May be great, but AWFUL for GERDLINGS
My title says it all. Don't get this if your little one has GERD. The angle is terrible. My little one, who is a silent refluxer=no spit ups, vomited all over herself w/i the first 20 minutes in the seat. I knew the angle was off by looking at the seat, but thought I'd try anyway, so upset with myself for putting my little one through it. NOT GERD FRIENDLY and I am out 5.00 (since I obviously can't return it due to the vomit) and am off to find a new seat.

Disappointed
I read all the review on amazon and chose to get this carseat anyway. I am bummed on 2 points. The first point is how hard it is to get all the padding off! This is our 5th carseat with our children and it takes me more than 10 minutes to get all the padding off! The second point, which, unfortunately, was one of the major selling points for us is the recline. It barely reclines! Airline seats recline more. Such a bummer. I should have gotten another First Years True Fit, which I am very happy with.

A great carseat, I own 2!
I recently purchased my second Nautilus because I was so happy with the one I bought for my daughter about a year ago. This carseat is the last one you will need to buy once your child is ready to be forward-facing. Because of it's high top slots, my very tall daughter is able to remain in a 5-point harness much longer than most carseats of compairable price. Other carseats with high top slots are much more expensive. I also love that it converts to a high-back booster, and a backless booster if needed.

When I bought my first Nautilus about a year ago, it seemed to take quite a long time to set up, but they have improved this, and now you can be ready to install in the car in just a few minutes!

For the price, you can't beat this carseat. Just remember, this is a forward facing carseat, so your child must be (at minimum) 1 year old and 20 pounds.

Great car seat
We love this car seat and this is the second we have bought as we now have one in each car. It adjusts easily, the straps are easy to use and it is great that it will last until our son is 10 if we want to use it that long. The cup holder on the new one is deeper too which is a good idea. We just wish they'd put a cup holder on each side so you could have snacks in one and a drink in the other.

Struggle with unbuckling
I am not happy with the buckle. It pushes down, not in. It is really hard to get a grip on it. I struggle almost every time I try to release my child. It worries me that it might be an emergency. Plus, I have an infant. Sometimes I cannot use two hands! Thinking about returning it.

A must-have item
This is one of the best things we were given for our baby. He was in the NICU for an extended period of time and has to have his formula warmed just right, and this product gets it right each time with the bottles we use. We did notice that it warms different bottles differently - Gerber bottles don't warm as well, for instance - but it works great with the Especially For Baby bottles that we picked up at Babies 'R Us. I have seen overheating occasionally but only if we go over the recommended water amount in the warmer. I wouldn't be able to do without this item. Definitely a must-have for anyone who values their time, especially for those middle-of-the-night feeds.

not for everybody
Useless for refrigerated bottles.But excellent for milk already at room temp....Boils 4 ozs in 2 mins.

don't gave that they offered
I selected one star because I can't select a worse option...

The color of the product isn't the same, and the design is totally diferent too.

I'm disappointed with all the product.

It was a real waste of money

A bit to learn, but the best out there
My wife and I pretty much bought into the Avent kit, including the Express warmer. While the Express isn't a bad warmer, I found it to be an inefficient one. However, on a trip to my in-laws, we needed a warmer there and decided to get an inexpensive one for the time we would be there, enter the First Years Quick Serve bottle warmer. For that brief point that we were there, gone were the days of overflowing the warmer with water in a late night/early morning daze. It really is a fantastic warmer, and takes anywhere from less than half to third less water than the express required and warmed the bottles in less time.

Having sung the praises, I will issue a mild warning. The Quick Serve, much like a new born, requires a little patience and common sense to figure out. Getting the water measurements right is a little trial and error, but we managed to have the formula figured within the first few uses. The chart it comes with was a great starting point, and with only minor tweaking we had our own formula for the bottles we used. A little more water for the bottle out of the fridge, and we of course increased the amoutn of water when we upped our son to 9oz from 4oz.

I have seen complaints that it overheats bags or pouches, but that is to be expected, as the thermodynamics of a plastic bag will allow for greater heat transfer than with a bottle. We don't use bags/pouches, and do not know if this device is recomended for warming them, but if it does, I would again think it is a matter of tweaking the formula.

Inexpensive, fast, water efficient, and easy to use, I highly recomend this warmer and I am anxious to swap out my Express with the Quick Serve, as soon as I can at home.

A must have for new-born's parents if mom is pumping
I had to replace it once after 3 months since it stopped working. Hence 4 stars. But amazon replacement process was a breeze.

We have been using it since the day it arrived and it was very difficult to be without it for less than a week while we waited for the replacement to arrive.

Top Notch, Loved it
The avent breastpump in the only one I have used and I was extremely pleased with it. Very quiet, easy to assemble, comfortable and I was able to pump as much milk as I was producing in about 5 minutes. I actually liked the soft pads and it was a life-saver especially when I was sore. I do not need the breast pummp anymore and I wanted to wait to write a review until I was finsihed. I would definitely recommend this product. I do think that cleaning any breast pump after each feeding can get overwhelming at times but it was easy to clean.

Does the trick
Works just as it's supposed to. I am quite large-breasted and have had no trouble. Not too loud or uncomfortable. Easy to put together. Also, I have the microwave sterilizer which makes taking care of the parts in between uses a breeze. And I just bought some of the Via cups so all my bottles aren't constantly in the freezer. So far, so good!

awesome pump, don't know what i'll do w/o it
these pumps are great. as a first time mom, i didn't know what to buy. i used the medela pump at the hospital and the first week when i took my newborn home, but wasn't too crazy about it. i read a bunch of reviews and decided to give avent a try. i'm so glad i bought these. my baby couldn't latch on properly, and i ended up pumping exclusively, so a good set of pumps is really important. i prefer avent b/c:

1. the hand controller lets you pump at ANY speed you choose
2. they're really comfortable (w/ the medela, i was getting sharp pains)
3. the motor is quiet
4. the motor still works great (i pump four times a day, 20-30min each session, for about 5 months now).
5. the suction doesn't touch the milk directly, so breast milk won't get into the tubes
6. the bag is designed to hold all the parts (motor, cord, adapter while you pump, so it's easy for working moms
7. comes with two 9-oz, two 4-oz bottles, four cold packs, and two insulators
8. the carrying bag is sleek, so you carry it to work and it just looks like a fancy computer bag.

the only thing that could be improved is that the power adapter is too big and heavy. would be great if avent can make it smaller and have the adapter fit right on the plug, so that it'll save an extra cable too. it's not a big deal if you leave everything in the bag while pumping, but if you want to take it out, then it is a bit bulky.

great product
very easy to use... eventhough it may seem like a lot of pieces they are super easy to put together...
5 minutes and i am done pumping ... great way to stimulate more milk...
wonderful product

Never Going Back To Medela!
\

I had been reading reviews for the Isis and decided to give it a shot since I was having doubts about my Medela PIS.

The Isis is so comfortable I didn't even think I was pumping (compared to the PIS). The petal inserts are a godsend! I love how the setting options are endless because you can set and re-adjust them as much as you want while you pump. The Medela settings were very limited.

I absolutely love that it is a closed system and milk/condensation will NEVER get in the tubing, which was a major worry I had with the PIS. Now I don't have to worry about mold EVER growing in the motor! I feel confidant in keeping and using the Isis for my future children knowing that it won't be a mold factory if I store it for a while.

Assembly time is about the same as the PIS, but the added bonus being that when I wash the pump parts I can reach every nook and cranny and get them clean. Even after sterilizing my medela pump parts I could still see residue and wasn't too happy about that.

Another bonus being that it is so much quieter than the PIS. I've read that some people wish there was a battery option with the Isis, but using the Isis as a manual is just as effective, and I can say with all honesty that I would prefer the MANUAL set up over the Medela PIS any day.

Needless to say I absoloutely LOVE my Isis and have been using it 2-3 times a day for a few months now and my milk supply is still fantastic!

still being used by my almost-3-year-olds!
I got two of these as shower gifts when I was pregnant with my boy/girl twins. Now they are almost three, and they are STILL using them almost daily. (I never expected that by the time my next baby came along, I'd have to get a third chair because the other two would still be in use!) We use them for lots of messy activities, from finger painting to play-doh. Sometimes all 3 kids sit in these chairs to play with toys with small pieces so the pieces are less likely to be lost. Tip: Get colors you like, because you're going to be taking tons of "first time" pictures in these chairs!

When the twins were little and were still building up their head support, we used the backs and pads, and we put the seats in the semi-reclined position. (The handles that hold the trays are adjustable, so the tray can be positioned straight - horizontally to the floor - no matter what position the seat is in.) We used the 5-point harness to hold them in when they were little, too. They seemed very comfortable just hanging out, propped up in the chairs. Now we use them in "booster seat" mode, with no backs or pads. There is a 3-point buckle for the booster seat, but since we always leave the chairs on the floor, we don't buckle the kids anymore. At this age, they can slip in and out themselves as long as the trays aren't pushed too close to their bellies. They can even wipe their own trays clean, which makes this busy mama happy!

As far as safety goes, the big straps & buckles do seem to keep the high chairs secure on a kitchen chair. If your kitchen chairs don't have a space between the seat and the back, I'm not sure how well these high chairs will work for you, since there is a back piece that sticks out just a little. That back piece slides into the space between your kitchen chair's seat and back, to add extra security - but you might be able to make it work on a chair without that space. We always thought it was most convenient to use the high chairs on the floor, anyway. With that back piece sticking out for balance, we've never had them tip over, at least not backwards.

As far as the "space saver" aspect - I'd say no, they don't really save space, unless you count the fact that they can sit on an existing chair in your house. It doesn't bother us when we're at home, but when we're traveling, it does take up some room when we load all three of these chairs into the van! They're probably easier to move around than a big high chair would be, though - not heavy or bulky at all. It is WELL worth it to have them along at the grandparents' houses.

I think the instructions claim that the trays are dishwasher safe, but they're just a little too big to slide down into the spaces in a normal-sized dishwasher, without hitting the top rack. On the top rack, you'd have to lay them down totally flat, of course. It's best to just expect that you'll have to hand-wash them. Minor hassle.

Long story short, this has probably been the most most-used, longest-lasting gift that I received at any of my showers. They have withstood daily use for nearly three years now, and the kids don't show any signs of wanting to give them up yet. I highly recommend them to any new mom. Well worth the money.

Wonderful Highchair!!
I have nothing but positive things to say about this highchair. It is such a great alternative to a full sized highchair. Since it sits right on one of our kitchen chairs, it isn't taking up any additional space, and our baby is right at the table with us! It is very easy to get a baby in and out of. Additionally, all of the straps are easily removable for cleaning. I wish I had this chair when my older son was a baby, it would have saved me many a stubbed toe!!

Great Buy That Gives You Options
I love this high chair because it's easy to use and store. I didn't want a huge high chair in the corner of my kitchen all the time, especially since we were in the middle of house hunting and had no idea what our future kitchen/dining area was going to look like. With this chair, I can either keep it attached to a chair at our table, or if we have company coming over, I can take it off and store it in our pantry. Reattaching it is as simple as snapping two buckles. Also if my baby is going to spend the day over at grandma's (who does not have a high chair), I can easily take it along. The rest of the features seem pretty much standard on a high chair, and I haven't found anything I don't like about it. I have recommended this too many people and will continue to do so.

The Perfect High Chair
I started looking for a high chair with an open mind. After searching and looking at old fashion and modern styles and all types of chairs this one is the best. Not only for space saving but also for the support it gave my 4 month baby girl who still needed help seating up. We can use it at the kitchen table, dining table and it is very light to carry from one place to another. We all love it!

Happy with high chair
This high chair was just what i needed. It's compact,sturdy,easy to carry,versatile,& easy to clean. I'm very happy with this product. I would buy another one.

GREAT SALE!
Easy to order and had original ship date of 3 weeks after product ordered, but received a week early!! Very happy with transaction!

Very nice looking, but a pain
This chair is Very nice looking, not an eye sore like most high chairs. But dishwasher tray on top comes off with barely a tap. My son throws it on the floor constantly with food on it. It's a poor design in that respect. I am over cleaning the floor at every meal time, so I am getting rid of it. I would not recommend this chair at all. It also gets food stuck in all the cracks and crevices.

Great chair for any child that eats food.
Pros:
-Feels well designed and built, wooden stabilizers add extra weight at the bottom and feels less likely to tip over.
-Easily wipable backing and straps that remove for laundry.
-Upper eating surface separates from tray for easy cleaning, and is dishwasher safe.
-Good height, can be pushed up to the kitchen table (without tray) and baby is part of the family.
-More attractive design than fisher price animal prints.
-Seat back can recline and seat height is adjustable.
-Wheels roll easily for zooming around the kitchen, feels very stable.
-Straps are easier to use than Graco high chairs.
-Wooden foot rest for adult when feeding and baby gets his own foot rest as well.

Cons:
-Directions for assembly take guesswork. Seems uncomplicated until it's mostly assembled, then you realize half the legs are in the wrong slots.
-Wheel locks are effective and easy to lock with your foot, but not so easy to unlock without bending over.
-Tray tilts away from baby so dropped food or bottles can roll out of reach.

Overall we like this high chair a lot and would buy it again. Seems like, as with so many things in life, you get what you pay for.

loving it!
Just purchased this high chair for my 8 month old son. It was super easy to put together. The colors are so pretty & go perfectly with my decor. It's easy to wipe clean & the tray comes off easily with one hand. The brown headrest is useless, but other than that, I love this chair & so does my little monkey!

LOVE this chair
We have been so happy with this chair, I feel obligated to write a review (since I always use them but hardly ever write them myself!). First of all, it's gorgeous and blends with other furniture nicely. I found it super easy to clean (especially if you don't use the brown headrest which is cute but not worth it). Also, so easy to adjust - not that we needed to because my daughter was pretty big from the get go, but still a nice feature. Very easy to move around (and the wheels lock easily to stay in place). And one of the best features as time passed was that the chair pulled up easily to the dining room table (with the tray off) so my daughter could eat with us at the table (European style). Definitely not small though - don't buy for a tiny kitchen. Enjoy!

Great chair, but too big of a toy
This is an excellent chair! I love the bright colors and my son seems to be very comfortable. My only issue with the chair is the toy that comes with it. It's just too big and my 10 month old keeps pulling it apart and throwing it around. I ended up throwing it into the playpen with his other toys.

Awesome for the price
very good . Great High chair for the price. The toy that comes with it is good as well. I got it with free shipping. Cant beat the price. Had a small concern on the assembly. The manual is not very user friendly. But I did manage to assemble it after a bit of struggle. THis was particularly with the foot rest assembly. Other than that GO FOR IT!!! Great High Chair.

Nice high chair but needs some more design changes
This chair works for my 7 mth old and he sits there while i feed him. The toy is very colorful and he loves it but it does not attach well to the tray. Fisher Price should make a more fixable toy that will attach well and is child safe. Otherwise, all in all this is a good product.

Perfect High Chair
The Fisher Price Rainforest High Chair is an awesome high chair. It's comfy for my baby, and he loves the toys it comes with. They keep him occupied while I get our food ready. The chair is easy to manuver, the tray can come off with one hand, the height and recline are easy to adjust. We leave ours unfolded all the time, since we have the space, but it does fold nicely to save space too. The seat pad is easy to wipe clean, and the straps are machine washable. All around a perfect high chair!

High Chair
Great High chair, my dad bought this for us for my daughter. So far it's great, the toys are wonderful and my daughter loves them. The only thing i wish it would have is a basket on the bottom to hold bibs, and wash cloths... Overall great product.

Gerat improve from manual device
I owned the manual version of this pump, and this is a great improvement. All pieces and vessels are compatible, but electric is far easier and faster to operate, memory button works really good to adjust pumpimg rhythm.
Cons: too many pieces to clean, the same as with the manual version

VERY dissapointed!!!
DON'T BUY IT if you are looking for something with good suction! I bought this pump because I used to have a manual AVENT pump, which was great! I though, that electric one will have as strong suction as manual, but I was wrong!!! The electric AVENT is very weak, not goog enough to get 1 oz milk in 15 minutes!!! I am so, so dissapointed. For me it was just waste of money and time... I went for MEDELA SWING which is so much better and I really recommand this one!

Buyer Beware of Amazon's Product Description
I haven't tried the pump yet, but noticed right away that Amazon's description of the items/accessories that are supposed to be included with this product is either incorrect or misleading. I did not receive a 9 oz. bottle or a nylon bag or a travel pack of any kind. Shame on Amazon!

Only 4 oz bottle is included
Don't believe the specs, only one 4 oz (small) bottle is included in the package, no 9 oz bottle.

good pump
I love this pump. It was reasonable. I called the company and they also sent me a rebate which brought the cost down more. It arrived right away and it was easy, portable (great for pumping at work). The pump is strong, easy to use and the memory pump is fantastic it is easy to adjust. The plastic is honey colored and it is PBA free. I would buy it again in a minute.

life saver
this bottle warmer has been a life saver for my husband and I, mostly late at night when our newborn daughter wakes up screaming for a bottle. I have been expressing breast milk and warming that up in it. You can use regular avent bottles in it and also avent via storage cups in which you can freeze breast milk. Love this product! Would totally reccomend, great value for price... everywhere else I looked it cost more.

Almost perfect
We have twin infants who are formula-fed... lots of bottles being heated here. We have tried cheaper bottle warmers and burned out two of the cheaper ones before the twins were 2 months old. This one is by far the best out of the three different models we've tried.

A couple of things to note: it's easy to use for us, but we're familiar with baby products and such. For grandparents who come and try to babysit, the multi-step process to use seems to be too much for them to figure out.

It took us a couple of tries to figure out that our formula (thickened with rice cereal because of reflux issues) needs to heat on the baby food setting, so it takes a little bit longer to heat 8 oz of refrigerated "baby food" in a bottle. But it heats so thoroughly, without overcooking.

We love it so much that we're ordering a second one for downstairs (kept the first one in the babies' room). It's worth the money and seems much hardier than the other ones we used in the past!

Not necessary
This poor review is no knock against the product or its proper functioning, but rather a knock against all bottle warmers in general. Since purchasing this unit we have used it all of one time. Since then it has sat on the kitchen counter collecting dust and taking up space. When children are hungry they want food now, not 10 minutes from now. 20 seconds in the microwave and a good shake to ensure there are no hot spots is far more efficient than firing up one of these things. New parents, save your money for something that is useful like a good baby monitor or better bottles. You don't need one of these things.

DO NOT BUY...
..any philips avent product if you think it will make your life with your baby any easier! We have purchased the avent IQ sterilizer which stopped working after a day, the BPA bottles which all leak and after receiving this bottle warmer today it worked once and has stopped! All the buttons are flashing which according to the manual means the lid is not closed properly, it is a rather flimsy catch to close it, but seriously, how can you close a lid incorrectly? After contacting philips avent helpline for the first two items they did send replacements after several phone calls and rather reluctantly! It appears to be too much to ask for an avent product to work and I will ensure I NEVER buy anything from them again!

Excellent time saver
A few of the other reviews have said this is hard to use, but I found it quite simple.

You use 1 oz of water if you are warming a bottle from room or chilled temperature, and 5 oz if you are warming frozen milk or any non-liquid food from any temperature.

Hold the power button for 3 seconds until it beeps. Select the appropriate icon for food type and temperature. (Bottle/Jar and Room Temp/Chilled/Frozen) Then, press the arrow icon until you reach the amount of food you are warming (in ounces) and then hold the arrow icon down for a few seconds until it beeps and begins the warming process. Not difficult.

I do find that sometimes it is good to tell it to warm 3 oz of food, even if you only have 2 in the bottle. It seems to do a better job of warming it if you tell it there is a little more than there actually is.

Other than that, great product!

4 1/2 years later...still awesome!
I bought this for my first born 4 1/2 years ago. We loved it then. Now we have our second son and dug this out storage. It still works wonderful, easy to clean, quiet.

Highly recommended. Durable!

Still working after 6 years!
I have had this warmer since my first child was born almost 6 years ago. I will soon be using it for my 4th child - and it still works like a charm. I don't even empty it out every time I use it. I just dump out the water and put fresh water in every few days or so. I have used it for baby food and bottles alike.

My single and only complaint is no timer. I have overheated bottles not infrequently as I get busy making dinner or something. It does heat quickly - just about 4 minutes on high for a full 8 oz bottle.

Life saver
This thing works great for me. I would be lost without. We were heating bottles under hot water, but this cuts time in half for me. You do have to watch it as it does not have a timer. Once you get a feel for it and the amount of time you need to heat the bottle to your child's preference, it works great.

Good enough but not the best
Its good, easy to use, but not the best

its very easy to forget that the device is still on, altho there is a light indicator but the whole unit is so tiny, i cant believe for a price of [...] bucks philips didnt want to add a sound indicator like the one we have in microwaves.

i think its too expensive for the things it does, but i agree that it works satisfactory

does what it suppose to
this is a simple bottle warmer. you just need to put in water and turn it on/off, the three settings don't make any difference for us. we just set it to 3 and use this to warm up refrigerated breast milk, usually it takes about 5-7 minutes to get the milk warm. it works the same was as if you're warming the milk w/ hot water, except the water automatically heats up and stays hot. we still need to standby and swirl the milk after every couple minutes so the milk warms evenly. we use avent bottles, so the bottle fits perfectly. w/ dr. brown bottles, it might not fit as well.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!
I absolutely LOVE this product!! It gives me peace of mind knowing that there's no germs or anything on my son's bottles when I take them out & prepare them for his milk! I wash all bottles in warm soapy water then rinse them & stick them in the sterilizer! Once they're done & I'm ready to make bottles, I make all 6 bottles to prepare for the night & the next day! It's great to have this & not worry about food particles from your dishwasher getting on the bottles or worrying about if you washed them good enough in the hot water!! Yeah sure you could boil them but you have to wait for the water to boil & have a pot big enough to do the larger bottles! I would totally recommend this product to any expecting mother.

Very happy with the BPA-free version
After reading reviews of the earlier version of this product, which was not BPA-free, I was a bit concerned about safety but that issue has been resolved now that it is BPA-free. The one we bought indicated that it was BPA-free on the box, but if this is not confirmed in the product listing online you should probably check to make sure before ordering to make sure you have the latest one.

One great thing about this product versus microwave sterilzers is that you can have it in a room where there is no microwave (e.g. the nursery) and even potentially take it with you on the road (although it is probably better for a car trip than when flying due to it's size). The instructions say that you should use distilled water and descale it periodically with a bit of vinegar. I haven't found this to be an inconvenience and simply keep a bottle of distilled water next to the machine, but compared to a microwave sterilizer it requires a bit more maintenance.

The 6 minute sterilization cycle (the shorter of the two modes available) works fine and the fact that the bottles stay sterile for 6 hours if you don't open the lid (according to the manual) means that you can have the bottles sterilized and cooled well ahead of time. There's plenty of room in the trays for various bottles parts as well as pacifiers, breast pump pieces, etc. and it does work with non-Avent bottles (we are using Nursin' Smart and they fit fine). It is also very simple to use, with two basic modes and one button used to operate the sterilizer.

Overall, I can't find any problems with this product and am very happy with this purchase.

Easy to use & worry free for the first time parent
Very easy to use and save your time. The entire process takes 6 minuts and use only 3oz of purified water. When the sterilizer is done, it'll notify you. If we forget to add water, the beep sound will warn you (we love this feature) We forgot to add water to the micrewave steriler and Medela freezer caps were melted. We were terrified and replaced all bottles, nipples everything due to the plastic concern. The steam makes everything clean perfectly. We use Dr. Brown & BornFree wide neck bottles. They fit in the racks very well. We stack up everything the way we like and don't worry the design of the racks. My baby is 5 month old and the sterilizer is working very well. We find the best price at Amazon. Highly recommend it for the first time parents!!

Great for nebulizers
I actually use this to clean Pari nebulizers that I use to take inhaled medication every day, and it works great! The other ways to sterilize nebulizers are by either boiling them or using hospital-grade sterilization solutions. Those solutions are expensive, and I've walked away from the stove and melted more than one nebulizer in my time. This is a quick, easy way to keep your nebulizers clean for the next treatment.

This item broke after 2 weeks of use.
This item broke after 2 weeks of use at home. I followed what's been told on the menu. Don't know how it's out of order so soon. The same situation happened in my baby's day-care center. I really doubt the stability of this product.
