I received a Dylan the Octopus Bottle Pet to review.

About:

Bottle Pets are machine-washable baby bottle covers. Shaped like stuffed animals, these plush toys are practical and fun. They work to help insulate the baby bottle and encourage early hand-eye coordination skills. Babies will find it easier to hold their own bottle by grasping their Bottle Pet. Bottle Pets meet or exceed all statutory safety guidelines and have undergone rigorous safety tests.

Bottle Pet designs include: Riley the Bunny, Sammy the Bulldog. Drew the Ladybug, Gracie the Pig, Dylan the Octopus, Bailey the Cow, and Charlie the Dinosaur.

Experiences:

Since I decided Baby J was a little too old to test out Bottle Pets (although he loves plush toys), I gave Dylan the Octopus to my husband’s cousin (going to call her “A” in this review).

Her little one is five months old now, and “A” told me that he loves to hold the Bottle Pet. However, they weren’t able to easily use their Tommee Tippee bottles with the Bottle Pet, so that was a drawback for them. The website does state that Bottle Pets are one size fits all. From what “A” told me, it was difficult to get the wider Tommee Tippee bottles into the Bottle Pet, but it’s possible.

The Bottle Pet is designed to actually slide the baby bottles into the Bottle Pet from the bottom. There’s a YouTube video HERE that demonstrates how to do this. “A” suggested the Bottle Pet brand consider a future zipper design on the outside that would allow parents to zip the Bottle Pet around the bottle, so the Bottle Pet can more easily fit a variety of bottle styles.
