Independence - The No Squeeze, No Mess, self feeding utensil for baby food pouches. [2 Pack], Model: 852571005003, Baby & Child Shop

This pouch holder is exactly what I have been looking for. My grand daughter is 15 months old and had become so adept at finger painting, feeding the dog, and just making a mess with the pouch feeders that we had quit buying them. We were so excited when we saw these. They are perfect, on long drives, with babysitters, in the back pack, at a picnic or the beach, anytime you need to feed her and lack the high chair, time or the kitchen to prepare a meal. This device is PERFECT. Easy to install the pouch, easy to secure, baby cannot open it, and she easily empties the pouch with no assistance. It's lightweight, well made, easy for the child to hold, no sharp edges etc. Doesn't break or pop open if she throws it. If she drops it in the sand you just clean it off and hand it back to her. It's EASY to wash and store. This is a great device that is safe for your baby and a stress reducer for you. Instead of "fillers" you might use to get her to a meal time or place, you can give a healthy fruit or veggie pouch and be far better off. We couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.

Our twins love to eat their fruit pouches, but they also love to squeeze them and make a real mess. I was skeptical about this product at first, but since there are 2 of them in a package I decided to give it a try. These are great!! Our girls get to enjoy their pouches without all the mess after. Great design that is easy to open and add a pouch to, but our girls can't get them open. The pouches fit snugly and are easy to put in and take out. The straw part of the pouch sticks out far enough that our girls can easily suck the contents out with ease. The various pouches fit well into the EasyPouch and it makes travel much easier. This is a great product and I will definitely recommend it to other parents!!

Like every parent of an infant or toddler, I am desperately trying to get work done while caring for my daughter and this seemed like a good way to get food into her and keep her busy while I can get chores done. For the most part, this works. I also bought the little twist on straw tops so she would have a longer straw to use. I haven't had any problem putting all brands of pouches in here. Yes, some of them you have to fold a little, but they work.My daughter is 10 months old and she can use these mostly effectively. However, if you think there isn't going to be any mess, you're mistaken. If you turn the pouch holder upside down and shake just a little, you get a really nice splatter of food. I most often use these when I take her out with me to weed the garden or do other outside chores, so I just expect her to be filthy anyway with dirt and a little splattered food just adds to the mess. I would not trust using these if I really expected her to stay clean. Adding the twist on straw makes it less messy, but also means she has to work harder to get the food out, and so sometimes just gives up. I expect when she gets a little older I may use the straws more.She does quite like being able to hold her own food, which is something I certainly won't let her do with a stand alone pouch since it would immediately be all over her.They seem pretty durable. So far mine have been thrown around quite a bit and are still in good shape. Overall I'd recommend this product, but just be aware that this is not going to solve the whole problem of food mess.

The media could not be loaded. Great idea for a product. Helps to prevent messes and let your child eat from a pouch independently from early on. You can place a prefilled store bought or the fill it yourself disposable and reusable puree food pouches into this plastic case and then snap it closed. Toddler can then hold the case and suck the babyfood from the pouch. The case prevents the toddler from accidentally OR intentionally squeezeing food everywhere. Pretty early on my son was able to hold this device and feed himself. One complaint is that this specific case is way to easy to be opened by even the youngest of eaters. With just a little curiosity this device becomes pointless. My son is the inspector or everything and of course he got it open 3 or 4 times out of like the 15 times i used it. Once your kid knows they can open it then that's the first task they completewhen you hand it over. Id get him distracted eating before i turned my head haha. I guess you could tape it or something. It did still help if I were holding him and the food. It would atleast prevent him from making me squeeze too much or him squeeze the bottom of the pouch. Second complaint is that it's kinda flimsy. I like that it decreases the bulk compared to other cases but I think I could Crack it in half if I squeezed it, which is what alot of tots will probably try to do. We only ended up using this a couple times before I purchased some silicone mouth pieces. This leads to my last "complaint." When I first introduced puree pouches was usually outside of the home and I wouldn't something preservable and easy. So I would of course hold him and squeeze a little in his mouth. So of course they wanna do thing independently and I purchased these cases. So he would get frustrated because he needed to learn to suck like a straw and we hadn't done that yet. I would turn it upside down and get the food right to the tip for him and even held it like a bottle in hope he might suck on it and realize. He did catch on to that pretty quick but when he stopped sucking and sat the case down or just held it upright the food would slide back down to the bottom so when he went to try it again of course after 2 or 3 sucks of air he would get mad and throw it lol. I tried to encourage him to keep sucking so he'd realize it actually wasn't that far from his mouth but he would get frustrated quick still. So I would have to flip it myself like a bottle of conditioner and get the food to the opening and put it upside down like a bottle in his mouth until he started sucking. So if your child is use to you squeezing the pouch or does not yet know how to use a straw just be mindful.I ended up buying the choomee silicone mouthpieces thinking that would encourage him to at least suck on it more like a bottle or sippy cup. Well to my surprise the mouthpieces were all I needed! They addressed all issues and concerns and doubled as a lid. I was unaware that the mouthpieces I bought didn't let food be pushed out. Idk how to explain it other than I squeezed the heck out of that thing and not a drop of food came out. Also when I personally sucked on it the food came out with no more effort than a bottle or sippy. Also if you pinch open the mouthpiece you can squeeze the air out and the let go of the mouthpiece and the food does still spread down some but the food is there when the tot goes to eat. And yes he immediately started sucking on it when I handed it to him so the silicone helped.I've just decided to start posting reviews to products I purchase and trial. Maybe I can figure out a way to condense my reviews down some but still keep all the little details in. I know I appreciate them when I'm researching products. So please like to let me know if this is the kind of info your looking for!So that's my experience. I hope this helps someone and good luck with your food journey.PS. Don't be scared go have fun and make messes with food still!
