KidCo BabySteps Basic Natural Feeding System

The KidCo BabySteps Basic Natural Feeding System includes the BabySteps Electric Food Mill, two freezer trays and a sample baby food guide, including a number of recipes. This inexpensive baby food maker has a 2-cup (16-ounce) capacity and weighs just two pounds when fully assembled. Parents say it's easy to use (simply push a button to start the pureeing process) and easy to clean in the dishwasher or by hand. A turbo speed is designed to produce fine purees, although some parents say this still doesn't do a good enough job for babies first transitioning to solid foods. Unlike the Beaba Babycook Baby Food Maker (*Est. $120), the BabySteps doesn't have a steaming function, leaving some detractors to say it's little more than a basic blender.
