Dishwasher Basket for Bottle Parts and Baby Items, Blue

After eight months of hand-washing bottles, we were SO over it. Enter the Dr. Brown’s Dishwasher Basket—our hopeful solution for saving time and effort. We tested it out by running both rinsed and un-rinsed bottles through the dishwasher to see if it really works. Spoiler alert: it mostly does, but there’s one small catch! Check out the video for more details :) Pros: • Fits small bottle parts, pacifiers, and accessories neatly • Works well with both rinsed and un-rinsed parts—no extra scrubbing needed! • Keeps everything secure, so no bottle parts getting lost in the dishwasher • Saves time by eliminating the need for constant hand-washing Cons: • Bottle nipples came out looking a bit cloudy in both tests (rinsed and un-rinsed) • Doesn’t fit a ton of items at once, so you may need multiple baskets (each basket only fits 3 sets of Dr. Brown’s bottle parts) Also, maybe I was just being slow (lol), but it requires some trial and error to load properly the first time. After the first time, loading it up quickly becomes second nature. If you're sick of scrubbing bottle parts every day, this dishwasher basket is a game changer! It keeps everything secure and cleans just as well whether you pre-rinse or not. The only downside - bottle nipples may need an extra hand-wash, but overall, this is a must-have for making bottle cleaning way easier. Highly recommend!

I had another basket before this one and never felt like certain parts were getting washed well in there since I couldn’t get the green part to stand in it. Now that I have this basket there is a specific area for each part, and the green part is able to stand up to get water in it. Once you are done loading all the parts you place it vertical into the dishwasher this allows it get to every inch of the parts washed. It doesn’t take up much room at all in the dishwasher. It's about 3 bottles long and only about 1 bottle thick. There is a little section for any extra parts or pacifiers which is handy. It has held up well, and I run it every night in the dishwasher. The only negative is it only holds 3 bottles worth of parts. I’m considering ordering a second one since the price is good.

The Dr. Brown’s Dishwasher Basket for small bottle parts has been such a lifesaver. If you use Dr. Brown’s bottles, you already know how many tiny pieces there are — and this basket keeps everything contained and organized so nothing gets lost in the dishwasher. It fits the vents, nipples, collars, and other small parts perfectly. I love that it keeps everything secure while still allowing water to flow through so everything gets thoroughly cleaned. No more digging around the bottom of the dishwasher hoping a tiny piece didn’t melt or fall through! It’s sturdy, easy to open and close, and makes bottle cleaning so much more convenient. Definitely one of those small purchases that makes a big difference in your daily routine. Highly recommend for any parent using bottles with multiple parts!

Though I do like this dishwasher basket, there are several things you should know before deciding if it would be a good purchase for you. First, this dishwasher basket fits Dr. Brown's Narrow Bottles and I don't believe that it would work well for other bottle brands or as an all purpose dishwasher basket. Secondly, it only holders parts for 3 bottles. I go through a lot more bottles within a day so I had to purchase multiple of these baskets. Third, this basket is more compact than other dishwasher baskets that I have seen on the market, which is a good thing because it takes up less space in the dishwasher. Keep in mind though, you will probably need to purchase more than 1 of these baskets for a day worth of bottle parts. Lastly, keep the box to reference when loading the basket the first few times since it isn't obvious where each bottle part fits into the basket. Overall, I like this basket and would recommend it to others that use Dr. Brown's Narrow Bottles. I ended up purchasing 3 in total, which for me accommodates 1 day worth of bottle parts, a few pacifiers, and a few other baby accessories.

This has been a lifesaver for washing sippy cups! We have lost so many sippy cup pieces in the dishwasher due to them melting, and this works amazingly. Always stays in place, doesn’t take up a ton of room, and leaves all of the pieces clean.

Dr Brown’s bottles, in general, are great!! Each one, however, is slightly different and overall I prefer the Options, even though my baby is not old enough to use valve-less. I have the original (terrible at spills, because the white cap in the shape of a top hat, sort of, doesn’t stop any liquid at all; they have clear bottles, blue tubies, and whitish valves). I have 4oz blue Options (great, easy parts, thumb print on the lid is awesome for popping that sucker off, and the lid also has these bumps that line up with the nipple, where it slows down the leaking of liquids, and keeps the leak in the cap, although given the ease of taking the cap off, it can still get really messy). (Sorry for the run on sentences, I’m a sleep deprived mama!!) I have the 4oz pink Options (similar to the blue, but actually the valve fits very snuggly along with the tubey part into the bottle, so that can be handy when trying to put the bottle together or add formula, while also holding a baby - more stable than any of the other bottles, where the tubey/valve pieces are just loose kind of sitting on top of the bottle; similar cap as the blue, but no thumb print, and harder to get the cap off, especially one handed). Lastly, I have the 8oz Options with plain bottles and with the Dream/Adventure and Animal characters, all with the green valves and tubies, and the similar cap to the blue, except they are clear, thumbprint included! These have been great, and the animal characters are super cute; the ‘dream big’ and ‘adventure awaits’ are cute-meh. The only thing I was disappointed in that set, is that half the bottles had characters, and half were plain. I may be off on the count, because I bought two sets, but I remember being bummed that I paid a premium for cuteness, and didn’t get a full set of cuteness! I do not own, but have used some purple wide bottles that I was loaned while traveling. That was great, so I wouldn’t have to carry a bunch of bottles, but I wouldn’t/didn’t buy them; they’re just too wide for my taste, harder to handle, especially one handed, and I didn’t feel the wide nipple was significantly better for my baby girl. I will address two of the main two complaints I’ve seen about Dr. Brown’s: leaking and too many parts to clean! Leaking, yes, totally a thing, but it does in fact say on the bottle to only fill to X line to avoid leaking! Having said that, it is very hard for my brain to perfectly calculate how much water I need for the formula, where I don’t end up exceeding the volume specified on ghe bottle! I personally don’t think it’s a huge issue. I know it’s going to or probably will, leak, given the liquid in the bottle, and what I do is to keep a cloth or bib under the bottle when she first starts drinking, and after the liquid is down a bit, I just open the bottle up and pull the valve/tubey piece up a bit, and several big drops come flying down the side of the bottle, which I just wipe off with the same bib/cloth. I can immediately get the bottle put back together before my daughter complains too terribly much. Remember, this is only an issue when you’re filling the entire bottle, either 4oz or 8, so at that point the baby is a bit older and can hopefully handle the briefest of pauses without too much of an issue. If my daughter were the type to go full on nuclear melt down, I think I would probably have to be more diligent about staying under the line, and offering more milk, once the bottle’s finished, and a fuller belly is less likely to melt down. Ok, regarding too many parts to clean... there’s what? Two extra parts that other bottles don’t have? Meh. But I will totally recommend getting the Dr Brown’s dishwasher baskets!!! Oh. Dude. Awesome sauce, life-saving, yes. I am very green, sustainable oreinted, so I cringe at how much water I’m consuming running the dishwasher sometimes every day. So not cool. And, I’m also a sole parent, so I gots a lot to take care of, dishwashy basket is a must!! I have 4. : 0 ) I’m not a super fan of washing the nipples in the dishwasher, so I still do those by hand, no biggy. There’s even special baskets for just nipples; someone gave them to me, but no, I no likey since it looks like there’s still a film on the inside. My experience with Dr Brown’s bottles in general, has been awesome! I don’t even remember when I sorta stopped burping my baby (she’s six months now), it just happened organically over time, but when I was burping her (maybe for three months?), she would only have one, maybe two burps. She burps on her own now, but then maybe that’s just her, the point is that there was very little gas! She had a wee bit of reflux as a newborn, but that’s normal I think, what with having an immature gut as a tadpole-baby. I gave her probiotics and kept her upright-ish, and I think the bottles helped. Ultimately, I totally recommend them!! They were recommended to me by my sister, 8 years ago, as my nephew’s salvation, hope they work for you!

Does the job but not really. Let’s be real, most parents have more than 3 dirty bottles when washing them. That’s literally the max amount of pieces this holds. I like it for the concept but not to wash 3 bottles.

This is my favorite bottle washer rack! Each piece of the bottle has its specific place and I appreciate the extra storage on one side of it for extra pieces. The rack fits perfectly between the side of the top rack and pegs of the dishwasher. I have put this rack through probably 200 washes by now and it is still in perfect condition. The rack is sturdy and does not move during the wash unlike others I have tried. This is a great purchase for the price!

Marche moyennement mais permet d'économiser un peu de temps

Perfect rack to use in dishwasher for small parts.

Unsere Flaschen haben nicht gepasst. Wegen der hohen Lieferkosten haben wir ihn nicht zurückgegeben. War leider ein Reinfall.

There’s so much space, Ican fit parts to 6 Dr browns bottle in these and everything gets cleaned. This was a life saver as it’s such a hassle to hand wash these bottles.

It only holds accessories for 3 bottles so I bought 2. They work perfectly and it really helps to ensure that her bottles are clean and sanitized!
