5.0 out of 5 stars Bigger than I thought it would be; works great. June 16, 2009

I had been debating between the Zo-Li On-The-Go Travel Formula & Snack Dispenser and the Innobaby Packin' SMART Formula Dispenser and Snack Case - Sweet Honeydew, iParenting Media Award Winner for Best Products 2007, and ended up getting the Zo-Li because it was the first one to be available (at the time) with Amazon Prime.

To be honest, I loved the idea and was so jazzed with the item that I paid NO attention to the size of the container. I just assumed (wrongly, it turns out) that it was a tall and skinny container. I know the containers I currently use for formula (the smaller size of the Powdered Formula Dispenser Combo Pack, although taller!) and was expecting it to be about that size. So you can imagine my surprise when I opened the box and saw just how big the Zo-Li was!! I uploaded photos to show the size...but it is 3" wide and 8" tall!! It's HUGE! I don't remember seeing the dimensions listed in the product information section...but honestly, even if they were, I didn't pay attention because I was just so enamored with this container! As far as it taking up less room than say, the more common Philips Avent Formula Dispenser / Snack Cup, BPA-Free...well, overall it doesn't because it's a bigger container, LOL, but it's a more consistent shape which makes it seem like it takes up less space. But it's not NEARLY the space savings I had anticipated. It's smaller in diameter but about 2.5 times the height!

That said, even with the size, this thing is great. It says it can hold formula for an 10oz bottle...and it can! The actual formula dispenser piece just fits on the top-most container (so, if you had formula in other layers, you would just need to rotate layers so the formula was on the top). It would also make a great toy (once empty) since the layers can be mixed and matched in any order.

As far as construction...the pieces unscrew VERY easily (it's only about 1/8 of a turn, which worried me--but I tried to pull them apart and they stayed tightly together) and they screw together fairly easily (to be honest, about half the time, I have to unscrew a layer to try and re-thread it correctly). The plastic is very heavy-duty in both appearance and feel. The formula dispenser portion works nicely, but as with any other dispenser, you do have to tap it a few times to get everything out (but since it is angled, everything easily does come out).

I do wish it came in a choice of colors (or all clear)--which is one thing I liked about the Innobaby.

Overall, I would highly recommend this item!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for on-the-go Toddler! December 15, 2009

By Michelle

I LOVE this product!

I bought this for traveling with my little guy. It eliminated 5 different tupperware containers I would take to the babysitter. Now I can store his cottage cheese, oatmeal, applesauce, macaroni and cheese, etc. all in the same compartment! I REALLY like the fact that it is long, roughly the size as a bottle, so it fits nicely in my diaper bag and lunch cooler.

It's also PERFECT for the travel since I can pack different kinds of snacks to keep my toddler satisfied at the grocery store, airport, or at a restaurant while our food comes out. This eliminates 5 different snack baggies in my purse and no more crushed Elmo crackers!

I never had to use this product for formula, but the top domed compartment is nice since I can stuff more inside (like apple chunks or noodles or pretzel sticks).

I only wish this product came a separate lid so I could store one of the compartments in the fridge. And it would be even better if it came with a "snack-trap" lid so I could give one compartment to my kid while in the stroller or shopping cart.

Regardless I love this product and buy it for everyone I know with a toddler!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite handy in more ways than one... January 21, 2009

At first I wasn't sure if this dispenser/storage system would work, but after using it since it arrived I have nothing but praise and smiles to share. It travels well in my diaper bag or tote bag and because it's modular you only fill and bring what you need. It is super easy to dispense. I always have formula in one section or more depending on the trip out and about and then cheerios or a handy snack in one section. I wish I would have found this product much sooner! Another great and worth mentioning plus... It's BPA FREE. Since I use organic formula that does melamine testing with every batch and even uses natural DHA/ARA as well as BPA free dispensers this was a big plus... BPA free is hard to find when it comes to containers for formula storage. The only type I found were the typical round tub container with the 3 sectioned compartments and it was always bulky when trying to fit it in my bag or tote. I'm putting this on a "must have" list for all new moms.
