The best available...M.L.G.
I have owned other dishwasher baskets but none of them held the large Avent nipples very well. The nipples would often be found at the bottom of the dishwasher because the others would pop open during the wash cycle. However, these Munchkin baskets latch securely closed and hold the larger nipples without a problem. The plastic is very durable. Definitely the best I've seen!
Best dishwasher basket out there!E. Williamson
I have had a few other dishwasher baskets-all were very cheapy and flimsy. This is a very durable basket and holds everything. I really like the straw holder too because it holds all the Dr. Brown's parts.
So great that I purchased another!Amazon Customer
These small baskets are absolutely wonderful! I use Dr. Brown's bottles, & the nipples, inserts, pacifiers, etc. fit perfectly in the top part & hold them securely. In the bottom I put the disks & other small items. I have a larger one for other parts. With a baby, one is never enough! lol
Keeps items from flying aroundkattichic
If you use Avent bottles, there is no way you can fit 14 nipples in the top. I can only fit 5 at a time and they don't snap into place like they are supposed to. Other than that, the basket does what it should. The lower compartment has a removable divider . I find it works great for the screw on nipple holder and ring that goes into the Avent bottles. Don't think you will also fit the lids in here! Once I put five nipples in the top compartment, five inner rings, five outer nipple ring holders and about four pacifiers my basket is pretty full. I went ahead bought another one so I could sterilize more bottles at one time. The baskets just sit sideways in the top rack of your dishwasher so they are pretty user friendly. Overall, it is cheap and works for not letting all those small parts fly around the dishwasher.Update:Since my earlier review I have switched my bottle to Dr. Browns. I can fit even less into these holders than with the Avent! Once again only five nipples will fit in the top compartment unless I want them overlapping. In the bottom compartment I can put the 5 max of the blue tubes in the larger side and 5 max of the nude colored ring that seals the bottle on the smaller side. I have to put the ring that holds the nipple in the dish washer rack because there is no way I could fit anything else in this holder. I am leaving my rating at 4 stars because it still cleans the majority of the bottle components, I would just like the description to be a little more accurate. I think it says it will hold 14 nipples? Um, is that all they are cleaning in the whole basket because there is NO WAY that is happening! If you are using Dr Brown's you may want to look at using their holder instead. Since I already had these previously I am making it work :)
Good but...........Shauna
We use this every day when we run the dishwasher but I wish it was bigger. Also noticed that if you fill the bottom of the basket completely like is shown in the picture that the nipples don't get washed properly. Great idea but would be better if you could actually use the whole thing when filled.....
Item has its Positives and NegativesJTK
I bought several of these from my local Target. Why did I buy "several"? because although there are nipple holes in the top portion of the basket for 10 nipples I cannot get more than 5 nipples to fit properly. I would like to add that I use the Philips AVENT bottles/nipples and they are wide. In addition to not being able to fit more than 5 nipples into the top portion of the basket, I have a hard time getting the other bottle parts (nipple ring and bottle ring) to those 5 bottles to fit into the bottom. Therefore, to make a long explanation even longer - one basket fits at most 5 bottles.PROS:- I like that I put the bottle lids on the dishwasher prongs that surround this basket and they don't fly up during the rinse cycle (the basket lid keeps them in place).- I like the price of this (less than $5)- The straw holders on the side are great - it takes a little while to get the straws into the holes the first few times but after that they slide in and stay- The basket is small enough that it doesn't take up too much room in the dishwasherCONS:- Cannot fit more than 5 nipples into the top portion of the basket- I've used this in 2 different dishwashers and depending on the design of your dishwasher you may find it hard to find a place where this basket fits properly. Unfortunately, in both dishwashers I've used - the "sweet spot" that the basket fits is always in a spot that makes neighboring dishwasher space useless. If this was a little more narrow I think it would fit better (anywhere) in the dishwasher.OVERALL:- I would recommend this basket, because even with its flaws I suspect that most of the dishwasher baskets will have the same issues.

What a great invention. Allows you to easily run all your small bottle caps, nipples, pump, and other baby items through the dishwasher instead of having to meticulously hand wash them all. It has a removable center divider, which I see no purpose in, also, a small, open-topped side basket that I have yet to find a purpose for. The other side has these fold down flaps, I'm guessing for baby spoons, and that looks useful for me in the future. I recommend that when the dishwasher cycle is done you pull it out and give it a good shake over the sink. Sometimes little bits of stuff will settle in your lids and caps and if it dries that way, you might have to rewash them. What a time saver! I've got two.
Cute, but poorly made
