I registered for this because I remembered my mom grinding my "baby" sister's food 20+ years ago. I figured it could not hurt to have.
My little one is almost 1 year old and still doesn't have teeth. She gums things very well, but meats are a little harder to tear apart. (Note, this was great when we started solids... it mashed bananas and took the strings out of sweet potatoes to give them a smoother texture than just mashing with a fork.) We're introducing her to meats slowly, and anytime I've tried to give her canned commercial meats, she has scoffed at them and pushed them away. Well, tonight she eyed my pork chop jealously, as if her cooked mixed veggies were not enough. I ground up between 1-2 ounces and added some water to it to smooth the texture, and she LOVED it. She could have eaten more, but she had plenty to eat in addition to the meat. Although it took a little longer to grind the meat, I did so sufficiently.
This grinder washes up well.. I rinse it off, take it apart, and throw it in the dishwasher. I have had no problems with this grinder. It does it's job as well as I would expect any non-electrical grinder to work. I wish I had the tote, but a ziplock baggie works fine.
I would also like to add that I had to contact Kidco's customer service regarding finding replacement hardware for a baby gate, and they were prompt and professional.

I love this food grinder. It is great because it travels well (to restaurants and outside events) and doesn't need electricity and is great for the home too. This is a great way to use the foods you are already preparing for your baby's meals and a great way to save money from baby food sold in the jar. Growing up we had two of these because my sister was handicapp and could only eat pureed foods.
Please note that this grinder is to be used for first foods (not chunky foods). Because fruit and vegetables naturally have a lot of water some of them might need a thickener add (i.e. Thick-it) if you find it too watery. Also foods with a lot of fiber or meat may need be harder to push through - this is a manual grinder. I find it useful to add some broth/soup/gravy to meat after it has been ground to make it more pleasing to eat.
I also recommend Ellyn Satter's books "How to Get Your Kid to Eat ... But Not Too Much" and "Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family" for guidelines on how and what to feed children.

The first food I wanted to use was broccoli. It would work wonderfully, then seemed to get jammed, work again, etc. It does work, but with more effort than I had expected. I tried preparing the food to be softer, but I encountered the same problems. I tried nectarines another day, and it made it very soupy. I guess I wish there was a way to adjust the mechanism to grind the food to different consistencies. My 9 month old son can handle chunkier foods, but with this mill the food is very liquidy. The size and minimal amount of parts/assembly make it very convenient and very easy to move. Also the entire mill can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Leaves much to be desired.
it only grinds food that is very soft and it can't have any liquid because it leaks. it also leaves about 1/2 inch of un-ground food in the column. Read more

Warped, hard to push together to use or pull apart to clean. Being returned. The Munchkin is a superior product.

A disappointment, not like the one I used 30 years ago on my own...
size of grinder area too small and too easily plugged with any food fiber...need to continually take apart to unplug...will only easily mill cooked soft non fibrous food items

Not Worth IT
This thing won't even mill up fruit. I bought it knowing that it would only mill up soft foods but WOW this is BAD. I have trouble milling up soft zucchini from a can. Read more

A lot of work...
I got this because I remembered my mother having one. It does work, but it was a hastle to clean and didn't grind through things like the one I remembered. I was disappointed.

KidCo Food Mill
Good product except there is a big gap after pushing down to grind food. This gap does not allow you to push it all the way down, therefore not being able to grind all the food. Read more

Good for softer food, not meats
This product is good for softer foods, like fruits and veggies that are cooked. However it did not work for cooked steak chunks that I wanted to add to my baby's veggies.
