Reviews
thinkbaby plastic bottle

Materials: PES plastic and silicone
Components: Bottle, collar, nipple with built-in vent in one of three flow stages.
Price: $17 for two
Dishwasher safe? Top rack.
Observations: Indented sides make it easy and fun for babies to feed themselves, and bottles are lightweight and leak-resistant, although they will leak liquid if held upside down.
The nipples are very soft and pliant, with a built-in anti-colic device basically looks like a tiny silicone pipette attached to its base. Packaging is recycled and recyclable. The company also offers a Trainer Cup and two very sexy stainless-steel sports bottles so the whole family can match. Endorsed by Healthy Child Healthy World.
Ratings: Ease of Use and Care: 9. Durability: 8. Eye Appeal: 8. Total points: 25/30. [Excerpted from this review.]
