Evenflo Classic Glass Bottle

The Evenflo Classic Glass bottle is just that -- a classic. The design is simple and straightforward, with no fancy shapes or anti-colic features. It is very affordable and compatible with a variety of nipples.

Breakable, but not easily

Although these are glass bottles, there are very few complaints about them breaking. They are made from a heavy-duty glass, which makes it more difficult to break them. However, there is a possibility the bottle can break when it undergoes rapid temperature changes or if it is thrown or dropped hard.

Simple in design and easy to use

There are few bottles more basic than the Evenflo Classic Glass bottle. There is a nipple with ring and a bottle. It's easy to sterilize and clean, although one should be careful not to subject the bottle to extreme temperature shifts, or it could shatter. All parts are dishwasher safe -- the bottles on the top or bottom rack and the nipple and ring on the top rack. There are a few complaints about leaking, but not enough to make it a serious drawback.

Basic, versatile and possibly hard to hold

The Evenflo Classic Glass bottle itself doesn't have any anti-colic features; however, it is compatible with a variety of nipples, including Dr. Brown's, which are known for their anti-colic properties. It may be harder for some babies to hold since it does not have an hourglass shape, and the glass may also be more slippery and heavier than plastic bottles. (The latter is what you'll notice in the diaper bag when you're hauling a few filled bottles). Another company, Silikids, makes silicone skins that fit Evenflo bottles. Note: They are not affiliated with Evenflo.

The bottom line

The Evenflo Classic Glass Bottle is a popular option for people who want a less expensive bottle and don't like the idea of plastic. The fact that it works with a wide variety of nipples makes it attractive.
