This is really a wonderful product! My 6 month old son uses his all the time.
I found an easy way to clean the mesh part that I would like to share with every one. First- remove any large pieces of pulp or food left inside- don't worry about scrubbing it out or removing all the food. Second- mix 1/4 a scoop of an oxi-clean type cleaner with hot water in glass cup. Third- put the mesh bag in the glass- ring side up (you can hold it down with a spoon). Wait about 10 minutes. Pull the mesh bag out- rinse and clean with regular dish washing soap. Air dry. Mesh bag comes out sparkling white (so will your glasses if you have hard water stains!). The food simply disolves. Works really well with bananas!!!! No more brown colored mesh. No more time spent trying to pull small bits of food out from the mesh edges or from around the ring.
Now what to feed baby- everything but pudding and ice cream! Bananas, plums, peaches, melon, chicken, cooked carrots, potatoes, you name it. No grinding food, don't have to spend extra money on jars of baby food. This little gadget is GREAT!

Safer feeder is a wonderful life saver to a teething crying baby. Eventually you will have to buy replacements for the netting, but I bought mine about 6 mnths ago, and still haven't had to make a replacement yet. My son uses it everyday. You can put fresh or frozen foods in the netting, and screw the handle into the cap and not have to worry about it coming undone. The netting is durable and strong enough for the sharp new teeth and the dishwasher. I usually put frozen peach slices for my son when he is cutting a tooth, and he loves to chew and suck on this for hours. Only thing the child will have to be watched as with any other feeding techniques, and the handle is a little heavy and bulky for the smaller ones. It is still good if you hold it for them and let them chew, much better than those water filled teethers and vibrating teethers. Overall it is worth the money spent and will be spending for the extra netting if we will ever need them. It is easy to clean, some food like bananas does get in the edging and you have to work it out by hand and running water, but it is simple. Great recommendation to parents whom are tryin everything from teething rings to frozen waffles (like I did) to help ease the pain of teething. As well as, great to start them getting a taste of real food!! A baby won't choke like my son did on the teething biscuits.

The Baby Safe Feeder is wonderful! I know it was designed to allow a baby to eat safely, but it also allows a baby to eat and explore new foods independently.

My 6 month old daugher has just started eating 'food'. Today I put a piece of banana inside the Baby Safe Feeder and she kept herself busy for 1/2 an hour mashing the banana with her mouth, tasting and eating the banana. I love that she can 'feed' herself. I have also put an apple slice inside and she spent a long time licking the apple, getting to know the taste.

This is a must for all babies! Only one suggestion - do buy an extra set of of the mesh food bags. You can buy them in sets of 2 (I got them at BabiesRUs store.) As it says in the instructions, some foods, especially bananas, stain and are hard to clean out all the way. Even when I spend 10 minutes cleaning the mesh net with a small brush and then put it in the dishwasher, some pieces still seem stuck. So we have one net we use for the bananas, and one net for all other foods.

Enjoy!

My 7 month old daughter liked this from day one. Just this morning I put in banannas. She spent 30-40 minutes gnawing in delight. I usually keep her in her high chair when using the feeder since it can cause a big time mess. Most often she'll need a bath not too long after.

I'm a very nervous first time mom and have heard one to many horror stories about teething biscuits. But I didn't want to limit her to pureed baby food. I feel like this product is good for that in between time...before you start giving them cooked, chopped veggies etc to self-feed and long after they've mastered the art of opening their mouth in anticipation of food. This product will also give your little one a safe and nutritious way to satisfy their urge to chew when teething. It works just as well as they claim it does :-)

I always thought this was a good idea. When my daughter started teething and wasn't interested in anything else, I bought it and I'm SO happy I did.

I've seen other ones with bigger nets, but this net is a perfect size for a little one who is starting to chew and bite. The handle is a bit heavy but she can hold it two-handed and LOVES to chew, chew, chew!

I've used pineapples (which she loves), frozen cantaloupe, and just about every other imaginable cold/frozen food I could fit into it. It holds up well wash after wash, use after use! Pears are a little messy (like bananas) and sort of hard to clean out of it, but the extra few minutes it takes is worth the joy of a content baby!!

Given the cost of some teething rings, I didn't feel the price was too high and I like that I can purchase extra bags. All-in-all, this is a great product to help ease the pain of teething and introduce you child to different foods/flavors!!

At first when I saw this I thought it would be a bit disgusting to eat food through a net! My son loved it from the time he was 4 months old! He could eat apples, watermelon, cantalope, bananas, peas, carrots and even cookies through the netting - without me having to worry about him choking. It was great for long car rides or whenever he was fussy because it kept him occupied for long periods of time AND he was able to be exposed to foods he otherwise would not have been. I highly recommend this product, but you will probably need extra nets. I run mine through the dishwasher and they come out like new!

I came across this product with a recommendation from a friend who's twins were having an easy time with teething. My little guy was so unhappy and crying all the time. The bitter biscuits were so messy and even without his first tooth william was able to break them into little chunks. I bought the feeder and used it originaly for his teething. At around 4 months old I was putting melon in it. Although it said to use frozen fruit, I just used fresh and of course fruit juice was everywhere afterward but the crying stopped. The only teething upsets after buying this product were when the tooth actually broke thru, otherwise william was suddenly the happiest kid in town. Melon, strawberrys, oranges, peaches, you name it. and once he was old enough i'd use it at dinner time and give him whatever we were having. Steak and potato....No problem. It made all the difference and saved my sanity to boot. I ran out and bought one for every gal in the family who was having a baby.

After reading about a good way to clean the bags (with Oxy-Clean), I wanted to tell everyone an even easier / healthier way to clean these (and all other things that are hard to scrub). Fill a learge bowl with 1/4 cup or so of white vinegar and warm water, place the bag (or any other item to be cleaned) in the bowl and then add a plain Alka-Seltzer tablet (I buy a generic brand at WalMart that's dirt cheap). The Alka Seltzer fizzes powerfully when it hits the vinegar and both of them together get out stains and blast off everything else without even scrubbing. Since it's just vinegar and seltzer, it makes me feel safer that there are no harsh chemicals left on the surface of whatever I'm cleaning...especially if it's for my baby. This also works great for cleaning jewelry (especially rings), and is much much cheaper than most other methods.

Like most of the other reviews.. I too like this product. I have NO COMPLAINTS... I would like to say, with any child eating this too will make a mess. If you give your child anything in the car, your car will be a mess. I read one review and wanted to just say... THE PAPER IS SUGGESTIONS... they say it's no mess duh to get you to buy it.
The point of this product is to free up your hands from saving a choking baby. My son like many others broke off the bitter biscuits into his mouth and I had to fish them out. Now he has gone from those to peaches to lasagna noodles to even meat in this thing. It's great for those babies who don't want to eat baby food anymore. My son is just 8 months and has been using it since 6 1/2 months... it's great. I love that he too can eat with us at dinner by himself.. he loves this so much that he saw it in the drain rack and pulled it himself to eat...
I don't have a dishwasher and haven't complained once about cleaning it..
thanks for a great product.

Wonderful product. Our six month old loves this feeder with ice. Perfect to soothe a teether's sore gums! We've also tried fruits and cookies. She loves to try what she sees the family eating, so this is the safest way to allow her to try new foods. I would recommend this to everyone. The idea about using toy links to attach this to trays or strollers is great too. Let me add that you need at least two of these feeders so that you can take one in your diaper bag. WARNING! Be ready for lots of comments and questions about where to find this wonderful invention! :)

Thank you to the dad who invented the Baby Safe Feeder. You're literally a life-saver! God bless!
