Five Stars!5
I received this item at my baby shower. What a life saver! One of the great things about it is that it doesn't require batteries and you don't have to plug it in! You can keep your baby bottles, food, or wipes warm for hours. (The inside is well insulated). You put the inside unit that puts out the heat in the microwave. It says that it lasts for up to 4 hours but it last more like 5-6 for me. You just need to pop it in the microwave for 1 min. - 1 & 1/2 minutes and you're ready to go! This works great for us since we go on a lot of car trips. I would recommend it to anyone.
We love it!5
I wasn't so sure how this thing would work since it required no batteries and didn't plug in, but I was curious and liked the idea of it so we used one of our giftcards and got it. Of coarse I tested it out just as soon as it arrived and we love it! It takes a minute in the microwave and then it's warm for hours. It holds a nice amount and fits perfectly in both our large and small diaper bags. It's perfect for church, trips to grandmas, the doctors, or the mall!
Great Idea.... but the warming unit melted3
I really loved this product as long as it worked (it kept the bottles warm for about 2 hours).

Unfortunately the little grain pillow that you are supposed to heat in the microwave is in a plastic (!) bag... Which simply melted after a couple of weeks (and just for the record: No, not because I don't know how to use a microwave or didn't read the instructions).

So that was a little disappointing. I fixed the problem by making a new heating unit myself... with whole grain pilaf and a little cotton bag. Worked great by the way and at least this way I got to use the product for my daughters wipes and bottles for the first few months. After that, I just warmed the bottles where ever I went or gave them to her at room temperature and used uhm,... cold wipes (she didn't seem to mind one bit :-)

Hey, if any of the "Go Natural" corporate guys are reading this, cotton is actually a lot more natural than plastic and seems to be working better, too. Might want to try it out and possibly make some changes to your product.

Bottom line: I really like the idea and if the bag didn't melt, this would have been a pretty good product.
