Zo-Li On-The-Go Travel Formula & Snack Dispenser Report
Zo-Li On-The-Go Travel Formula & Snack Dispenser Review by Amazon Amazement (West Coast)
I was so excited to buy this formula after my cheap Sassy one wasn't it for me.
I had hoped for the Zo-Li Formula Dispenser to provide these:
Formula won't spill into other compartments - CHECK!
BPA free - CHECK!
Hold up to 4 scoops - CHECK!
Ease of use - Oops, Have to CROSS THIS OUT! There is no way to use this dispenser with one hand when baby is turning into Incredible Hulk and wants to eat NOW!
Formula can flow easily without getting caught up anywhere - NOPE NOPE NOPE, you still have to shake it, swish it and tap tap tap tap to get all the formula out.
So, 3 out of 5.
As my title says, it's not for formula. Maybe it would be better for snacks, but that's not what I bought it for.
It gets messy with the formula because in travel, the formula of course swooshes around in the individual bins, so when you unscrew each, the bottoms all have formula stuck to it. So:
1) It leads to waste of formula
2) It's not really very sanitary, because if you accidentally screw a bin that had been placed on a dirty table on top of another bin with formula or snack in it, then you just contaminated the formula/snack.
So I'm back to my $[...] Sassy after paying $[...] w/ shipping for this. Still searching for the right formula dispenser... I may try the Raz Pak, it looks like it's what I'm looking for. Wish me luck!
Zo-Li On-The-Go Travel Formula & Snack Dispenser Review by Hmom
We have now used the Zoli stacked containers for 2 years in our preschooler's lunch box/bag. We can fit 3 stacked containers with different foods in each (fruit, veggies, cut up lunch meat, cheese, etc.), along with a Thermos "funtainer" drink container and a reusable ice pack. These were one of only 2 kinds of containers that our preschooler was able to open/close easily, and the only reusable option that fit well in our lunch boxes/bags. I know these are primarily thought of for baby formula/snacks, but I wanted to let other parents know how useful we've found these for the post-baby/toddler years.
Zo-Li On-The-Go Travel Formula & Snack Dispenser Review by Jennifer (Jacksonville, NC)
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!
