Evenflo Classic Glass Nurser

In a market full of specialty bottles with advanced features, Evenflo has been getting good user-review feedback for its simple Classic Glass Nurser baby bottle. This bottle's popularity seems to be based primarily on the fact that it's not made out of plastic and is BPA-free. If it's just BPA you're concerned about, most major manufacturers are now selling only BPA-free bottles, including the popular Playtex Drop Ins Premium Nurser (*est. $5 for one 8- to 10-oz. bottle). Dr. Brown's Natural Flow (*Est. $7 for one 8-oz. bottle) is also now BPA free, and it has the advantage of a tube vent, which many parents say works well to prevent gassiness and colic. The downside of Dr. Brown's bottles is that they take longer to clean and assemble for each feeding, while the Playtex Premium Nursers require refill liners. The most standard, BPA-free plastic bottle that gets high ratings is the BornFree Bisphenol-A Free (*est. $18 for two 9-oz. bottles), although it's more expensive. The Evenflo Classic Glass Nurser gets praise from some parents for its relative simplicity and easy cleaning.

We found the most useful evaluations of the Evenflo Classic Glass Nurser baby bottle from owners posting to review sites. Amazon.com, with nearly 170 entries, is a particularly good source but Epinions.com and Viewpoints.com have a few posts as well. The Having Patience blog has an interesting review from a stay-at-home mom with a background in environmental chemistry. About.com offers a top-six list of site guide Robin Weiss's favorite baby bottles, but she doesn't offer much in the way of analysis or justification for her choices.
