Philips Avent Classic

My son loves it – Tried a few different brands and my 5 month old unfortunately wasn’t to pleased. One particular evening nothing would settle him, so my husband went out looking for a chemist after hours to try some other dummies. He came back with the avent classic dummies & he took to it straight away & finally stopped crying. I like the size of teat & the dummy… Read more ·  1

as it doesn’t come anywhere near his nostrils. They are reasonable price compare to some others and have some really cute designs.

Best of the bunch – These are preferred by both my children. They didn't like other brands and didn't even like other Avent ones such as the soft silicone ones, they specifically had to be the original. I do think the sizings are a bit off though, my now 5 year old used the 0-6 months till just after 12months and my now 9 month old still only wants the size 0-6… Read more ·  1

because the 6-18 makes him gag and the lengths are very different not just a slight increase. So pricey but they have made a good soother. I have never had to replace them due to wear and tear only if we lose them. The babies choose the dummy that fits their shape of mouth and what they find comfortable and my kids chose a brand my family has trusted for years :)

Doesn’t glow all night – Same than everyone, those a great dummies but the glow in the dark is useless as it stops glowing so quick, it’s no help in the middle of the night, what a shame. Had I known I wouldn’t have purchased yet an other set of dummies. They should not advertise them as night dummies or should add a appendix explaining it only last a very short time. Show details

A regular dummy - nothing glow about it – We’ve been using Avent dummies for about 3 months and they are great. We were excited to see the glow in dark feature. While the actual dummy is good (similar to other agent ones) it is not glow in the dark and they are still difficult to find in the cot at night - both for our little one and us. They shouldn’t be marketed as glow in the dark.

Baby is soothed with this dummy – No problems with the dummy. Certainly a huge help during teething time as my baby is soothed by the dummy. She goes to sleep with it. Even when chewing the dummy during teething, there haven't been any leaks. No problems keeping the dummy in the mouth. I would highly recommend!  Show reply

Don't expect these to glow in the dark! – We bought these recently to help both our little one locate her dummy in the night and also to save us from scrambling around trying to find it for her. I was quite excited to find these dummy's online and thought they would be perfect for us all. No. I am so disappointed. We've trialled them for a week now and nothing will make them glow. They… Read more

are just the same as any other dummy, they just have more of an inticing title. We've now resorted to bright or block coloured ones to help us locate them easier and I have requested a refund from the supermarket where we bought them from. Don't bother until Philips actually change them to make them glow as the title suggests.

Not the Best – I used these dummy's for the first 6 months. They do the job as long as you hold them in. Bubs found it difficult to keep the dummy in due to the flat teat shape. When she got bigger she managed to put the whole dummy in her mouth, it was stuck and needed me to retrieve it. After this scare I changed to a more traditional dummy and haven't had any… Read more

issues with keeping the dummy in or it going in her mouth. Disappointed I didn't change brands sooner. I would not recommend these dummy's

Disappointing glow – When I was told that there were glow in the dark dummies, I was wrapped! I thought, NOW I'll get a good night's sleep because my lil man will find his dummy on his own... WRONG! I tried then tues night and such a faint glow I could just see them. So I thought they need to be exposed to light to recharge. Wed morning I put them in their cover and… Read more

put them on the window sill until bedtime hoping to have a stronger glow- there I was met with disappointment again! So Thurs morning I rang Philips Avent customer care and was told by the lady they're designed to only last 2 hours (not all night) and she asked me if I had put them in light (which I had). I advised my disappointment and that I just wanted a refunded. She offered to send me another type of dummy, but I declined since I was disappointed in their night dummy.

You would think that the glow duration and 'recharge' recommendation would be mentioned at least in the manual (which I looked over various times in case it mentioned it). I'm sure they'd not disclose on packaging as it may deter some people from buying them.

This product did not meet my standards and I will be taking it back for a refund.

Functional but need to replace frequently – Functional but needs to be replaced frequently as teat seems to wear near the plastic base. My baby enjoys using them and I like that they are orthodontically designed.

Bubs loves them! – I've been an early childhood educator for many years and have found most of my clients prefer these dummies. Naturally, when I had my own baby I opted for these myself. My son absolutely loves them and refuses to take anything else! A bit on the pricey side but I feel I have piece of mind using orthodontic dummies as they won't cause problems for… Read more ·  1

future teeth. I also use the avent bottles (another client favourite) and they too have been fantastic so far :)

Dummy snapped in half my baby ate it!! – Hi there avent, I would like to let you know my daughters dummy has snapped in half and she has potentially swilled it!! The doctor can't find it because it's see through and are not sure whether to wait for it to perforate her bowel or just randomly go hunting for it. I use all your products from bottles, teats, electric sterilizer and I swear by… Read more

your products however I'm very traumatised that the hard plastic could be snapped by a baby and now is potentially putting holes throughout my infants intestines and bowels.

Highly dangerous – I've used this product for the first 6 months, gotta say no problem. But as soon as my baby became 6months old i bought the one which is recommended for 6-18 months. He was using it as teeter sometimes and playing with it. The biggest problem with this product is especially with the one letting air flow is that it's base is not too big so if a 6… Read more

months old baby or olde can easily put the whole dummy it in his mouth and would try to swallow it or obstruct his airway, my son stopped breathing!!!! Now its shape is slightly elliptical , but it can even go fully into a baby's mouth transversely!!!

It's very dangerous! Very dangerous!! Especially you would never want to leave it in your child's mouth while you are not around for a sec , or esp if your child is active and plays with everything!

Do not put your child at risk!!!!

Please consider other products if you find, make sure you consider appropriate design that aren't bad for their teeth and aren't causing obstruction of airways or can't get fully into the mouth!!!

I will put the matter to philips avent company as well!

highly dangerous, babies can put the whole dummy in the mouth even transversely despite eleptical shape of base and will cause a gag...even death!!!!! , expensive

Waste of money ! – What a terrible product. $13 for a pair of useless dummies. I bought 4 of them and my son used them for a week only. I though he does not like dummies but when changed to happy baby dummies realized that this product is useless. 3 pieces of Happy baby dummies = $4.75 at coles I don't recommend avent products at all as I had the same problem with avent bottles which caused reflux for my baby. useless and unacceptance by babies

I hate them. Beware! – I never write reviews but I felt compelled to come on here and write this. My 4 mth old loves his dummy but it constantly falls out. I wish I never gave it to him. I think this type of dummy is one of the worst for falling out. Now he goes to bed crying all the time as it keeps falling out. I stand by him for about half an hour trying to hold it… Read more

in while he prepares to doze off. The poor thing takes a long time to fall asleep as he's interrupted with the dummy falling out so frequently. So he goes to bed between cries and relief from the dummy. Pram and car rides are horrible. I now don't take him in the pram if he's due for a sleep as I will constantly have to stop pram to reinsert dummy and sometimes he can't sleep because the dummy won't stay in long enough. Always crying throughout. Although it soothes him, it also works him up by 'teasing' him. If I. Could turn back time I never would have bought this dummy. I have ordered a wabbanub front the US (a toy with dummy attached made specifically because these dummies are so bad at staying in) so I hope it works.

Doesn't stay in, causing mum and nub much distress

great soothers – Love these orthodontic soothers. My son will take these strait away. I tried other models & different brands but he will only have these. I love how it doesn't cover his nose where as other models do. I love the plastic container they come in, I also love the plastic covers that cover the soother. Only downside is that ants can crawl into… Read more ·  1

the plastic soother.

This is probably the only Avent product I like & Ive tried lots! fits my sons mouth well, I like the plastic case & the covers that go over them only downside is ants can get into the plastic soother bit

Not as I expected – I got these as my baby loves his regular Avent dummies and these have the same shape so when I saw that they glowed I was stoked as it can be so had to find the dummy in the cot in the dark, and turning on a lamp or light just unsettles bub even more. I was a bit disappointed as the glow doesn't last long at all. As a dummy they are great but no better than the regular Avent as the glow dosent last. Great shaped dummy Glow doesn't last

Excellent dummy! – We bought a couple of different dummies when our daughter was ready to try them and the Avent ones are the only dummies she takes. They come in different sizes and I love the fact that they have a clip on cover, which fit all stages dummies. Dummy is not too big or too small for the babies mouth, it's just right and it's orthodontic. They also come in a nice range of colours/themes. Shape, orthodontic, clip on cover, nice colour range

Good as a regular dummy – Although these are supposed to glow they don't really last very long. They are durable, reliable avent dummies though and by daughter hasn't chewn any holes in them yet! The only really bad thing is the clear one is really hard to see, especially in the dark against white sheets! Durable avent dummy - same as the others Hard to see the clear one in the cot, glow doesn't last long

Great dummies – I started by bub on this one because I got a free one in a show bag! She took to it ok when she was ready and we have been using this brand ever since. They are really durable and even now that she has teeth, to this date still hasn't bitten a hole in one. They can go in the sterilisers (the avent ones anyway) and don't get water on the inside of it when you clean it, Durable

Good dummy – Great pacifier with good shape for babies mouth and cover for dummy that comes with it. Orthodontic approved and easy handle for baby to grasp. Was not to bulbous for babies mouth. easy to clean. Different patterns to choose from and same look as age group increases. Orthodontic White

Good – I got these dummies as the other avent ones I had were totally clear and I could never see or find the dummy in the cot. These are great dummies and son is happy with them, but I still cant see it on his patterned sheets and it does not glow in the dark. Avent make great dummies and my baby rarely takes a dummy - but these ones he will. Very… Read more

durable and these have a good shape too, where it leaves babies nostrils clear. Some dummies start to cover babies nose. Can not see the dummy ! Glow in the dark it is not.

Good – Was recommended this dummy by the mums in my mothers group, seems to be a favorite for alot of babies My son is picky and he takes these well. It comes with it's own nipple cover which is really handy esp when you want to clip the comforter onto the babies top, it keeps the nipple "clean" Note : my son only takes the dummy when he is sleepy , I… Read more

wish there was a dummy that he takes all the time - Baby takes it

- very cute design

- handle does glow in the dark but not for long

- very good price when on sale $8.99 for a packet of 2 from babies r us - the plastic seems to cover my sons nose at times

- comes with it's own nipple cover

Good – Overall I am happy with this dummy. I changed from the "Classic" dummy to the "Night Time" and hence I was a bit disappointed when the glow in the dark feature didn't last very long!!! My son loves these dummies and hence so do I! The symmetry of the nipple makes it easy for bubs to replace himself. The glow in the dark feature does not last… Read more

long enough! The dummy needs to have been exposed to light recently in order for it to glow - hence it is still impossible to find at 2am! Although the nipple is symmetrical, the plastic part is not. The "rounded edge" tends to cover bubs nose - although it doesn't seem to upset him at all.

Excellent – I have been happy with these dummies since Day 1. My son has progressed through the various sizes and has been able to easily replace the dummy himself because it is symmetrical. My infant son loves them and hence I love them! The big plus is the fact that the nipple is symmetrical, hence, when bubs is old enough and can put it back in themselves… Read more

there is no "right way up". I also think that the characters on the dummies are cute! It isn't the cheapest dummy on the market but mine haven't detoriorated at all through use. The recommended replacement time frame is quite short - the dummy still looks like new! There is a temptation to use them for longer than recommended!

Excellent – Great product and the only dummy my daughter will use, price is reasonable considering that they do last a good amount of time. These come in fun colours, and I have found because they are a collapsible nipple that they don't go flat. I have only had to replace due to age, not for wear. Only negative I've found is when you wash these dummies in… Read more

warm water the water does actually get into the nipple, so you need to make sure you squeeze it all out when rinsing to ensure no water is in the nipple.
