Not much to say - the lids pop off a lot. I learned my lesson while scrubbing peas out of the bottom of the diaper bag. But if you're keeping them in the fridge they are ok.

These are ok, the lids have a tendency to pop off in the freezer. I probably wouldn't buy them again.

These container's are nice & the stackability is cool, but the lids tend to pop off pretty easily. If it wasn't for that I would love these containers.

The lids POP OFF very easily, so don't purchase these if you are looking for something to toss in the diaper bag and go. Right now I am using these to freeze uneaten baby food in, since my son is just learning to eat from a spoon and isn't really eating a bunch of it yet. I try a new flavor for 2 days, and then dump it into one of these, put 2-inches of masking tape on one side of it and write in sharpie on the tape "peaches/squash - discard 11/09/11" or whatever. [fruits & veggies freeze for 2 months, meats for 1 month!!] So that being said, these are freezable, microwaveable, dishwasher safe, and like the name says, stackable, which is good for freezer storage, but NOT travel friendly. They come in 3 different sizes in the one pack too, and many colors.

I bought these containers thinking they'd be great to supplement our OXO and Nuk baby food storage containers (we make and store our own baby food and bring it back and forth to daycare, so we use a lot of containers). And they were great -- once. After one washing virtually none of the lids ever formed a strong seal on its matching container again. I've given them a few tries even after discovering that the lids don't stay on -- when all of my other containers are in use -- and each time the result has been baby food or yogurt spilled all over the inside of our baby's lunch box. I think the issue is that the cup units warp. Whatever the reason, don't buy these. There are much, much better options out there.

The lids do not stay on. I would even put the food pot in a baggie before I put it in her diaper bag, and the lid would come off, causing a big mess in the baggie. I would not recommend these.

I bought two of these and thankfully I only opened one of them. I like the pastel colors and how they come in different sizes but the lid doesn't stay on. If you are just putting it in the freezer then I guess it's fine but for travelling..not a good idea.

Terrible in terms of size (the largest is very small) and the lids do not function well at all. Not for travel. One star for the fact that they are stackable but that's the only positive thing about them. Would not buy again!

I bought these when my son started his solids. I liked the fact that they are stackable. I recently took these on a trip and the lids managed to stay on unlike the many reviewers experienced. I stuffed it in the diaper bag amongst many other things and they survived and nothing spilled. I do not use them in the freezer and have stored purees in the fridge and warming them using a bottle warmer and steamer. They've held up so far. I'll be using them to store cereals soon and will let you know how that goes! The reason I'm giving it a 4 stars is that the container will tumble if you rest the spoon in it. I had to use the lid as the spoon rest and the square shape on the bottom of the containers can be a little difficult to clean.

09 June 2011 Update:
I thought I'd update everyone. I think that the lids will stay on if you align the tabs together. There is a tab on the lid and on the container itself. Somehow, I find that it snaps and secures the contents. I've been traveling with these pots in my diaper bag and have not experienced any leakages. I've kept snacks in them as well and they've held up and maintained freshness unlike other snack containers.

These containers are more trouble than they are worth. Sure they're cheap, but you get what you pay for. They don't seal completely so they leak if they tip over. Also, because of the design, you can't leave your baby spoon in them between bites or they will tip over. And just today I discovered that the little lip of the top broke off and my daughter had the sharp piece of plastic in her mouth! I'll be replacing them with something more stable. Junk!
