every bite, and once he gets the hang of it and doesn’t suck more into his mouth than he can swallow, I’m sure it will be even better.
My dogs aren’t impressed that their main source of human food isn’t giving them as much.
I am super disappointed with this purchase, it is sot spilled proof at all -the spout fills with product so if turned around it spills everywhere and it just leaks constantly if not straight up. Did not meet our expectations at all esp for the price and we got the 3 pack thinking we'd love it, absolutely would try1 before you buy 3!
I purchased a set of 2 subo bottles with one handle attachment. These bottles are a wonderful way to easily feed your own nutritious food to your babies and toddlers. My 11 month old grandson fed himself a yogurt wheatabix and applesauce smoothie without any problem - for busy parents on the go, it’s the greatest! While the components seem complicated at first - they wash up and reassemble with ease. I definitely recommend the subo bottles!
This is the best self feeding product I’ve ever had for my daughter she absolutely loves it
I’m so disappointed, the slider won’t stay up when my daughter stops sucking. It just slips all the way to the bottom even when I’ve trouble shooted and pinched the valve, made sure it was dry, clean, etc
This thing was way too expensive to have it not function properly.
Obsessed with these! Baby has been refusing a bottle since about 4 mo, tried everything under the sun and ordered these JUST in time. She’s almost 9 mo now and loves them and though I can’t make her like formula, I can mix the formula in with other things and this is the greatest way to serve it to her! Forever thankful I found subo products. Now I can rest easy knowing my baby is getting all the nutrients she needs 🫶🏻
I have some refillable silicone pouches but the issue always is my daughter squeezing them all over herself in the stroller or car seat.
This is such a great mess free alternative and I can add in hemp heart or other seeds for fibre which I love.
I'm always skeptical, and the price seemed a little steep, but this bottle has really lived up to its promises. Works a treat for smoothies, oatmeal, thick soups etc for my 11mo. It's not completely mess-free, because babies are geniuses when it comes to mess-making, but he can't squeeze anything out and it doesn't spill when he drops it on the floor (a tiny bit does squeeze out if it lands directly on the spout, but it would have to be truly miraculous not to). I'm wishing I had got the handle as well so he could hold it up better himself, but because of the mechanism it also doesn't actually have to be held up to function, as long as he gets his mouth on the spout it's good to go!
This product is amazing! Makes feeding our son soo much easier, especially on the go!
Great for smoothies. My 10 month old is soo messy with purées. I can now bring him out without or to peoples houses and have no mess!
I gave 4 stars ⭐️ cause my only complaint is he figured out how to stick his fingers in the larger nipple and make a mess. As well if he drops the bottle/shakes it the excess smoothie comes out. Maybe make the nipple shorter? Or the area that smoothie can easily sit be less?
The handles are doing the trick to make grasping and holding this drink container easier for the little hands on my caseload. I’ve tried them with 8-9 month olds with success. Great products!
The sender is very difficult, I've called several times to change my PO box to a physical address/drop off UPS location and still sending it back to sender. Wish I had a product to review even though they already took my money...
I can finally give my 16 month old smoothies without it becoming a massive mess each time!
