Now that we have laid out their virtues and flaws let us discuss why we ordered them the way we did.
First up, #1 pick was the Avent because we felt it was the obvious choice. Not only does the company have an outstanding record, but they were a great value as well.
Our #2 product has some seriously great qualities at a seriously great price. They have made a name for themselves within the baby bottle market, and I am sure we will see them for years to come.
Our #3 pick was one of the newcomers in the bunch, but they have already made a big splash with awards that show they are on course to be a big contender for years to come.
Our #4 choice probably surprised a lot of parents out there. Dr. Brown’s bottles have been a household name for decades, and they have earned their place among any review of great baby bottles. However, we just felt that the complexity of Dr. Brown bottles made them less ideal first choices for soon-to-be parents.
I certainly hope that you have met your new baby bottle among my list and perhaps we have made it a bit easier to fill in that spot in your registry.
