On-the-Go Bottle Warmer

While the concept overall seems like a good idea, it is not for everyone. If your life is hectic and/or disorganized (like me!), this is not for you, because you need to make sure to boil water and then place the warmer in for 15 minutes (which means remembering to start the whole process 20-30 minutes before you leave the house).

The other big thing that I didn't see in any of the reviews was that this does not work for Avent bottles. I tried with a 4 oz bottle but the warmer was too small and there was no way to fit the bottle and warmer in the bag.

I got this warmer and LOVE IT! It is great because it never fails that my son's feeding schedule dictated that he eat at the doctor's office or at church (before he was old enough to go to the nursery). I would take a bottle out of the fridge and put it in and start the heating process as soon as we arrived (since I knew my son would want to eat within 20-40 minutes). It's great because then if he only eats about half, the warmer keeps it warm for hours and he can finish what's left maybe a half-an-hour later (I don't like to let it sit warm for more than an hour after he starts eating...). This is good also if my son is not ready to eat when expected.
It's true that it can be touchy and sometimes start when getting bumped around in the diaper bag, but since it keeps the bottle warm for so long (even disposible bottles), I don't mind one bit. Definitely worth the money and easier to deal with than the car plug-in varieties.

This warmer is great! We've been using it for several months now. While it is a little of a hassle to boil it to "reset", it beats having to hunt down a plug or sit in the car waiting for a traditional warmer to heat the bottle. If we know the approximate time of feeding, give or take 30 minutes, we start warming the bottle ahead of time. It stays warm for hours. Just wish it came in a 2-pack for longer trips.

I appreciate the fact that it is 'on the go'... Unfortunately, it is a pain to have to boil the warmer before using it. Also, it only fits 4 oz. bottles, 8 oz. bottles stick out of the top! I have found that if I use this product along with a thermal pouch, it will keep a bottle warm for several hours, especially if I use it straight from the boiling water. I do have a problem with it turning itself 'on' by itself before I am ready for it to heat up. The stick that you bend must be pretty sensitive to every bump. In all, it is not a bad product for the money...

I've used this mainly for warming baby food(stage 3). It has worked great since I know when my child's mealtime is going to start. I just activate the warmer with the baby food jar wrapped in it about 15-20 minutes in advance, then it's nice and warm when mealtime begins. Sure you could immerse it in a cup of hot water but I didn't want to rely on how fast the food server can come back with it after requesting it at the restaurant. Just don't let the warming pack freeze because mine broke after I left it in the car overnight on a really cold night(less than 20F).
