 Great BPA-Free Bottle Apr 27, 2008
By T. Pitts
We used Avent bottles for my first daughter, and had pulled them out again for use with our new baby (now almost 4 mos old). After hearing the reports about BPA in the news, I decided to switch to a BPA-free bottle. I looked online and in Babies R US for alternatives. I decided against glass because of how heavy they are and with having an older child I was concerned about safety with our newborn. Finding a good plastic BPA-free bottle was more challenging. At Babies R US when I visited about 2 weeks ago, there was only two types of plastic BPA-free bottles. An Evenflow variety, which I purchased and tried with our baby. It was inexpensive and seemed to us to be cheaply made, particularly the nipples. They also had Born Free bottles, but I had read some negative reviews on it and moved on. I purchased a Green to Grow bottle from a local organic baby store, tried it for a day, and then went back and bought 3 more. I have been using them exclusively for over a week and here are my pros & cons:
Pros
BPA-free and Phthalate-Free
All parts appear to be extremely well made and durable
Socially responsible company
Attractive design
Cons
Cost--they are $10 locally, and I found that if I were to purchase one online it would have cost me around $20 for a single bottle to be shipped
Nipple that comes with the bottle is super fast sometimes and even squirts our little one in the eye! It's supposed to be the slow variety, but when turned upside down it can come out in a single stream.
They do say on their website that the Gerber NUK nipples fit their bottles well and can help with infants transitioning from Avent. I am going to purchase these today to see if they help. All-in-all, we do love these bottles and are so happy to have made the switch to BPA-free.

 Great bottles Apr 16, 2008
By V. Manning
After reading about the potential harmful effects of BPA on kids I threw away all my Avent bottles and first replaced them with Born Free bottles. I hated those. At that time I was no longer breastfeeding and had switched my daughter to formula. The Born Free bottles were not practical at all to mix the water and formula because when you put the cap on it does not touch the nipple so of course when you shake it the milk goes everywhere. Then I found the Green to Grow bottles and it solved all my problems. The cap does touch the nipple so no worries about spilling milk everywhere when you shake them or transport them. In addition to being safe and practical those bottles are super cute, easy to clean and very easy to hold for my daughter.

Great plastic bottle Nov 03, 2008
By T. Baker

These are great little bottles made of a safe plastic. I predominantly use Dr. Brown's glass bottles, but these are a wonderful alternative when going out. What I love is that my daughter can grip them well due to their shape. They don't have a venting system, so they didn't work well as a breast milk bottle when my daughter was younger. One thing to note is that the nipple flow is generous! The first stage in Green to Grow is equivalent to a 2 in Dr. Browns.

 thought they would be good........ Jan 20, 2009
By Erin E. White

these bottles may be great for others but weren't so good for us. the nipples collapsed and ended up giving my son a lot of gas. although the bottles seem to be well made and are environmentally friendly they just didn't work for us. we ended up using dr.browns which are a hassle to clean but certainly worked much better.

They work! Jun 20, 2008
By K. Krembs
We had been using the Dr. Brown bottles for months but with the whole BPA thing we tried the Born Free bottles and our daughter would rather starve than drink from them. It was a mess. So, now we have a Green to Grow bottle. She like this one much better. And, the nice thing is the entire Dr. Brown vent system (middle insert, screw cap and nipple) will fit onto the regular neck 10 oz G2G bottle!!! We have been using the Dr. Brown vent system with the G@G bottle and nipple and it has worked great. I haven't given this a thorough leak testing on an outing in the diaper bag yet so beware if you try this but it works great at home. Now the only thing I need to find out is if the middle insert for the Dr. Brown bottles have BPA or any other nasties in it that we should be avoiding.
I would have given G2G 5 stars but they are really expensive which is a con for us.
