Avent Triumph With Style Over Substance

Advantages: Looks good. Does what it says on the tin.
Disadvantages: Not practical. Missing too many essential features.

...could do without was the Avent Express Babyfood and Bottle Warmer. It’s not that the product is a bad idea, its just that it is limited in its application and not very well thought through. WHAT IS IT? Simply put, at its heart, it’s a white mains powered open “kettle” with a heating element which allows you to gradually warm food and milk. The receptacle accepts most brands and makes of baby bottle, but it is specifically engineered to be compatible ...
...cynical, I would say that Avent saved the best features (such as the ones missing from this basic version) for its top end “IQ” bottle warmer, which retails at £39.99 (currently £29.99 on Amazon). VERDICT The Avent Bottle Warmer seemed like a great idea at the time, but our actual experience differed markedly from our expectations. It was not nearly as useful as we anticipated for the reasons stated above, and as such, it definitely fit into ...

Review of Avent Express Bottle & Babyfood Warmer

Avent Bottles

Advantages: Look like a bottle
Disadvantages: Can leak

In my opinion Avent bottles look like a bottle should and have excellent wear and tear value. I prefer the look of the Avent bottle compare to the tommie tippie (closer to nature) bottles as the tommie tippie teats look too natural and I am sure thats the point but I like a bottle to look like a bottle. The Avent bottle wash well in the dishwasher, however you might not want to wash them with plates or saucepans that have just cooked Bolognese or ...
...milk all over the place. These bottle also work really well with the Avent pump. Just screw on and go. The teats also come in different sizes for thicker liquids or hungrier babies. These are not cheap at around £4.50 for two, but they really do work and last. ...

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

Avent powder dispenser - leaky material!

Advantages: Great idea, compact, 3 compartments
Disadvantages: Leaks and powder spills over between compartments

I was given this as a gift, I would not have bought it myself as I was not happy spending this amount of money on something which I could get cheaper if I bought a supermarket brand. It is a great idea and works well with the formula. Only problem with this was that the formula sometimes didn't all come out and the different sections leaked a little across, so there wasn't always an accurate amount of fomula in the bottle. The insert also says ...
...later date once baby is off the bottle and no longer needing formula. I tried this and have to recommend NOT to do this. It is horribly leaky! I have never microwaved or washed this in a dishwasher as I don't have one, so this has only been washed in warm soapy water, so I know it hasn't warped in any way. While I would have another formula dispenser if I were to have another baby, I wouldn't choose this brand again so therefore do not recommend ...

...the baby. Airflex is what Avent call this system. A pack of soothers (0-3 months) is included and a bottle cleaning brush. Large bottles are 9oz and small bottle are 4oz.

Review of Avent Newborn Starter Set

ThermaBag-the handy way to keep things warm or cold.

Advantages: slim, lightweight and keeps things warm or cold for four hours
Disadvantages: none

...The bag can hold two Avent bottles, two magic cups or four VIA cups which I think is good as the bag is compact. The colours available are red, blue and black. Our bag is really handy and has been since my son was born. We first used it to keep his milk cool. When we go out now I use the bag for things like yoghurts and snacks instead of milk. I also like the fact that the bag is not bulky and fits easily into my sons changing bag and doesnt get ...
