Sassy Teething Feeder, Colors May Vary

Better than Munchkin and I'll tell you why..... I own both the Sassy teether and the Munchkin mesh teether and the Sassy is a much better product. First, the mesh part is removable so you can throw the handle, mesh bag, and cap in the top basket of your dishwasher and all of the parts get clean. The Munchkin's bag is attached to the handle. We like to put cut up oranges in the mesh bag and it is nearly impossible to get into the nooks and crannies of the Munchkin teether's bag where the bag meets the handle. Second, the mesh bag of the Sassy is bigger than the bag on the Munchkin. I can put about 2-3 cutie pieces in the Munchkin bag and over half a cutie in the Sassy bag. Third, you can buy extra bags for the Sassy. We own one Sassy handle and I have 2 or 3 mesh bags for it. You have to buy entire Munchkin teethers if you want multiple units. I also want to add that I think that these teethers are also great for toddlers. I have a 14 month old and we put foods that are choking hazards in the teether so he can enjoy the juice and taste with no risk. In response to some of the other reviews, generally speaking, yes mesh bags are difficult to clean. Some people complain about that, but what do you expect? Your baby has been pushing food through mesh with his or her teeth or gums, so yes, food gets caught in the mesh. It's really easy to just run the bag under some hot water to clear the mesh, and then throw it in the dishwasher. I also have never had a problem with the bag staying put in the handle or breaking and my little guy is a very aggressive chewer. Lastly, I am giving the Sassy 4 stars because it touts that, if frozen, the handle will keep the fruit/goodies in the bag cold. I am unconvinced of this. I haven't noticed a difference in temperature when I have popped the bag in the freezer v. when I do not. If Sassy didn't tout this as a benefit, I would give this teether a 5. Rating: 4 (L.

Not a Fan!!!! This thing is HUGE.....My daughter has a hard time with it. I gave it to her a few times, and gave up....Went to donation....What a waste of money. One thing its also heavy with the litte cold pack that is built into the handle. Another thing that kind of ticked me off is the picture has 2 of them on it, but you onlu get one....I know it's my fault for not paying attention, but still a little deceiving if you ask me.....

Safe way for babies to start eating new foods We bought this a few months ago, but our daughter was a bit young for it. She plays with it, but still doesn't quite understand that it is food. I like that you can put the base in the freezer so you can keep the food fresh longer. It's a pain to wash, but the net does come out of the neck easily. I like that it locks closed, but it's really hard to get it unlocked. All in all, it's a great idea, but a bit of a pain. I don't give it to my daughter very often because of what a pain it is. It might be more worth it to me if she understood it better, but that will probably not be for a month or two. She's 6 months old now, and doesn't have any teeth yet. I also misunderstood that only one came in the box. I thought because of the picture it would have two in the package. My mistake, but I thought I'd let others know before they also made the mistake.

Baby loves it! Just got my Sassy Teething Feeder today and tried it out. Aesthetically it's so colorful and pretty. My 7 month old took to it immediately. The netting is all natural and is not dyed in any color so I don't have to worry about her ingesting anything harmful. It was very easy to put the fruit in and screw on the net on to the ring. Also, there is a push lock on the ring so the baby can't accidentally unscrew it and get the food out. I left my baby with the feeder and a piece of banana and she was happily gnawing for 20 minutes! It is a little hard to clean the net because of the mashed up banana residue but it's better when I soak it in water first. I highly recommend this product for the 6-8 month old babies! Rating: 5 (Y.

Teethings are great You can put most things in these and my baby can feed himself. It helps when he is hungry and I need time to prepare his meals so I give him a snack in the teething feeder. I sometimes even put frozen yogurt in it so it like he is having a frozen treat. Great idea! Rating: 5 (Lorin E. Carnwath, 2010-02-06) Sassy Teething Feeder, Colors May Vary customer review
