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

These are so so great! No mess with these.. I used these for my 7 year old when he was little and have recently purchased these again for me one year old. The product is the same, nothing has changed. I’ve tried a couple of others like these but these are seriously the best. Plus affordable, easy for kids to use and take on the go!

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.

I like this product! When my first order arrived on of the little "tab" pieces that hold the holder closed was broken. It still functioned, just not as well for a 1.5-year old that will try anything to open something. I was not going to complain because I usually do not unless it is totally damaged, which it wasn't. The company emailed me about my purchase to make sure I was happy with the product. I told them I was but it had a small area damaged. She sent me two more to "make up" for it, which I was so grateful for, one would have been enough! I am giving these 5 stars because of the customer service! The product its self is good, but not the best thing I have used. The whole thing is plastic and the "doors" and hinges of the holder are somewhat too thin. When you try and put a full, just opened pouch inside and close the doors sometimes it will squirt out because the holder is a bit snug. It does fit the small and large pouches which is nice! It does prevent my son from squeezing the pouch, which is its purpose, so it does its job. I will probably wait a little longer to let me son use them until he gets past throwing them on the ground since it does break easily. If you have a child that does not throw they will be great! Good product!

I tried ChooMee caps to avoid pouch spillage, but my son didn't like the caps, and refused to touch the pouch with one on it. Enter this product...The cases seem to be well-made enough that they should survive a few months of use by your average toddler. I do feel the need to handle it quite gingerly when opening and closing. The side joints are just thinned areas of the plastic that seem like they would wear out eventually, but if you don't twist the "door" part to start a tear in that hinge, it seems like it should last for at least a couple hundred or so uses. The design with the wrap-around tabs that clip to secure it closed feel a little thin/flmsy, but they work quite well and seem secure when closed. This could be one of those items that seems a little flimsy, but lasts for quite a while longer than you'd expect. I'll be sure to post a follow up to let you know. You are probably wondering why I am reviewing this now, instead of waiting until I have those answers for you... I want to share a few basic design flaws that will prevent you from wasting money.This item cannot be used with ChooMe caps  ChooMee Sip'n Soft Top with Flow Control and Cap for Food Pouch Feeding (Red Purple Orange and Aqua), 4 pack , at all. The cap -if properly attached- should be pushed firmly down onto the spout until you hear and feel a pop. The pouch has a sort of collar that secures it into the EasyPouch case. That snap is the cap securing under that same collar. You can use one or the other, but not both at the same time. I posted pics to demonstrate this for you.This item also cannot be used with several brands/styles of reusable pouches. I mostly use Resqueeze reusable pouches  ReSqueeze Reusable Food Pouch (8-pack) . I managed to fold and cram the pouch into the case, only to find that closing the EasyPouch case forces the ziplock type closure across the bottom to pop open. This allows the contents of the pouch to ooze out into the case. I also tried this with another brand of reusable pouch that has the closure on the side instead of the bottom, and had the same thing happen. I was able to successfully use this with the single use pouches from Infantino that I only use when I will be feeding away from home.  Infantino Squeeze Pouches, 50-Count If you are going to use this with single use pouches, I did find a silicone cap that can be used with the EasyPouch case. These Pouchpop caps are basically a soft straw-type extension that screw onto the tip of pouches using the threading their tops came screwed onto. Those toppers are an open tube, so they do not prevent spillage like a ChooMe, but using them with the EasyPouch case leads to very minimal spillage.  PouchPop Topper 2 Pack for Pouch Feeding, 4 Months Plus - Red/Orange I posted photos with pouches using both types of toppers and showing the scenarios I mentioned with the reusable pouches. This product is basically useless for me personally due to not being able to use it with reusable pouches. If you exclusively use single use pouches without toppers like ChooMe, this is the product design for you.ETA: Months later, I have used these several dozen times with the Pouchpop topper, or no topper at all, and the cases have performed well. I have always handwashed them and they still look brand-new. My son did find that he can sling food out of them (physics, yo), but they are still much less messy than a pouch not enclosed in the case. We have not yet had any cracking or breaking of the plastic, and my son (now 18 months) has not yet come close to figuring out how to open them.

I wish I had these when my older two were younger. We will give pouches occasionally because it's easy or if we are traveling. This make it so much easier and there is no mess. so far it has fit every pouch that we have bought. The motts applesauce, gerber and so many others! They clean easy. I have only ever hand washed mine. Not sure how they would hold up in the dishwasher. Highly recommend!

Our daughter is mastering the art of using a pouch. With that comes quite a mess. These little cases are awesome. Her pouch snaps in, I close the case around it, and she sucks it out rather than squeezing it all over herself. With the two pack, I keep one case in the diaper bag and the other case inside the kitchen so that we always have one ready. I will definitely be recommending these to my friends!!! I wish I had found them sooner!We use them with Infantino pouches and they work great. The little plastic ledges snap between the layers of the opening and the pouch won't move at all while in the case. They do not work with GoGo Squeeze (constantly move around, not secured) and are only ok with Plum pouches (not as secured).

This is the most useful thing I’ve purchased

Edited: some pouches made in India now sold fit this holder so, now am very pleased.

The pouches keep my son less messy. He has a hard time getting all of the contents out of the pouches.It would be handy if there was somewhere to put the lid.

Difficult to take out the whole cap...

I loved these, perfect for our granddaughter using the pouches in her car seat.I recommend for anyone using the squishy pouches
