Cherub Baby On the Go Baby Food Pouches

Too much trouble for what they're worth – When I purchased these at a baby expo while I was pregnant, I thought they were going to be the best thing ever. I had seen my sisters try to negotiate using microwaves at cafes to heat up their babies' food and thought being able to heat up my own wherever I was would be awesome. Also, the pouches take up less room than tupperware so would be… Read more

better for transporting. My baby has been on solids now for 3 months and it has been enough time to determine that they are just no good.

To start with, filling them with food is fiddly, to say the least. A small spoon is all that can be used as any bigger and the food gets smeared all over the edges, requiring a clean of each individual pouch after it's full. Using a small spoon means that it takes longer to fill. Also, the concentration required to keep the pouch from falling over (if sitting on the bench) or out of your hands (if holding), is too much for a new mum trying to get the most done in the 30 minutes that baby is sleeping.

Once the pouches are full, they need to be stored in the fridge or freezer. In this regard they are good as they don't take up much space. However, you will need a container to put them in if you don't want a freezer landslide to deal with.

If you are at home and are ready to feed bub, you're fine. Chuck a pouch in the microwave to defrost and you're good to go. Even better, transfer a frozen pouch to the fridge the day before so that it will require less microwave time to get to the right temperature when needed.

If you are out and about, you MUST have had the foresight to defrost the pouch before leaving home. The heat packs are no match for a frozen pouch. In fact, they're no match for a COLD pouch. The heat packs are only effective on a room temperature pouch. Crack one of those things and your room temperature food becomes nice and luke warm (provided you constantly squish the pouch to distribute the "heat").

After bub is fed comes the soul searching decision; dispose or recycle??! At first, it's not even a choice. Of course you are going to recycle them. And so, you must clean them. Provided you act quickly, they are not as hard to clean as you'd think. Rinse all the chunks out under the tap and then swish the pouch and the lid in warm, soapy water to give a more thorough clean. Rinse, then stand upside down to dry. If yoy didn't manage to rinse the pouch the day you used it, you will probably have dried on food. Don't even bother. Chuck them in the bin.

Now that your pouch is clean, you will need to re-set the heat pack so that you can have lovely, luke warm food tomorrow. Boil a pot of water, wrap the pack in a tea towel and boil for 10 minutes. You spent ages at the stove making the food. Now you have to spend more time to use the heat pack. And while you may have been super organised and made enough food for a week do that you don't have to cook every day, you will need to re-set the heat pack EVERY DAY as they can only be used once. No thanks.

So. Too much trouble. I am using my pouches still just to use them up and feel like I got my money's worth. But I'm only using food that won't require heating up (the heat packs are going in the bin) and I'm disposing of the pouches after one use. The only thing I will keep using are the cool packs. You can never have too many of them. Tupperware containers may be bulkier, but they are easier to fill, clean and re-use. And it's not do hard to find a microwave to heat them up in public. If you know you're going somewhere without microwaves, feed baby something that doesn't require heating.

I'm really disappointed that these louches weren't as wonderful ad I expected them to be. Maybe I'm just not patient enough. But then, show me a mother of a 7 month old who is, right?!

Durable and long-lasting plastic pouches – I have seemed to reused these food pouches forever. They are very durable and sturdy plastic that does not seem to tear or puncture easily. It is easy to wash with warm and soapy water and can easily be reheated in the microwave fresh from the refrigerator. It doesn't absorb the taste and odor of previously stored food. It gives me extra time… Read more

every morning as I can prepare baby's food overnight and serve it the next morning. As a working mum, saving my time is very important without sacrificing the preparation of healthy food purees for my baby. I just pop in various veggies and fruits into the food processor and puree them and then store them in the reusable food pouches. The bonus spoon also gives me the option to serve the food instantly to baby and its colour change function is very helpful as sometimes I would heat the purees at a higher setting and realize it only when the spoon turns white which means it is too hot to serve to my daughter. Without the spoon, my daughter might have been burned by my careless attitude.

Multiple Use Pouches – It has been a month since I bought these amazing food pouches online (a pack of 20 pouches) and I never regretted it. First, I use this for feeding my baby. I place assorted home made baby purees into the pouch and so far no leaks. It also comes with a free spoon that changes colours. But what really amazed me is the multiple uses that I have… Read more

used these food pouches. I use these food pouches in my baking activities as it can also store whipped cream, icing and custards for the fillings and designs that I can choose. One-time, I also stored yoghurt into the pouches and it was space-saving for my fridge. Instead of storing in jars, I also use these for storing leftover food, dips and sauces that can easily be microwaved for reheating. Although it costs higher than other food pouches, I found out that I am already saving in the long run as it is reusable, easy to wash and most of all have a multitude of uses for storage not only for baby food but for storing other food items.

Can’t live without products! – When my boy started eating solids I didn’t know this would because a go to! They are a perfect size, great material and well made! Never had an issue with these pouches. Also go easy to clean! Show details

fit for mums who prep bub's food on their own – I’ve always made my own baby food, so these reusable baby food pouches have been a great find. They are so easy to fill and recycle – less mess and less trash! I love the fact that they are microwave and freezer friendly, so there are fewer dishes too! They’ve really made cooking and feeding my baby much easier, thank you.

switching to this product – While I’ve always been a tupperware fan, I have recently been converted to these reusable baby food pouches. I was a bit unsure about the quality at first, but after receiving a set as a gift and using them again and again I’m now convinced. Plus they take up less space than traditional tupperware! I can really recommend these pouches.

Hard to clean and reuse - ok for food storage/freezing – Good budget option for freezing homemade purees (or things like tomato paste) like another review said anything slightly chunky will block up the spout. However they are hard to clean and made of thinner material compared to others we tried (Kai Carrier, Sinchies, Mashies) which meant they needed to be thrown out after a handful of uses. They do… Read more

also stain and absorb odours so red (tomato based foods) and anything with garlic, onion or leek are single use. Yoghurt was also very hard to clean out of the crease at the bottle of the bag. Would recommend if you're using to store/freeze purees, however if you want something that can be reused many times would recommend investing in one of the brand's with a thicker bag or a silicone squeezy.

Ok does what it says! – These are a bit hard to clean can grow mouldy quickly if anything left inside for the cost u would just buy the pre packed food pouches alot of effort needed to use these usefully. However they are good if you want to open a jar of food an divide it for two seperate meals but obviously you would need to use the two meals two days in a row or the food will go off.

Could do with some improvement – This is a quality product however the side port makes filling and dispensing messy and difficult would probably suit a toddler or child. I have young twins and usually use a spoon attachment when out for feeding however the side port makes this akward and messy as apposed to top port. Also very hard find equipment to fill these pouches

Great storage solution – If you are looking for a way to store your homemade baby food then these baby food pouches are a great solution. Making homemade baby food is so simple, and you know exactly what you are feeding your baby. I used to use small tupperware containers to store my baby purees, but I never had enough small ones and they took up so much space in my… Read more

freezer. These pouches are a perfect meal size for my baby and they take up less space. I’m loving this product and can definitely recommend them to other mums out there.

Definitely reusable – These food pouches are proving to be really tough and easy to fill. I love the zip-lock opening and that they are freestanding. Storing homemade baby food couldn’t be easier, plus they don’t take up too much space in the freezer. I like the fact that they are easy to label too, it really helps with keeping track of when the baby food was made and what it is! Cleaning them is simple so you can definitely reuse them again and again. Great value. Show details

Awesome food pouches – I’ve been using the Cherub Baby food pouches for a few months now and I can honestly say they are the best brand I’ve tried so far. They are definitely reusable even after throwing them in the dishwasher a few times. Other brands have torn after a couple of uses, but the Cherub Baby ones keep going. Awesome brand! Show details

Does what it says – Bough their pouches couple of weeks ago. Have been good so far..my baby loves sucking purees out of these pouches. Bit hard to clean but we soak them in hot water which does the trick. Plastic will last few months I would say. I don't microwave these nor put in dishwasher as it would probably shorten their life.

Perfect way to freeze about any liquid – We got these as a gift so I decided to try them out using home made soups and they froze great apart from don't put anything larger than 5mm or it get stuck. Making baby food and storing in these is simple too just make the baby food in a processor then pour in and freeze!

Really Good – I found these pouches to be really good, handy to take places. The zip lock is great for if we need to top it up, and the best thing is it's reusable! Would recommend this product to other mummies out there although it still has alot of room for improvement.

storing food has always been so easy, thanks to this product! – There are moments when I have to make to make food in advance and the food pouches has been my companion in keeping them free from any bacteria/spoilage. The food pouches are made of tough plastic which makes it perfect for dishwasher cleaning. I also would love to check out other products from the same brand, I think they sell food warmers, baby bottles, too.

Food pouches that are awesome – I bought this product at a recent expo. They sometimes sell their products at a lower price during an expo. The food pouches are awesome. I have thrown this in and out of the dishwasher and the pouches are still intact, I saw that there are no any signs of discoloration and damage. They are so handy and great value.

Durable food pouches and are easy to use – The food pouches made my life easier than ever, as I can store the food I made in advance and just cook in large batches to be consumed later. It has a double ziplockand so far its proven to not leak. I’ve taken then with me on plenty of trips and holidays and even on the plane with no issue of them leaking. They are super handy and the spoon that they sell works really well. Recommend!

Fantastic product – I received this item as a sample from the baby expo. So I went and purchased them and the pouch warmer and cooler. This product is fantastic before I used them I use to plan my trips around lunch time so I could be home to feed my son his lunch but now I just fill them up and can be out all times of the day. Definitely recommend it

love this product – cherub baby on the go baby food pouches are very good buying and very convenient if you want to take food for kids somewhere outside. once my husband had an emergency with the zip lock opened itself and all hot meal ended up on his pants while we were at the High Tea Birthday celebration.It is memorable.

best food pouches – These food pouches are the best. I was a little hesitant to buy myself a pack this because I’ve had a terrible experience with the food pouches I once had. Some of them were made of cheap plastic and tear up easily. However after giving this one a try, this product has restored my trust to food pouches back. The food pouches are made of… Read more

highly-durable plastic ,I’ve ran them through the dishwasher/microwave countless of times. The zip lock that it comes has been completely leak proof so far.

Alright but I've used better food pouches – I bought these pouches because I forgot my other ones at a restaurant. When I first opened these pouches I smelt a distinct plastic smell, after washing it the smell was still there. After filling it up with purée the twist lid was super lose and did not contain the purée. Must keep pouch upright

Leaks and baby finds it difficult to move the puree up – My baby can eat from pouches by herself but this one was no success...plus it leaked from top making me clean up heaps of mess. I thought I could make my own purees and use this, unfortunately wastage of money. I wish I could return them... Complete wastage.. Don't waste your money

Great concept – I like the concept that can feed on the go..but it's still so messy to feed a 7 month old out of it that I have to feed him at home which defeats the purpose of on the go. Says microwavable, but food expands and leaked out, and not sure if I like microwaving plastics. And it's really hard to get the last bits out of it so you never get the right… Read more

quantity, my baby is usually very good at scraping the bowl clean so I don't like how little bits are wasted from using this. The cap is definitely a choking hazard (I wish it can be permanently attached to the pouch somehow so u don't lose it and get paranoid that baby swallowed it) and the ring around the cap (the seal) can be very hard to get off, so kind of annoyingly dangles half on half off. But again, I like the concept of it all and hope that I'd get more use out of it later.

So pleased with these pouches – I bought these pouches together with milkbags in a sale last December and I am very pleased with their quality. They are easy to seal has not leaked any puree and sauce that I have prepared so far. I also like the spoons that came with it as a bonus as they change colour int pale white when the puree that I have heated is too hot for eating. I… Read more

also love the idea that it is reusable as plastic is non-biodegradable and reusing them several times is a big help to the environment and in waste reduction. I'm recommending them to our mother's group.

Great for homemade food – These pouches are great for every mum. I place more than just baby food into these pouches. I usually store homemade yogurt, sauces, syrups and oils inside to easily store and organize liquid and pureed food items. They are very convenient as the transparent plastic helps a lot in identifying what products are stored inside. It's easy to find sauces stocked in the fridge and it can be labeled easily too.  Show reply

Cheap looking but full of surprises – I was in a hunt for reusable food pouches for my baby and this brand seem to be the cheapest in terms of pricing. With the cheapest look and very thinnest plastic material comparing it to other brands such as little mashies and sinchies, I wasn't expecting anything much from it. But it proved me wrong as the pouches remain durable and the ziplocks… Read more

seals baby food even after several uses. Each pouch last for more than seven uses without any signs of tearing or risk of puncture. It also has free kiddie spoons which are very helpful when feeding kids with small mouths. I'm so happy I made the right choice in being practical by choosing cheaper alternative than very expensive brands.

Pros: Low Price, Durability, Reusable, Practical choice

Cons: Thin material, Not so colourful, plain looking

Quality and Value for Money – Quality and value for money are two descriptions of this unique baby food storage and feeding product. I bought this intentionally for storing baby food since it is being sold in baby stores. But the pouches which are very versatile have been used in storing food and non-food items as it is made of tough plastic ideal for organizing little things… Read more

from snacks and nibblers, pre-cut fruit and vegetables. sauces and purees, salad dressings and dips among many other things to be stored in the pouches. The ziplock is very tough and what I love about it are the labels where mums like me can indicate what date the food was prepared. It also helps that the pouches are microwave safe as after being stored in the fridge, the pouches can immediately be heated in the microwave. It is definitely a value for money choice.

Great storage for homemade food – These plastic pouches are tough. I have been using them for three months now and have reusing them without experiencing any leaks and tearing. The pouches ziplock still contain semi-liquid puree and baby food and prevent leaks. The bonus spoon has also been great during feeding time. It fits just right into the pouch spout and has this colour… Read more

change innovation which turns pale white when the heated puree is hot to prevent being burnt by the reheated food. It is microwaveable and can be stored in the freezer. I just love them!

Packed meals – Loved the idea of having packed meals and I am doing them for my baby. I have been using these reusable pouches after blending up wonders in the kitchen. I forgot it was all baby food. But the vegetable and fruit purees stored in these pouches saved me lots of money than buying unhealthy and poorly prepared baby food. Now, I am heading to the… Read more

supermarket to shop the freshest organic produce to turn into healthy purees and dips for my family to be stored in these wonderful and space-saving food pouches. My kids (and even my husband) loves reaching for the fridge for these deliciously filled pouches.

Easy Food Storage – The food pouches are tough and have been reused without any leaks. It can hold both solid or liquid food and are easy to wash. I stored baby food and label them based on composition and write the date when I made the puree. It helps a lot that it is resealable so that I can reuse them for other purposes. It can also be used for other items for those who would want to organize stuff in the home or office.

All-Around Kitchen Storage – These reusable food pouches are a blessing in disguise in my kitchen. They used to only contain baby food when I initially bought them but I realized it can also be a space-saving container and over-all organizer for all my kitchen needs. I place home-made yoghurt, jams, marmalades, cooking ingredients among many other food items inside these… Read more

pouches. They are easy to freeze and serve and is also reusable with just one wash of soap and water

These are made of durable plastic that is BPA-free and food grade which is why I need not worry of having plastic chemicals being mixed on my food or my baby's food. What I don't like about it is the price as it costs too much when used in many items in the kitchen but I would rather spend more for these pouches than use other containers that are for single use only.

Worry-free Food Heating – I need not worry about heating my food pouches filled with wonderfully prepared custards for my two kids. After buying this in an expo I had no more trouble heating food pouches. I just heat the baby food pouches quickly and easily with no batteries. Straight off the freezer, after preparing them a day before, I just simply place the baby food… Read more

pouch inside the gel warmer, click the metal disc and the gel instantly heats up warming baby's food to the correct temperature-. The best function is that it does not overheat making food just right for eating. I am not impressed by the bonus cooler ice pack that keeps baby food pouch cool for hours but it does the trick for only a couple of hours. For busy mums like me that hardly have time for preparing food before going on short trips and travel, the travel warmer and cooler is a big help and I have been using it for for more than a year now.

Tough reusable plastic pouches – Two months before I gave birth to my daughter, I bought these food pouches eight months ago at an expo highly skeptic that it would last this long. Now that my daughter is now transitioning from breastmilk to solid food, I have been using the food pouches in storing fruit and vegetable purees for easy serving. What I like about the food pouches is… Read more

that it can be stored in the freezer for a long time and are easy to clean and reuse. The downside, however, is that it can only be reused for three times before it starts manifesting signs of tearing. I wish I could reuse it longer but then that’s probably the reason why the manufacturer limited the reuse of pouches to keep the purees clean and safe for eating of my baby. Creating baby puree mixes is also my new hobby as it awakens my creativity in mixing up different fruits and vegetables for feeding my darling. It’s easy to label the puree and it has markers that show how much has been stored inside the pouch. But what I really love about this product is its microwave-friendly feature which makes it easy for working mums like me to place it inside the oven and in a few minutes be able to serve it to my darling. The free spoon which changes colour when the custard is too hot for serving is also a plus factor why I bought the pouches last year. I bought another set though BabysRUs just this month and I’m about to use it as soon as my last few pouches wear out.

Terrible – Leaked vanilla custard all through my cooler bag on first use. Custard leaked out through the cap, even though it was screwed on correctly and tightly.
