Baby Cubes 2 oz.

I got 2 sets of these thinking they would be a great way to store food for my baby, but I was disappointed with the quality of the cubes. Some of them do not seal tightly, and 1 was cracked when I opened it. I'm stuck with 1 set since I threw out the packaging, but I plan to return the other and use ice cube trays & freezer bags for storing most of my baby food.

I choose these after MUCH research. There are so many food storage options out there, but these are made of safe, BPA-free and PVC-free plastic (unlike other baby food containers or general plastic containers in which the plastisizers can seep into your baby's food). If you don't fill them to the brim, they will stay tightly sealed. Like any other plastic, if you drop them and they are frozen, they might break. I just take them out the night before I will use them and thaw in the refrigerator. Works great! I have 8 sets and will be buying more!

These cubes do the trick, but I wouldn't trust them to keep the food fresh in the freezer for too long. They certainly don't seen to be airtight, and the lids do frequently pop off. They don't close securely, and they do leak if tipped over. The cube plastic is flimsy and when I sent one to daycare with food in it, they thought it was disposable and threw it away. The idea is great, but the product isn't up to par. It seems as though the lids will easily break from the containers. I gave this product 3 stars because there isn't another product like it that I can find, and the little containers are convenient. I wish Rubbermaid or Tupperware made small enough containers for storing because their covers are tight fitting and plastic is more durable.

I love this product! They are easy to clean, can be steam serilized in the microwave (not all baby bowls/dishes can go into the microwave), and the food can be thawed/reheated in the microwave.

As another reviewer mentioned, I did have one that popped open when I put it in the freezer, but that was because I filled it too full. Just fill it to the max line and you will be fine. I also like that these cubes (when filled properly) don't leave the food freezer burned. I'm not sure if that's a problem with the ice cube trays, but that was one of the reasons why I wanted to try these. And I haven't been disappointed!

This two ounce size is great for my twins. I also love that there is a measuring line on them so I can divide the food evenly between the twins to make sure both are getting their fair share! I believe there are also smaller 1oz cubes you can buy, but the 2oz size seems to be the perfect amount after your baby has been introduced to solids and starts wanting more than just a taste of food. For me, I pull out 2 or 3 of the 2oz cubes and can easily get the twins meals ready in just a few minutes.

Instead of writing on these with a dry erase marker, I just put a small round sticker on the front of the tray with the food and date, and it works great for me. The trays allow me to stay organized so it's easy to know how much of a particular kind of food is left... so I know when to make more!

I originally only bought 2 trays to test them out and see how they worked. I loved them so much that I've ordered another 2 trays and may be back for more!

These are wonderful and have saved us a ton of money as instead of buying organic bottled baby food we can make our own. They freeze well and are just the right size for our six month old's meals. Using them is as convenient as bottled food - although we still buy the odd bottle for use when we are out and about. The tray the containers stand in makes them easy to fill and store stacked in the freezer. You can write the contents and date on the trays with an erasable marker. Along with my immersion blender these are my new best friends. I own three sets and am about to purchase another three.
