Best baby product purchased ever

Love this product. Tried using it for smoothie, pasta, porridge… my 15m loved it every time. Sometimes when my son is not eating well, I’ll blend some meat, veggies and pasta/rice with sauce and put into the bottle for him. That way even when he isn’t eating well I can make sure he still gets the nutrients he needs for his body. It’s simply a life saver. Also saves the mess when eating fruits like red dragonfruits, cherries, etc. I also bought one for myself so we can enjoy the smoothie together.

Best invention EVER!

Who ever came up with this device is my hero!I got this to pop smoothies in for my fussy eater.She'll eat pretty much anything out of a sucky pouch but refuses to eat veges as they are.The reusable pouches are too small so I thought I'll try Subo the Food Bottle as the 250ml is the perfect volume.My girl will gobble up a Berry & Banana (with spinach & carrot added) quite quickly out of this guy! And with very little mess!I love that it completely comes apart for each cleaning and can go in the dishwasher!!Would love one a wee bit bigger... maybe 350ml

Came back for more

4.5 starsI bought 2 after new years and then 4 more during the end of financial year sales. My son lives his and hubby and I like to use them for yoghurt on the go. Great for a snack when making a trip to town or on a road trip. They aren't no mess, but they definitely decrease the mess compared to feeding a bub or toddler with a pouch or cup. My son wishes there was a yellow one, as that's his favourite colour. I think a sunflower or burnt yellow would be stunning. We also wish there was a larger size option, as they do leave adults and big kids looking for more (smooting, etc), which isn't the best on the go. Only other suggestions would be to put the valve/star cut plastic at the top of the straw,not the bottom to try reduce drips, as smooth, etc remains there ... More4.5 starsI bought 2 after new years and then 4 more during the end of financial year sales.

Does what it says on the label which is a pleasant surprise these days

The Subo works great.All parts feel high quality. It completely pulls apart for cleaning which is super easy. Relatively mess free, unless your bub likes to constantly stick their finger in the spout whilst drinking, like mine does. The only thing i could even come close to faulting is that the valve on the bottom can get stuck closed after cleaning however this just requires a quick squeeze during assembly to ensure it is not stuck closed. Also, the spout on the top is a tight fit when reassembling after cleaning which may result in the rubber seal tearing as it gets older, but this merely speculation and i could be completely wrong, only time will tell.Great product and great customer support. I will buy again if i find myself needing more than the two that i ... MoreThe Subo works great.All parts feel high quality. It completely pulls apart for cleaning which is super easy.

Great for toddlers on the go

I was looking for larger pouches for my toddler for yoghurt when I found this. I also have a 6m old that I will start on solids so I thought this may be a good option to have prepared food on the go mess free. I’m not 100% sure how it works but as they suck the valve pushes the food - has been great for my toddler! She get a decent amount of yoghurt and since the tube is hard it doesn’t get squished on the go. Haven’t tried with my 6m old yet but I was pleasantly surprised. Super easy to clean and the valve actually pushes all the food across without wastage so I was impressed.

Not just for babies

Miss 7 is a huge yoghurt eater, but i was either spending a fortune on pouches from the supermarket or struggling with refillable pouches.Also she wanted specific brands and/or characters that were not always budget friendly.When she started bringing them home uneaten, I knew I had to find a solution.I saw a review for the Subo for smoothies for toddlers and though I might give it a go for yoghurt.It has been a game changer, Miss 7 loves having her yoghurt in the Subo, it also fits in the bBox whole foods lunch box which we love. We have even used it for her banana and weetbix on the days that she has early morning Dance training, making it perfect for the car. No mess!!

Refuses the bottle... Loves her Subo!

My bub was a premmie and is still struggling big time with weight gain. She wouldn't take a bottle after 2 months old and only wants breastmilk or purees. Using the Subo has been amazing, is so easy to add extra calories and her special diets to her Subo and she just gobbles it up. She can even self feed with it at 6 months. Any of the negative reviews about functionality just haven't read the documentation. If it's hard to suck, check the value at the bottom. I just push the platform to the bottom, full it up to whatever level, then push the platform up with the bottom off and it easily slides up. If you need more room you just push it down from the top in the same way (I use a chopstick if it's already full), then reattach the base and the top and you are ready to ... MoreMy bub was a premmie and is still struggling big time with weight gain.

Wanted to love it

I really wanted to love these, but I don’t find them a lot better than silicone reusable pouches as yet. If dropped from height (ie high chair) it spurts even thick-ish liquid from one side of the room to the other. I have randomly found dots of puree on walls all over the living room. My silicone reusable pouches do not travel that far (they probably absorb the shock better)! Yet to be seen whether it performs better on the floor where my LO cannot drop it, but I’d prefer to have him in the high chair for meals. Plus side - it’s relatively easy for him to use.
